The incident occurred on the evening of Aug. 29 when a golfer at San Joaquin Golf Course confronted a man who had reportedly run across the course, according to investigators with the Irvine Police Department.

“The golfer tried to get away in his golf cart, but the suspect caught up, took a golf club from the cart, and struck the golfer in the head,” investigators said. “The suspect then fled the area.”

Information is sketchy but the “confronting” appears to have been done by the guy who ran and attacked the golfer.

Article says the police are looking for him.

Security cam screen shots perhaps?

They said it was from survellience but the chance of having the perp right in the camera eye when he is supposedly chasing a moving cart is a bit of a stretch. And he didn’t look like he was chasing but having a good walk by his body position. I don’t buy it. Seen too many fake ones before. fifteen minutes of fame routine.

I really, really sympathized with his outrage at the fast food place's ridiculous "No breakfast orders after 10:30" while he could plainly see they still had some on the hot table, about to be thrown away.

"Falling Down" is an anthem for all of us who've played by the rules, done what we were told and still get screwed over anyway while being told WE'RE the bad guys.

Theres a lot more to this that we are told.

LOL!

Was he late for his tee time?

If you can’t stand the heat, keep your mouth shut and ignore the scumbag...

I have been involved in at least 3 incidents on the golf course in the last 20 years where I thought there was a fair potential for hands being thrown. Last one was this spring when my buddy’s 16 year old kid went off on a guy who hit his tee shot right into my back.
This news item brought to mind a story that I heard from some work friends a while back. They were playing on a really awesome public course in our metro area that is smack dab in the middle of a very not nice area. They were getting ready to tee off when a couple of “youths” from the neighborhood went strolling across their fairway about 125 yards out. They yelled at the “youths” to get the F out of the way at which time the young man pulled up his shirt to show the gun stuck in his waistband. That is not something that you see on the links everyday.

I did to.

Did a little checking. I’ts very telling to me that 23 years later you still have to pay to stream that movie.

I’m messing with you. I know you didn’t say it was okay.

I always have a can of bear spray when I’m golfing here in Alaska! Frequently there are bears on the course!

Now the animals are stalking golf courses.......

You have to stop, think and plan, you have to realize the truth. There is a reason most if not all police departments have removed the ‘protect and serve’ motto’s from their vehicles, web sites. You MUST take you and your families protection in to your own hands.

Arm your selves my friends, get a CCW, get pepper ball gun, pepper spray, bear spray, carry a pocket knife, a belt knife, be ready and when one of these barely human monsters try to attack you or your family or friends; let them be met by determination, steel or a hail of bullets fired in self defense.

We are a hands breath away from riot and destruction. The left has turned courts in to revolving doors, the woke are trying to de-fund the police and many department budgets have been reduced, public safety has been left to rot and ruin slashed to the bone. You must be hyper-vigilant in the protection of your self and your family.

The lame stream media ignores it and they memory holed it but we must remember, we must band together for our own protection and stand against the bought and paid for tyranny of the the vicious left.
