This happened at my local course on Sunday sometime.... Some sort of argument broke out over slow play and one guy hit the other w/ his 6 iron.. The dude who got hit had to be life flighted from the course... Crazy stuff...

I don't think I've ever seen slow play taken so seriously.

The argument between two groups of four golfers started at the 13th hole, and by the 15th it turned physical. That's when a 33-year-old Puyallup man pulled out his 6-iron and swung at the victim's head.

That is rediculious. I get that slow play can get annoying but to take it that seriously is what makes newbies scared to golf. I know I was scared of the typical golf snobs my first time out. It jsut so happens that I met up with one and he threatened to kick my off his course. It is sad that these people ruin the game of golf for newcomers.

I just marked that course on my "DNP" list (not like I would every make it up there). That is just crazy. I always thought alcohol brings out one's "true" self. I would think twice about being around that guy when he drinks if I was his friend.

There is no justification for taking a 6I to someone's head unless they pulled out a gun.

Attacking someone with a weapon is an act of cowardice and the guy is gutless for doing so. If you can't act like a gentlemen or have the mental capacity to ask for a marshall/course pro to resolve the issue then you don't belong on a golf course.

As opposed to say, a 5-iron or a pitching wedge?

I always find it funny that whenever there is an assault with a golf club they always print which club it was. I remember someone joking that when Jack Nicholson took a 3I to someone's windshield it was a poor club choice, that a shorter, stiffer wedge would have been a better choice.

Not that I find assaults of any kind funny...

WOOOOW that is nutty...'taking a 6 iron to someone's head' and 'bleeding profusely' never go to well in the same story. Just hope these two guys never bump into each other on another golf course! Can you imagine them as singles getting paired up? EAASSY KILLAH!

This made the news in Denver yesterday!
I was shocked. I would like to know how it escalated to that degree.
Hope the guy swinging is in jail.

Auburn is actually a nice muni and the hole that the assault occurred on is one of the more interesting and challenging holes on the course. I would say don't let the incident that happened on that course stop anyone from playing it. Reality is it could happen anywhere. I'm not condoning the action of any party involved but the article doesn't say if the swinger was in the group in front being hit into or the in the group behind doing the hitting.
We can talk getting the course marshalls or pro shop involved all we want but this is precisely one of the problems why non law enforcement personnel might be reluctant to get involved in an issue like this and I bet it's why we see such little pace of play enforcement on the course at any place considered "less" than an upscale muni. A drunk or bunch of drunks can easily turn on the supposed peacemaker and it's the marshall or staff that gets the 6 iron upside the coconut.

I dont see how he could NOT get good jail time. My brother (who at the time was using drugs a lot) got into a fight with another tweaker, and hit him with a dinner plate... The guy didnt even need stiches just a butterfly bandaid, my brother got 1 year for assult 1 year for assult with a deadly weapon and had to serve 20 months of it. It was his first major offense. True he didnt pay extra for a lawyer, but this guys crime is WAY more serious and life threatening, they didnt say if there were any other blows thrown first or whatever, but if he threw the first blow and did it with a golf club to the guys HEAD i would HOPE he gets a few years, people that are willing to do that to someone are sick. If i was really worried Im getting attacked by someone on the course, I might grab a club and threaten them, or if i absolutely had to i might swing at the chest, leg something, but a HEAD shot are you F*#@ing kidding me? The weird part to me was the guys saying in the story "Yeah usually people stop after the 9th hole to get a few beers and there is always arguments about slow play" REALLY? ALWAYS arguments about it? Sounds like a rough course. I guess thats why I dont golf on weekends...

Yeah, using a weapon of any kind usually makes it a "big deal."

I witnessed a minor assault a couple of months ago and the cops were very interested if the perp pushed the other guy with open hands or with closed fists. Because it was open hands he got charged with the lowest level of assault, closed fists would have increased the severity.

    • Day 332: worked on my grip while watching pasta boil. Then did some mirror work later at night.
    • You start pushing forward at P2. You start visibly moving forward at P3. Waiting until the top is way too late, yeah.
    • 100%. I've been guilty my entire time golfing of trying to fit everything imaginable into the .25 second downswing. Sometimes I think it's partly influenced by my backswing length and that if things were slightly longer on the way back, they'd be better synced up on the way down. I also kind of lack a transition. Was doing the practice swing drill today a decent bit where I was feeling like as the club got to the top, the feel of the weight was shifting me forward and initiating the fall into the lead leg. I loved this drill before for this reason and because I need to stop thinking of the golf swing as backswing and downswing.
    • The bold is very late.
    • Angle isn't perfect. Just found my TST alignment stick, so will make sure video angles are better in future videos. Focus right now is lower body and lower body only. If I make a single post here for the foreseeable future about anything NOT lower body focused, I need to be slapped (I will make an occasional note on unrelated stuff I might be seeing). It's not perfect by any means, but there is a decent bit I like about this swing. Lower body is definitely better than it was pre-TST meetup instruction. There are some things that are tough to see I think I'm doing better like where pressure is going into the trail foot and keeping that trail hip internally rotated. Need to keep feeling those. I think I do my best work when the trail leg keeps its flex on the backswing or at most loses a degree. Keeping the flex (but obviously not adding any) seems to help feel like I'm loading the right glute and to keep the hip internally rotated. Not totally sold on this though. I think my work on adding flow during the TST COVID-19 lessons really helped even though its been quite some time. Shift -> rotate -> shift -> rotate. I just need more out of my hips. It's not drastic, but it's everything. I think it will help sync up a lot regarding my swing and more power to boot. Unrelated note: I hate my negative spine angle.
