Another muni altercation...

that I'm not necessarily proud of happened tonight.  So my friend and I are on number 14 and behind a twosome and foursome.  The 14th is a short par 4 slightly downhill and downwind.  The green is set back left a little with I-35 on the far right.  It is about 290 from the tips.  The twosome in front of us heads for the green and I tee off 3W in fairway about 250 but on left side with over-hanging trees.  Friend hits driver right we walk to our shots. 

Twosome leaves green then he chunks his wedge to the fairway about 40 yds short.  I hit a wedge up into another tree that drops down 15 or so yds in front.  So my friend and I are about 20 yards apart RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY when a golf ball lands right in between us and bounds down the fairway.  I say OMG WTF we are standing in the middle of the fairway and those pricks are on the white tees not even 250 yards away.  I can read their *goshdarn* shirt they are so close and they try and wave like oops sorry.  So I hit my shot and walk the 15 yards in front of me to their ball and swipe at it with my wedge and it goes to the OB fence and through it.  (In retrospect probably not the smartest thing I've done)

So I make my par putt and turn around to see this late 40's early 50's man running after me screaming and cussing.  I have to grab his arms to make sure he wasn't going to hit me right then and he backs of cussing about his ball.  So I say, "That ball almost hit me on the fly it isn't your *goshdarn* ball anymore."  And he tries to grab my friends ball on the green then goes for my clubs. 

I say "you *goshdarn* touch my clubs I'll kick your ass.  I'll give you a ProV man it isn't about the *goshdarn* ball.  You almost hit me on the fly when I was 250 yards right in front of you. "

He said, "Well you were hitting your 3rd shot"

"Yeah I hit a tree but I was in the *goshdarn* fairway right in front of you.  So you are fair game if you are not on the green in reg you low-rent *fudge*? "

Then the guy punches me kind of on the chin and tries to grab me.  So I grab him and we roll around.  I get on top and punch him in the eye like 5 times.  This while his friend tries to kick me so my buddy has to back him off. 

It gets broken up and we go to the next tee while their drunk asses continue to cuss at us.  I hook my tee shot into the woods and they say, "ha ha good shot".  "You better hurry up and hit or I'm going to hit you again."

So while walking to the ball I call the proshop and tell them what happened.  Guy comes out and I tell the story again.  He asked if I want to press charges.  I say no because I hit him back and he looks worse than I do.  He talks to them and they said we gave them no chance to apologize and they were on their 3rd shot. 

Anyways they got kicked off the course.  It was a stupid incident I wish didn't happen but it did.  Maybe I could have just said something to them and not hit their ball.  But that guy was a raging lunatic and pretty much wanted a fight and I'm not sure it would of ended differently.  So I don't feel bad for punching the prick in the face. 

Well that's my story.  Thanks for listening.  I'm certainly not proud of it but what a *feces*ty ass day on the course.  Oh I also played like crap.

You gotta be *feces*tin' me!!!!

He did NOT say that!

You should have have walked over and told him he should leave before you kicked his ass AGAIN....

give it to 'em!!

Oh yes he did and that crossed my mind.  But I didn't want to mess him up worse and risk the pro shop/cops not giving me the benefit of the doubt. 



BTW, this was only my second fight ever.  And I've never had any problems on the golf course like this. 

Are you sure you were not halucinating from the weed??

Having seen Walfredo's first fight (it was with an 83 year old tractor driver) it's no wonder the guy wanted to have another go.

He clearly tripped on a stone.

Wally, you punched him in the eye 5 times?  You should have gone for the head.....

 

Yikes! 

Also sounds like one more reason not to advocate tampering with a golf ball that nearly hits you.
