Sons of Former NASCAR Team Owner Banned from Golf Courses After Golf Cart Incident
The sons of former NASCAR team owner Tommy Baldwin, Luke and Jack Baldwin, have been banned from coming within 500 feet of any golf course after a bizarre incident involving golf carts turned reckless.
According to a video posted by Luke Baldwin (@Luke_Baldwin7ny) on TikTok, the two brothers were seen playing what they described as “bumper cars” with golf carts. The stunt escalated when one of the carts flipped over, drawing immediate attention and disciplinary action from the course.
The Incident
Witnesses reported the Baldwins weaving around the course in golf carts, colliding intentionally, and eventually overturning a cart. Though no injuries were reported, course officials deemed the behavior dangerous and damaging to property. Local authorities were called, and the decision was made to issue a restriction order keeping both brothers at least 500 feet from any golf course.
Family Ties to Racing
Luke and Jack Baldwin are the sons of Tommy Baldwin, a well-known name in the NASCAR world. Baldwin is a former Cup Series team owner who operated Tommy Baldwin Racing and has a respected background as a crew chief.
The irony of the incident hasn’t been lost on racing fans online. Many pointed out that while the Baldwin name is associated with high-level motorsport professionalism, the brothers’ golf cart antics leaned more toward “chaos than competition.”
Social Media Reaction
Clips of the overturned golf cart quickly spread across TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), sparking a mix of humor and criticism.
Some fans joked that the Baldwins were simply “testing short-track setups on turf.” Others criticized the recklessness, noting the potential danger to bystanders and the damage to the course.
The original TikTok by Luke Baldwin has since gone viral, gaining thousands of views and comments.
What’s Next?
While the ban effectively ends the brothers’ golf course adventures—at least for the foreseeable future—it’s unclear whether additional fines or penalties will follow. The course in question has not released a public statement regarding damages.
For now, Luke and Jack Baldwin may have to stick to racetracks or safer pastimes. As one fan quipped online: “Leave the bumping and flipping to NASCAR.”
