It seems Benny-Boy just narrowly missed getting into trouble again, this time in Central Ohio:

Did Roethlisberger 'water' golf course?

That Ben Roethlisberger left his mark at the Country Club at Muirfield Village last week is not in question.

The nature of the mark is.

Multiple reports yesterday suggested that a Dublin homeowner saw the troubled Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback urinating on the course during a round of golf early Friday evening.

The woman reported the incident to the club and then called police, who investigated. But Roethlisberger and his friends had left the course by then, the woman did not press charges, and no citations were issued.

A source close to Roethlisberger told ProFootballTalk.com that the man seen urinating was another member of Roethlisberger's group.

A woman who answered the phone at the club, after hearing the caller describe the man, reportedly told the caller that it was Roethlisberger. The caller then told police that it was Roethlisberger, according to the police report.

A club official told The Dispatch yesterday that it wasn't verified whether Roethlisberger or either of his playing partners was the culprit.

The official said an employee was sent to the area between the 17th green and 18th tee, where the incident occurred, and found no golfers there.

The woman's home on Davington Drive is adjacent to the 17th hole at the club and within view of the area where the incident occurred. She did not return a call from The Dispatch yesterday.

Roethlisberger's agent, Ryan Tollner, did not return a call from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Roethlisberger, a Findlay, Ohio, native, is suspended for the first four to six games of the NFL season after a college sophomore accused him in March of raping her in a Milledgeville, Ga., club. He was not charged.

He also was sued last year by a Nevada woman alleging that he sexually assaulted her in 2008. He was not charged in that case, either.

Before playing the Country Club at Muirfield Village, Roethlisberger attempted to get a tee time at the more prestigious Muirfield Village Golf Club across the road. But according to a source at that club, he was denied.

"His reputation precedes him," the source said.

Who the fuck goes back to the clubhouse just to piss???

 

Well, a course like this surely has a few bathroom houses out there. But there's no doubt that there isnt one between the 17th green and 18th tee.

But hell, anyone who lives on a golf course and expects to never see a dude peeing on a tree is out of their mind. It's like buying a house 200 yards from the tee on the right side of the fairway and expecting it to never get hit by golf balls.

This, IMO, is a non-event. Ben might be a douchebag, but I don't really think there was a bullet to be dodged here.

 

Agreed. Let me know when he pisses on an Asian hooker.

 

nothing to see here, move along...

spurrier pissed all over augusta national

 

Does the Asian hooker absolutely have to be on the golf course when he pisses on her or will the clubhouse be good enough?

 

fuckin ridiculous . ... is there one golfer in this country who has NOT pissed on a course at some point?

 

and that includes chick players

 

Since most of you guys are getting your panties in a wad about the story, some of the rumors and details were that BR went INTO the lady's yard to go to the bathroom (not the edge where the course and her yard meet) and she saw him. Another one was that he was ticketed by the Dublin Police Dept. for indecent exposure after she had called the clubhouse and described Roethlisberger. No dumbass would go INTO someone's yard to go to the bathroom except maybe you idiots.

Oh, and most people would at least try to hide behind a tree or some bushes when nature called.
