Hola el Pres,

After an intense case race over the weekend a kid from my dorm drove his car on to the golf course and ended up getting it stuck in a sand trap. After failed attempts of getting his new corolla towed out of the sand trap from his friends with trucks, it was left there over night and the next morning he woke up to police ripping him out of bed. To make it even worse they found weed in his car and his room.

Moral of the story you should not do a case race and try to drive.

Here is the story, enjoy the damage:

PORTSMOUTH — After spinning donuts and digging deep trenches in the golf course at Montaup Country Club late last Friday night, a Roger Williams University student left his severely damaged car behind mired in a sand trap. A few hours later, police awakened him with news that they had found his car — and two bags of marijuana in the center console. A groundskeeper for the country club, which is on Anthony Road, discovered the damage to two fairways in the morning on Feb. 27. A car had driven across fairways 6 and 16, leaving ruts up to a foot deep in places. The car was abandoned in a sand trap near Hole 10, with about two feet of water filling in around it. Police discovered that the 2010 Toyota Corolla is registered to Andrew M. Westerkamp, 19, of Bedford, Mass., a Roger Williams University student who lives right next to the golf course in the Baypoint Inn dorms. Police paid a visit to his dorm at 8 a.m. that Saturday, and found Mr. Westerkamp asleep and difficult to rouse. Mr. Westerkamp told police that his car had been missing, and denied being involved in the incident. But other students reported being with Mr. Westerkamp as he drove the car through the golf course. They said that they tried to pull the car out with a strap attached to a Jeep. When police asked if anyone had been hurt because the windshield was shattered, they said they had jumped on the windshield when the car couldn’t be pulled out. Mr. Westerkamp was charged with vandalism, reckless driving, obstruction, and possession of marijuana. In addition to the marijuana found in his car, police reported that a bag of pot was sitting on a counter in Mr. Westerkamp’s dorm room when they went to speak to him.

College. I mean what else can you say after reading a story like this? College. That’s it. Enough said. The four years of your life when reality ceases to exist and you can have a case race, get your new Corolla stuck in a sandtrap, have your buddies try to unsuccessfully pull it out, leave weed in the front seat, go pass out in bed, have the cops wake you up, say your car was stolen, only to have your roommate be like “no bro, remember we got it stuck in the sandtrap on the 10th hole” Yup that my friends is college and I miss the hell out of it.

PS – I love how this article kept referring to this kid as Mr. Westerkamp like he’s an account that just got busted for a white collar crime or something. Dude got his fucking car is stuck in a sand trap. You can call him Andy.

Double PS – Pretty sure this golf course is where I held the Barstool Pro Am before my wedding.
