Seems like hitting someone during a round of golf would not be good golf etiquette. 😎

Wondering if alcohol was involved.

If they were both over 65, wouldn’t that cancel out?

The Villages is like an old persons cult in many ways.

Or a giant elderly HOA.

Way too weird for most regular people to consider living in.

Sounds like a scene (that could easily have been written in) from Grumpy Old Men

I was thinking of seinfeld in this article

The villages is like living in a massive del boca vista complex full of jerrys parents and george’s parents and all the wacky neighbor characters that live to enforce the smallest of arbitrary rules and eat dinner at 4:30 pm for the early bird specials

I don’t know, good to defend your honor and all.

But dad is turning 80 soon and he’s noticeably lost ability since 77, I’d say by 84 it would be pronounced. If they are anything like normal guys it’s be like an 18 year old hitting an 11 year old…maybe 12-13 yr old.

Apparently, he used his fist rather than his putter, so there’s that at least.
