That was pretty brutal, the guy going through the window and then taking some solid shots. That guy was way more accurate than most of the NBA guys who throw down. I'm surprised that hasn't happened to a certain world leader who just had a book written about him called "Commander in Cheat", by Rick Reilly.
Any word on the epilogue of that "fight" in the video at the club in So. Africa? Looked like assault to me -- the older guy who got punched out put up virtually no resistance, probably has broken bones in his face. Honey, I had a bad day at the club...
No way to look good fighting at a golf course.
Playing in the Senior Division of the World Am this year, I made a 15-footer to save par and said to one of my playing partners with about the same putt, innocently enough, I thought: "I hope that gave you some help with the line."
On the next tee box, much to three of our surprise, the other "gentleman" reamed me out about giving advice, had I never played tournament golf, don't I know anything about etiquette. Needless to say, he missed the putt.
But his tirade was so disconcerting I was ready to withdraw from the tournament. Played with 11 of 12 great guys in the World Am. Guess I should count myself fortunate to have met the 11.
First, it was innocent comment. I play tournament golf and such a comment would have been taken in levity,Second, that other "gentleman" is clueless to the rules regarding advice.
A breach would have occurred if you had suggested "this is the line" before hand..
What a jerk. Glad you did not withdraw.
I once played in a fund raiser scramble that offered an accurate drive award. When the winner was announced a guy complained that he was in the following group and watched the tee shot that had been off line but hit a tree and bounced back in, landing close to center line string.
The response was that the drive is measured where it ends up. Mayhem ensued. As scrambles go, alcohol may have contributed.
If that shot had hit a tree and rolled into the hole, by his logic, the holed shot would not count..Some people consume sour grapes as a diet staple..
If you were not fat but someone called you fat you would ignore it, right? If you WERE fat and someone called you fat, how would you react?
That was embarrassing to the golfing community to say the least. I say ban them both a year from that golf course. I also had a run in a few years ago on a golf course. My brother and I along with to buddies were behind a slow playing foursome in front of us. The foursome behind us on one hole teed off while we were in the fairway waiting for the slow players to finish putting on the green. We were sitting in our golf carts and the guys came up behind us in their carts. I get out of the cart and grab a club not knowing what to expect. We are trying to explain to them the foursome in front of us were playing real slow. Thankfully that was all that came about of that situation. The four ended up taking off not finishing their round of golf. I’m not sure why the course marshal did not talk to that group in front of us. That day it took us 5hrs to complete that round. This is always in the back of my mind when there is a slow foursome in front and a fast foursome behind us if this will happen again. We are in our 50’s and that group behind us were probably 30ish. No matter the age have patience when out there on the golf course.😎
Isn’t that the way it always is, the group in front of you is painfully slow and the group behind is late for a doctor’s appointment.
or playing speed golf...or their significant others have "plans"...for them.
Learning from golf advisor.
I have never seen an actual physical altercation but I have seen plenty of more than my share of verbal confrontations. It makes everyone there edgy and praying that it doesn’t come to blows. There’s a reason why professional golfers get boozed up during play. I’m just curious if the authorities were called since the “ videographer” provided the prosecutor with “Exibit 1”.
My first post should have said “There is a reason why professional golfers DONT get all boozed up”.
Ban them both from the club....forever.
Agreed!
