GREECE, N.Y. — A video shared with News10NBC shows the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office chasing a red SUV through a golf course in Greece.

The person who took the video says it happened just before 5 p.m. on Sunday at Lakeshore Country Club. In the video, you can see someone jumping out of the moving SUV and running away.

That led to a foot chase near the 18th hole of the course and a neighborhood in the area. Another video shows damage left behind on the driving range.

Witnesses describe what they saw

Joe Lauderdale was standing on the first tee box when the chase unfolded in front of him. His friend gave him a heads up, but not the kind he expected.

“Heads up, I’m expecting a golf ball. I see a full police chase,” Lauderdale said.

The vehicle crossed the road, hopped a ditch and passed through the first fairway before going through the 18th green. The driver then jumped out of the moving car and ran on foot.

“It was pretty electric,” Lauderdale said.

Lauderdale plays at the course often, and doesn’t plan on stopping soon.

“The one cop, he must have been a golfer, because there was one cop who just parked his car and ended up running it out, and I was fully expecting to give up my golf cart for him to just chase after him, because he was the only guy running and parked his car,” said Lauderdale.

Dom Mangano said he was with his dad hitting golf balls at Lake Shore when he heard police sirens near the road. Then, he sees the car veer onto the course and drive towards him and his dad.

“I grabbed my dad, jumped out of the way, and once I realized we were safe, I pulled out my camera and started filming,” said Mangano.

Mangano called his friend to tell him what happened, and the two think they saw the same chase, just at different times.

“I called him, I was like, ‘oh my gosh, you won’t believe it there was a car chase across the golf course.’ He goes, ‘was the car red?’ I’m like, ‘yes, it was.’ So they had seen the start of it. And I had seen the end of it,” said Mangano.

The car left its radiator on the driving range. Officers later approached golfers to check if they were okay and asked if they wanted to press charges. Mangano declined. “I think the guy’s got enough problems on his plate as it is,” Mangano said.

Mangano has been playing at Lakeshore for more than 20 years. He said nothing like this has ever happened before. “You don’t really expect to be hitting a bucket of balls and then look to your right and watch a car getting airborne and start driving through the grass,” Mangano said.

We reached out to Lake Shore Country Club, but we haven’t heard back. When trying to go inside to talk to a manager, we were told nobody was in Tuesday.

The Greece Police Department says it wasn’t involved in the chase, but it came into Greece from the Charlotte area. The sheriff’s office says it will share information about the chase once it’s able to. Check back for updates.
