The Night of the Long Knives - Danger Golf World Cup 2015: The Night of the Long Knives
The build-up to the 2015 Danger Golf World Cup (DGWC) was once again mired in controversy, setting the stage for an infamous tournament. Team Bolivia faced disaster when their stalwart player, Faz, forgot to book time off work, leaving them short of an athlete. Their hopes seemed revived when Ian Horlock agreed to join them, but at the eleventh hour, he switched his allegiance to Team England, effectively eliminating Bolivia before the tournament began. This betrayal sent shockwaves through the Danger Golf world, highlighting its cutthroat nature.
Controversy continued as Ireland, the defending champions, saw their title defence hampered by questionable refereeing decisions. Loz, a fan favourite, found himself stuck in a modified water feature, adding to the chaos. Meanwhile, a swarm of killer bees in the lavender bush area made play hazardous for everyone.
Amidst the turmoil, Team USA displayed remarkable composure and skill, navigating the treacherous conditions to secure their maiden championship victory. The 2015 DGWC, dubbed "The Night of the Long Knives," would be remembered for its betrayal, controversy, and unexpected triumphs, underscoring the unpredictable nature of Danger Golf.
Leaked correspondence clearly shows Ian Horlock agreeing to join Team Bolivia.
However, at the 11th hour he switched his allegiance to Team England, effectively eliminating Bolivia from the tournament before it had even begun.
Let this serve as a reminder of the cut throat nature of world class Danger Golf.
