Gloriously OT - midweek humor break, ridiculous old dudes fighting on a golf course
Sorry, I am seemingly too dumb to get the media embed to work... here is the link:

I laughed uncontrollably for a good 30 seconds on the failed kick attempt...
It definitely goes against the spirit of the game, but mix in alcohol, drugs, slow play, hitting into players/greens, egos and testosterone and you have a recipe for alot confrontations which can lead to fights. Ask anyone who works at a public course and they will tell you how often the cops are called.
I didn't find this funny. But a few below that video have some quality laugh.
Eh...really its not that funny. Golf by it's nature can be a very frustrating game. No matter how much you play, there is not a person in the world who has ever perfected it. Even a PGA tour pro can shoot 65 one day and shoot 78 the next on the exact same course and conditions. Add in some drinking and a bit of testosterone to this frustration, and you get what's in the video.
We go out to enjoy the game. 99% of the people out on the course have the intentions of doing the same.
I have to give it to the shorter, chubbier guy on the green. Once he realized that hands were going to be thrown, he went into the Ali ring dance, hopping up and down and bobbing back and forth. He wanted the big dude to know that he was going up against a real pro.
I took my wife golfing , she enjoys reading and hanging out.. hole #7 was cart path only. When we pulled up she said " you can't even hit the fairway , how do they expect you to hit the ball on the tiny cart path"..
No disrespect to any Floridians out there, but freakin Florida man... aint a day goes by you don't see or read some ridiculous shit happening in Florida.
Serious question: Are those dudes old or just fat? hard to tell in the video. OP called them old but I think that makes him an ageist. I'm recreationally offended by that. I think they're just plain old fat and I find that funny.
I am too old to be ageist and my gut is too big to be anti-fat... LOL :)
Nutritionally enhanced?
I'm sure alcohol wasn't involved in this altercation. 🙄
The only thing worse than slow play on a crowded golf course is an asshole hitting balls into you on a slow, crowded course.
Sounds like that was the case here.
someone hits a ball into me, I just drive back to the tee box and kindly say “hey just to let you know it’s slow as hell today and you hit your ball into us, please be patient as we’re trying to be patient as well.”
if it happens again I just pick up their ball and put it in my pocket or blast it into the woods/pond. fighting isnt worth it, it’s just a game, but man it pisses people off when they think they drove it right down the fairway just to never see that ball again
I find it hysterical that every jabroni now is throwing low kicks in a fight like they’re a prime Conor Mcgregor.
I’m posting some random shit Facebook churns out every 3 seconds onto a Michigan sports blog! And, it’s glorious!!
I'm guessing that much beer was consumed during that round.
I watched it and after watching it, it made me reflect on just how subjective humor is. I didn't laugh, smile, giggle or chortle, yet the OP laughed uncontrollably. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
