BC golf course fight witness says impatient play led to brawl on 18th hole

From Global News.

It wasn’t just golf clubs swinging on the course Monday at Two Eagles Golf Course in West Kelowna.

A heated altercation between two groups of golfers broke out on the 18th hole and was caught on camera by witness Jennifer Pont, who says the confrontation appeared to be sparked by frustration over pace of play.

“You just do not expect that,” Pont told Global News. “And also the fact that it happened on the 18th hole — the last hole of the game. They couldn’t just hang in there and summon a little more patience. It just exploded in the end.”

Pont explained that the “white shirt group,” who had been moving more slowly, became angry after the “blue shirt group” began hitting balls ahead of them.

The fight quickly escalated into a physical altercation, with video footage showing punches thrown and yelling between the two groups.

Pont, still stunned by the incident, added, “If you play golf, you’ve golfed behind slow groups before — it sucks, but you don’t deal with it with your fists.”
