The best part of this story...the dude was charged with "mayhem"!  I love that.

That's what I call really "giving someone the finger"............

I've played that course. Its a little par 3 track, couple of 4's, running through some cranberry bogs in Carver MA. They do have a bar, not I think alcohol played any role in this.

I just saw the story and this is -- word for word -- almost exactly what I was going to say.

Hmmm eye for an eye, finger for a....  I would want more than "mayhem" charged...

There's likely only a limited number of checkboxes for the officer to use. LOL

Adds a whole new meaning to pull my finger....wait...he didn't pull it, he bit it off!

The guy whose finger got bitten off needs to find a new foursome!!

Charged with Mayhem, love it.

I can imagine it now. "What are you in here for?"

"Armed robbery, what about you?"

"Im in here for Mayhem"

"Holy crap, stay away from me you crazy psycho!"

I wonder what kind of sentence "mayhem" carries with it? Is there felony mayhem or is mayhem just a misdemeanor?  😜 

I recently got a slap on the wrist by my mens' association because I called a guy a sandbagger and he complained I was being mean to him (true story). At least he came away with all his digits, it could have been worse!

I didn't realize that Mike Tyson even played golf...

And being new to golf I thought this was a non-contact sport.....😊

I would think "Assault" would qualify.

Battery. Assault is the threat. Battery is the contact. 

[mcanadiens]

Oh. Like none of you have ever bit or been bit by anyone?

Clever bunch.

You lot must lead mayhem-free lives.

Threatening someone is assault?  I thought assault involved physical contact.

[dennyjones]

battery:  the crime or tort of unconsented physical contact with another person, even where the contact is not violent but merely menacing or offensive.

assault: an act, criminal or tortious, that threatens physical harm to a person, whether or not actual harm is done.
