Golfers finish game after armed robbery

MILWAUKEE (UPI) -- A group of persistent golfers said they were shocked when an armed man robbed them on a prestigious Milwaukee course, but they finished their game anyway.

The foursome and two caddies were on the 16th tee Saturday at Brynwood Country Club when an armed man popped out of the woods and said, "Give me your money," officials said.

The masked man stole items from one caddy and two golfers before running off, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported.

Undeterred, the golfers carried on with their game and all tee times went on as usual during the weekend, authorities said.

Club officials said they are glad no one was hurt in the incident and they are working with police to find the thief.

"The incident was an unusual occurrence at our club. Brynwood Country Club has a nearly 80-year history as one of the most prestigious country clubs in the Midwest," club officials said in a letter to members.
