A golf cart ended up fully submerged in a lake at Payne's Valley Golf Course, the Tiger Woods-designed course near Branson, Missouri, after two golfers reportedly jumped a stone curb and sent the cart over the edge of a cliff. Footage of the aftermath, posted online a few days before the article, captured the incident at the course's par-3 19th hole, which is surrounded by a body of water known as "Lunker Lake". The story has drawn attention largely for the recklessness of the stunt and the fact that both golfers walked away apparently unharmed.

The article notes it is unclear exactly when the incident occurred or whether it was linked to Fourth of July weekend festivities, and that the original poster speculated alcohol may have been a factor, though this is not confirmed. Two witness videos show the cart's roof visible beneath the water, belongings scattered on the rocky cliffside, and someone in the water retrieving items. The gap in the course's perimeter fence, where the cart passed through, is expected to be closed off following the incident.
