Canyon West's 13th is a bitch to play now!

Canyon West Golf Club could be in deep shit and I ain’t meaning sand trap. Hmm, investigators are still on the 13th hole of Weatherford Golf Course trying to find answers to why there is a  buried bulldozer? It seems someone buried the earth moving machine underneath the fairway some 14 odd years ago. Accident? I don’t think so! After a tip off the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Tarrant Regional Auto Crimes Task Force and the National Insurance Crime Bureau invaded the course and took shovels to the 13th . There they found themselves a 9,000 pound Ford rubber tire loader buried 10 feet under. Ewh dear, golf club owners, Stan Mickle and his father, Wes Mickle, are the likely suspects. It is thought the equipment was stolen and then used to build the course before being disposed of after the job was completed! Oh no, even worse, investigators are now checking to see if the Mickles reported the bulldozer stolen to claim insurance (surely not!). It is estimated that the dozer would have cost between $40,000 to $50,000 at the time.Fore!!!!
