Yep, a good friend of mine was held up at gunpoint while golfing, in Stone Mountain, GA. Fortunately, one of the other twosome he was paired with, whom he didn’t know, got a pistol from his golf bag and shot one of the teens through the face. Unfortunately, the wounds were not fatal.
Sounds like your friend was being hustled there. The other guy obviously was a lot more familiar with the course.
