A drugs mule was caught trying to smuggle almost £100,000 worth cocaine in to the UK inside golf clubs when she was asked about her handicap — and replied: ‘I'm not disabled’, the Sun reports.Kayti Ella Dryer, 23, flew in to Manchester from Jamaica with the Class A drugs carefully concealed inside golfing equipment. But she was caught after claiming that she had gone to the island on a golfing break. When officials quizzed her about the sport, she failed to recognise a string of key terms such as fairway, birdie and handicap. They drilled into her clubs to check for drugs and found £83,000-worth of cocaine had been packed inside the shafts.
Jobless Dryer of Lewes, Sussex, pleaded guilty to trying to smuggle a kilo of drugs into the UK at Manchester Crown Court last Thursday and was jailed for four years.
