Police chases are often crazy sights to behold, but what happens when they end up on a golf course?

That’s exactly what happened in June of 2014 in Moorhead, Minnesota. Video of the chase was released on Wednesday and shows officers pursuing the fleeing driver, Kendall Feist, across a course (around the 3:40 mark) while golfers are present. Feist had been sentenced to 11 years in prison earlier this month.

"Via WDAZ: Now, the Moorhead Police Department has released dashboard camera video showing the officers’ perspective of the chase, which grabbed national media attention. The video, requested by The Forum months ago, was released Wednesday because the Clay County Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute the fleeing driver, Kendall Feist, after a federal judge sentenced him to 11 years in prison earlier this month, Moorhead police said. The chase led to discipline against three officers involved in the pursuit and their supervisor. "

Luckily, no one on the course was injured despite a few close calls. More importantly, officers observed good course etiquette by keeping their motorized vehicles more than 30 feet from all greens.
