Not Quite the Ryder Cup: Drunken 'Golf Cart Driving' for Iowa Man

An Ankeny man might do well to bring an extra driver next time he gets in a golf cart — and not the kind of driver you use to hit a golf ball.

Jason Greene was arrested in Slater on Saturday and charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated after the golf cart he was driving allegedly struck 47-year-old William Hartman of Slater. Both men were participating in Nite Hawk Bar & Grill's "Puttin' Around Town" event, a first-ever miniature golf fundraiser held to benefit the Slater First Responders and Fire Department.

The Story County Sheriff’s Office told WHO Channel 13 that Hartman was riding on the back of another golf cart and, when he jumped off it, the cart driven by Greene struck him.

According to WHO, Hartman was air lifted to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines.
