Sadly, its just another sign of the times......The 'I want it NOW!!!' crowd.  Run red lights because you don't want to wait, pass on the right in the bike lane when someone is turning left, pull out in front of someone when there is at least a 1/2 mile gap after them, only to turn at the next intersection.  Play golf like it was an Internet game with high speed access....me, Me, ME. No, no, no, not you, ME.

Stabbing someone over slow play seems a bit extreme, hitting into them not so much.

Golf is like being married to a beautiful woman that can cook, change a flat tire and never turns you down. But   just for fun she slaps you around in public.

 Well you have to stop and think, at 61 years of age this guy does not have all that much time to play golf before he takes a dirt nap. Geez, just let him though. Using a knife is a little over the top but there were times where our group had a shouting match with the group in front of us that was a hole and a half behind by the 8th hole.

Seems like letting people play through is always a good policy when there's a significant gap in front of your party.

Off topic, but somewhat relevant to current gun control laws just enacted in my state: I just hope that this crime doesn't invoke some "slow play" advocates from saying that all pocket knives should be banned. Seems like some would think the pocket knives are the problem. :-P

Would have been better if one of the guys he tried to stab pulled a gun on him....

That would have been appropriate only if he tried to steal their clubs

What I want to know is . .how does a guy so unhinged that he stabs somebody for slow play make it to age 61 without having stabbed a bunch of people already?  Maybe we should check under his porch. 

 

edit - I always have a pocket knife on me at all times . . but it's not fer stabbin'.

I usually sit in the middle of the fairway with my legs crossed or act like I'm taking a nap waiting on the slow group in front of me.  If that doesn't work I just skip the hole and leave them in the dust.

Our group got held up yesterday(3 ball) by a very slow 5 ball,the course was virtually empty and they had 2 clear holes in front of them.

It took them 3 holes to take the hint from the marshall but during these 3 holes I went 7,8,7.

No stabbings.

Old dudes are crazy, man. They don't give a shit, and honestly I think many of them believe that a judge will say, "Oh, he's just an old man. Here's a fine and don't stab anyone again, sir."

I haven't been in a fight in seventeen years, but on two occasions over the past ten years old guys have initiated confrontations with me. I'm not a big guy at 5'6", 150, so maybe they feel emboldened. But I will flat out whip your 75 year old ass, crazy old dudes.

One other mild confrontation (not one of the above) was at the grocery store. I was buying juice and cigarettes. The cashier has to go to the service area to get the smokes so I was waiting with my juice and this old guy behind me says "You know you can buy those at the service desk." And he's got this angry look in his eyes because I'm delaying his purchase of bread and milk. Yes, bread and milk, like a goddamn old man cliche.

"I didn't know that. Could I also buy my juice over there?"

He looks puzzled, but still angry. "I don't know," he says.

"Then I guess you're going to have wait, cowboy."

Man, he didn't like that. But I think I'll just be polite next time, since I don't want to get stabbed.

I have literally laid down on the tee while I waited.... I've laid down on the golf cart seat multiple times while parked in the middle of the fairway. Neither of those had any effect though. Tonight it took almost 2 1/2 hours for me to play nine holes, but I was stuck behind a HS golf match so there was nothing I could do about it.

The guy should have threatened the slow group with a gun, and claimed to be a cop!  He'd be a hero.

HaHaHa!

I was thinking the same thing.  Maybe they can get that retired Oklahoma fire marshal to be the course marshal.  He draw down on anyone in those slow groups.

Golf is becoming increasingly more dangerous these days.  Gotta pick up a kevlar polo... lol.

I just want to know how the man got close enough to stab someone in the first place. I mean come on, it's a knife, not a sword. I have 14 weapons in my bag that have a reach advantage over a knife.

The victim's friend shouldn't have tackled the old guy. What he should have done is grabbed two irons and went into an Anakin Skywalker fit of dual wielding light saber rage to avenge his fallen comrade.

    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).
