You thought the US Open had some tough spots. You haven't seen anything yet.

It's been a tough week for golf courses. First, this sinkhole took hold of a golf course near Kansas City. Now, Indian Hills Golf Course in Canada has a natural gas leak.

The video looks like something out of a post-apocalyptic movie (the arrow above shows where the gas is), but there's not a ton of concern. Here's The Observer:

The localized state of emergency for the Indian Hills Golf Course on Lakeshore Avenue remains in effect, said deputy mayor Doug Cook, who emphasized that the gas leak continues to pose no health risks to the public.

“Progress is being made, but as a precaution, the state of emergency remains in effect until further notice,” he said.

There are no natural gas pipelines in the area, Union Gas confirmed, and the only other man-made source of methane gas—a sewage treatment plant—has been ruled out by an Ontario Ministry of Environment review.

As such, the best guess is the gas leak is naturally occurring. If this is the case, it is a very uncommon event because natural gas is usually found deep in the ground. There has only been one case in the last 15 years of a naturally occurring gas leak within the area that Union Gas services, Andrea Stass, the utility’s manager of media relations, said Thursday.

I'm going to file this one away for Bubba Watson's next on-course blowup. It should come in handy.
