While the craze for our most loved sport can’t be helped, there are times when you have to draw a line. A TikTok star going by the name of Katie Sigmond made the mistake recently of driving a golf ball (and a broken club) into the depths of the Great Canyon. The action has led to multiple charges being filed against her, each meriting a fine of up to $1,000.

TikTok star plays golf on the Great Canyon, breaks club

In a video that went viral, a woman is seen hitting a golf ball on the foothills of the Great Canyon. While she indeed connects with the ball, a part of her club detaches itself and flings into the bowels of the Canyon. The stunned lady, later identified as Katie Sigmond, then reacted to the bizarre shot on camera, which got her an unwanted promotion from the Facebook page of the Grand Canyon National Park.

“Do we really need to say, ‘don’t hit golf balls into the Grand Canyon?'” the caption containing a snapshot of the event read. The picture was taken at the edge of the canyon’s South Rim, near Mather Point. It also stated that such actions threatened those in the lower echelons of the hills, such as hikers and wildlife.

Case filed against the woman, charges could be up to $1,000

The actions invited a plethora of criticisms, which requested officials to look into the matter. Indeed, public affairs specialist at the Park’s service told that three Class B misdemeanor charges had been filed for “creating hazardous conditions, littering, throwing the objects themselves.”

While each charge could see fines amounting to $1,000 each, the woman in question is unlikely to face any jail time. The case will be heard at the US Magistrates’ court in Flagstaff, Arizona, at an undisclosed date.

While numerous tourists visit the Great Canyon to be amazed by its grandeur, many forget that the location is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The repeating offenders of littering should be tackled carefully, with an eye to preventing it in the future.
