Just wondering how many people have been involved in or witnessed
physical violence on the golf course?
So many posts contain a solution to a problem on the course that
involve "a club across the head" or other violent solution.
I have played probably more than 5,000 rounds of golf and have never
been involved, or witnessed a physical violent reaction.
Probably a waste of time to ask for only "yes" posts but I do it
anyway. LOL

Well, I was a member of my club's golf team. We played in the
"Hessenliga" and would play match play against other clubs in the
league.
We played a match one day against a team whose golf course was a
goat track. The ruling before the matches started was lift and place
on all closely mown areas of the golfcourse--basically the fairway.
The first set of matches was foursomes. On one of the hole, my
partner looked over at me and asked me if our opponent had not
breached a rule. His second shot had landed short of the green but was
in the rough. He lifted his ball and placed it. I called him on it
and he tried to tell me that the 3 inch grass was closely mown, since
he had seen them cutting it in the morning.
Of course, I laughed at him and told him that he lost the hole.
There was no way that that grass was closely mown. After a bid of
arguing, his partner told him to forget about it and we headed to the
next tee box.
On the way, he would not stop running his mouth. "If that is how
you want to win, then you are idiots" was one of the
phrases--translated from german to english. I tried to ignore him,
but my partner said something to him--nothing insulting. The guy woud
not shut up and I said, " what the f**k?"
Well, that really set him off, because he thought that I had
directed it at him. He began yelling at me that in Germany people
should be speaking german and then made a comment about my american
heritage.
On the next tee box, the guy would not shut up. My partner addressed
the ball and just when he was getting ready to take the club
back,asshole would start running his mouth. I said something to him
and his partner told him to back down. We finished the hole and moved
to the next hole.
Well, it was the same damned thing. This time, though, he simply
would not shut up. After attempting to hit my drive at least six
times and warning him duly that sh*t was about to break loose, he did
it again. I threw my driver at him and headed in his direction. My
caddy was restraining me and telling this guy that he should finally
shut up. After about ten minutes of some pretty serious arguing, the
guy finally kept his trap shut.
The best part was that in the afternoon single's matches, one of our
players dropped out and I moved in to his spot. My opponent was none
other than the dipsh*t from the morning round.
He approached my on the first tee and extended his hand saying, "how
nice, I have the honor of playing with you again." I looked at his
extended hand and laughed in his face. We did not speak one word to
eachother the entire round.
The best part of the round was on the fourth hole, a par five. I
hit two drives OB left and managed to hit a third one in the fairway.
He drove way right and had to take an unplayable lie. Well, I
proceeded to hack the ball up the fairway--was playing like dog
poo--and I think that he was annoyed that I did not simply give him
the hole after knocking two OB on the teebox.
He hacked a couple out of the rough, ended up in a greenside bunker.
After two failed attempts to extricate the ball, he sent his third
attempt sailing over the green, about 40 yards away. I won the hole
after taking an 11!

When I was younger I punished dozens of golf clubs for poor
shots.....but never got into it with another person. Now basketball is

Yep, you need to get out more, Howard. I once saw a club pro and his
brother (the greenskeeper) rolling around, brawling, right next to the
practice green. Talk about passion for the game!

Possibly - but I tended to hang around other officers who would get

In Va. at a course which no longer exists- Shannon Green, a guy got so
pissed
that a guy hit his second shot onto a par 5 from 265 yds, that he ran
off the green,
hit the guy in the forehead with his putter, causing brain damage. I
saw the guy he
hit several years later, and he walked with a limp, and had a problem
with his arm.
He said he sued the guy, but the guy had moved all his assets, declared
bankruptcy,
so he got nothing. The guy told me he had never hit a shot that far in
his life, and the
only reason he hit was because a group behind them was pushing them.
The guy that got
hit could no longer play golf. The fool got something like 3 months in
jail for assault. Had
a good lawyer.

Absolutely. Those were probably younger than 21, but had been
drinking. I haven't hung around bars since I was a kid in college
(not counting the 19th hole of a golf course). I expect if I found
getting drunk to be entertaining (I'm lucky that while I like many

I once finished a round in the dark and was so disgusted with the condition
of the golf course that day that under the cover of darkness, before I left
the 18th green (and knowing there was no one behind us), I took a leak into
the cup on the 18th green. An editorial comment, of sorts.
Does that count?

That's pretty sick if that's a true story. Even if no one else was
going to reach into the cup that day, someone was going to have to the
next day. Dried pee ain't that great either.
With your love of verbal and written expression, I think you could have
found a more mature way of letting them know how you felt.
