In a self-recorded video, he acknowledged his identity with a mix of humor and humility, referring to himself as “the guy that got dropped like a bucket of balls in a pond.” The altercation occurred at Alberta Springs Golf Resort, where Tarnasky landed multiple punches on Ogilvie before pushing him into the water.
Trevor Ogilvie recently issued a formal apology following a viral altercation on a Canadian golf course involving former NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky. The incident began when tensions rose over the pace of play, and Tarnasky’s group asked the golfers ahead to speed up. Canadian golfer Ogilvie, after consuming several drinks, responded by removing his glove and challenging Tarnasky to a fight—unaware of the opponent he was facing.
The video of him getting beat former NHLer Nick Tarnasky on a Red Deer golf course circulated online earlier this week.
The video shows Tarnasky throwing the man into a pond and punching him saying “bang” after each hit.
“Not my finest moment, I know,” said Ogilvie in a video posted to Facebook Friday. “Played 36 holes of golf, drank way too much and my mouth ran faster than my brain.
“All jokes side, I’d like to apologize to all the folks on the course, anyone caught up in it, and anyone who had to deal with me that day. I lost my cool, and I’ve learned from it. Just one of those days where you should’ve kept the cart on the path, you know. Stay hydrated, keep your stick on the ice, maybe stick to 18.”
Eyewitnesses and viral videos revealed how quickly the situation escalated. Tarnasky physically overpowered Ogilvie, eventually tossing him into a nearby pond. Ogilvie kept charging forward despite being knocked down, while Tarnasky landed a series of punches, yelling “bang” with each one. The fight, caught from multiple angles, went viral across social media platforms and captivated millions.
A sign now stands at Alberta Springs Golf Course to mark the unusual clash. Ogilvie stayed silent for a few days before coming forward to share his side of the story and apologize. In his statement, he took full responsibility, avoided blaming others, and admitted his actions were uncalled for.
His honesty drew respect from many who saw the apology as sincere. Although clearly outmatched by Tarnasky, Ogilvie’s decision to publicly own up to his mistake helped bring closure to an incident that both amused and stunned the broader sports community.
