I'm not a golf guy, stupid waste of time in my opinion, but know a couple guys that do... They use it as a day activity,. Hit the links by 7 get the first 9 holes in then have lunch and a couple drinks then back to the last 9. They are there all day on Saturdays while their wives shop, have lunch and drinks.. JD...
If you stopped playing to take a lunch break, does the whole course shut down? Talking to anybody's wife like that implies either total lack of upbringing or possibly a liquid lunch that lubricated the tongue, and disconnected the brain. Quite a bodyslam, is this a former wrestler??
I'm an ex-golfer. I got banned after an incident with some friend of Tiger's involving two balls and a putter. Anyway...
Group one breaks for lunch at the halfway point. Group two is right behind them. Golf etiquette requires that group two observe the formality of asking to play through, "Do you mind if we play through?" Group one is required to affirm permission, as in "By all means, go ahead of us." Group one's failure to ask is a bit boorish, but is not any cause for a verbal objection of any sort.
But that's not what happened.
You call the lady with me a filthy name and the fight's on. When the dust settled and the fight was over, Mister Big Mouth had seven broken ribs, a punctured lung, a cracked vertebra, a laceration on his forehead, and had briefly lost consciousness. That's a bit excessive.
I don't know what it is about golf, but it tends to attract arrogant assholes. Most people on the golf course are some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet, but maybe one out of a hundred is not.
Bullshit. Nothing personal. I was raised by a golfer. If you head off the course after the front nine without informing the following group that you're just taking a piss break and coming right back you lose your place. Full stop.
Hope jackass number two enjoys spending a good chunk of his income paying jackass one's medical bills for the rest of his natural life. And nowhere in the article does it state that jackass one *actually called jackass two's wife a cunt*. It says
"... The victim said he had “some choice words” for the group, saying they were not showing “proper golf etiquette” by playing through without asking.
He saw the woman leaving the clubhouse in a golf cart and told her “they were being a——- for cutting in front of them,” according to the affidavit. The victim said the woman “flipped him off and went crying back to her group,” per the affidavit. His playing partners told cops that a few minutes later, the woman’s husband, later identified as 34-year-old Jerry Whitaker, got in the victim’s face, cops wrote. Whitaker demanded the victim apologize for calling his wife a c—. The victim refused. ..."
So it's entirely possible that jackass one told jackass two's wife that her husband (jackass two), friends, and her were "being cunts" for not asking if they could play through, and jackass two's wife decided that saying "he called me a cunt!" would elicit more sympathy (or whatever) than "he said we were being cunts!". And jackass two decided to ask no questions, (like a couple commenters in this thread) and jump straight to gifting jackass one with a good chunk of his paycheck and life savings(for the rest of his natural life) in return for the insult.
Stupid people met stupid people, added woman, and stupid people lost. They deserve each other. FFS.
to certain commenters: FAFO? Yeah. Unless you're killing someone, or using reasonable force to eject someone from your property or something like that, you're the one who's liable to "find out" what "garnishing wages/pension" means. Kaptain Keyboard.
Well, you call a man's wife a cunt and make her cry you gotta be prepared for an angry husband.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, angry husband does seem to have taken things a little too far in this case.
Thar guy is gonna get sued into extinction. Likely alcohol involved.
ReplyDeleteBasically this: if you call a man's wife a cunt, that translates directly to "kick my ass" in the language of husbands, whether true or not.
ReplyDeleteI dont play gulf but wtf with the "were taking s lunch break, you guys can't continue until we get back" attitude?
ReplyDeleteDaryl
My thought also. You want to play golf, play golf. You want to eat, eat.

FOFA. Appropriate response to an uncalled for insult. If this happened more often people might become a little more polite

Golf and temper tantrums often go hand and hand from what I've heard...

DeleteResponse to the insult frankly demanded by situation, but was excessive. Prob drunk.
ReplyDeleteStupid shite. You head to the clubhouse to take a break after the front nine and they don't have to ask you to play through.
