A golfer was pummeled and thrown into a pond during a wild on-course brawl, video posted to social media shows.
The fight, which according to TMZ happened Friday at the Alberta Springs Golf Resort in Alberta, Canada, was seemingly sparked by a group of golfers annoyed by the slow pace of the group in front of them.
“They’ve been sitting there for 23 f–king minutes,” one golfer in the group behind said.
Those words seemed to have lit an inferno inside a man in a Hawaiian shirt, almost ready to tee off.
He began to throw obscenities at the people watching him take his sweet time, delaying everyone else. His voice got louder every time he spoke to the other men.
The guy in the Hawaiian shirt began to walk slowly toward the other group of people. He then stopped very close to the other men and kept verbally harassing them.
He dropped his gloves almost like a hockey player ready to fight. But nobody came to challenge him at that moment. That is, until one of the guys waiting — speculated to be former NHL tough guy Nick Tarnasky — told the already angry man, “You’re not scaring anybody.”
When those were said, the angry man began to charge at the group of people.
The alleged ex-hockey enforcer grabbed the guy in the Hawaiian shirt and gave him an early shower as he tossed him into a pond nearby.
While that seemed like the end of the scuffle, to the surprise of many at the golf course, it wasn’t
The now-wet man trudged out of the pond covered in pond gunk and tried to keep fighting.
The former pugilist held his ground and landed three punches into the guy’s head. The man in the Hawaiian shirt was then pushed to the ground.
It took a third time meeting the ground for the guy in the Hawaiian shirt to get the message, and finally, the fight ended.
Canadian police told TMZ that officers responded to the scene after reports of an intoxicated person trying to start fights. The suspect was gone by the time officers arrived, according to the report.
