Uh huh. Did you hear the one about the guy who beat his wife to death
with a golf club? When the police showed up, they were shocked an
horrified with the mess. When they asked the guy how many times he hit
her, he thought for a minute and said "Eight, but mark me down for a
six."

"How many times did you hit him?" asked the arresting officer.
"Six, but put me down for a four."

"What club did you beat him with?"
"1-iron."
"Yeah, that club always gets me in trouble, too."

I believe the judge commented that the greater felony was in using a
9-iron when it should clearly have been a 7 iron. This adds about 19
years to his potential sentence.

Jason Pellow died of his injuries on his 20th birthday.

William Hutt,originally arrested for attempted murder, was never
charged with murder. Frank Phillips, the district attorney for Orange
County, NY, strikes again with his lazy, abusive, and irresponsible
administration.

Oliver "Hack" Mackson, of the notoriously lazy and irresponsible Times
Herald-Record, knowingly published false information in his article,
stating that Pellow was still alive and "recuperating." Mackson also
refused to run a retraction or correction.

Perhaps these injustices helped contribute to your callous jokes about
golf clubs.

Golf is a stupid game for anal retentive people, who enjoy puttering
around all day with balls, sticks and holes. Perhaps that is why you
folks get so much amusement mocking the dead.

Robbie,

You have to believe me that there was never any attempt at a joke in my
original post. There are occasional posts and threads about golf and
people being struck by wayward shots and temper management involving on
course behavior with golf clubs. I was trying to point out that
irresponsible behavior with our equipment can have serious consequences.

It sounds like you know Jason Pellow or his family so I apologize if my
post caused your or those you know any added grief.

I live in Orange county so I will take a closer look at the DA's record.
In that respect, I appreciate the heads up.

Joe
