An aide to Pennsylvania Sen. Anthony Williams Jr., who is also the senator's cousin, has been charged with assault for an attack caught on surveillance camera inside a Montgomery County golf course clubhouse following a round.
Williams Jr., a Democrat who represents West Philadelphia and a portion of Montgomery County, played a round of golf at the Course at Shannondell in Audubon Township last November before fisticuffs broke out inside the golf shop, according to court documents.
The incident was first reported by KYW Newsradio.
The court records say the fight erupted after Williams Jr. demanded a refund for the round of golf. The problem, allegedly, was slow pace of play on the golf course.
After the worker inside the clubhouse refused to give a refund, Williams Jr. could be seen on surveillance video from golf shop, which is where players pay for their rounds, storming off.

Whatever you do, don’t put the pickle on his Mickey D’s burger.
(SMH)...those Amish golfers are at it again. Golf is such a violent sport; after all, it is a game played with CLUBS.
How about NO impulse control, CCg?
Everything in life has someTHING or someONE im MY way ... just like you ... just like everybody.
THIS is not legislative materiel ... bounce him next time around.
As Lee Trevino demanded and demonstrated, “Miss ‘em quick!”
I heard of a sign in the locker room of a prestigious course that read something to the effect of “You can play slow, and you can play poorly, but not both.”
Heads will roll…
Yeah, the “gentlemen’s game.” No wonder they make their clubs private, with large membership fees.
Should have stayed at the Long Knockers Driving Range in Fairmount Park until they learn how to behave.
I did that once. Oh wait, no I played 9 holes then went to the pro shop and DEMANDED (asked) for a rain check and got it. Oh, and it was 3 hours to play 9 holes! But no punches thrown.
