A 65-year-old golfer died at a course in Florida after being attacked with his own clubs in what appears to be a "random act of violence," police say.
Junior Boucher, 36, is now facing a first-degree murder charge after the death of Brian Hiltebeitel at the Sandhill Crane Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens Monday afternoon.
"At this time, it does not appear that Boucher had any legitimate purpose for being at the golf course. This appears to be a random act of violence where Boucher used the victim's golf clubs as weapons and viciously attacked the victim, ultimately killing him," Palm Beach Gardens Police Chief Dominick Pape said at a news conference Tuesday.

So you’ve got to stay aware. The victim tried to get away, but the attacker chased him down.
Pity the victim did not have a defensive weapon. Not everyone wants to carry a firearm. I get that. But then carry police grade pepper spray, and have it readily accessible.
Fox and Sabre are good brands. Both are available on Amazon.
Out for a nice game of golf and some fresh air with friends when a crazed druggie attacks and kills you. What a world.
Does it tell the race of those involved?

No. But from the pictures it appears like white guy vs. white guy.
Yikes!! It’s no kidding when they say golf is a good walk ruined!
Agreed. Golf sucks.
never much cared for golf. one of my favorite scenes in Falling Down was where Michael Douglas storms through the golf course.
of course nobody deserves to be beaten to death with clubs, and we need to start institutionalizing mental patients
Agree!
Sounds like he needs to experience a “random” accident in jail. A really bad one.
Golf is the only game I love. And only game I watch on TV.
Keep football, (please), basketball, and baseball. Although I did enjoy the baseball game my son took me to in Seattle when Ichiro was playing. Son had great season tickets and even a season parking place. And explained what was happening while it was happening.
yeah, this puts new meaning in the phrase: “golf is a good walk spoiled”. A high-powered Taser gun with 15-foot range in his golf bag would have been very useful in this situation. Then he could have given the attacker the shock of his life, and not risk being charged with murder.
“After the attack, Boucher stripped off his clothes and fled into the woods”
Yep, meth or some other chemical(s).....something about ‘em makes the user want take all their clothes off.
Saw it on episodes of COPS on several occasions......weird.

I hope so........I also hope the Trump administration opens insane asylums up again........so many dangerous, crazy-azz people walking the street and popping up on YouTube and TicTok....
Things like this is why I now carry everywhere......and I mean EVERYWHERE.
An example why you should CCW carry a weapon every waking moment. I have had two experiences, one where I had a weapon nearby and fortunately (pure luck) close enough and another where I had a CCW on person, and fortunately did not have to use it.
Next time just let him play through...
Golf club membership declines sharply....
At least they have the death penalty in Florida, and they use it. Executions should be televised and done in public.
Be careful about wishing any additional powers on insane asylums and the enforcers of who is put there. Those powers can just as easily be used against conservatives, gun owners, and religious folks who refuse “vaccinations.”
I saw it first-hand as a cop.
Just treat lawbreakers as criminals, and most of the time the problem will be solved. I’m almost certain this was not the first time this violent offender offended. We are just too lax in our criminal justice.
