Watch a group of adults playing golf in Lakeland, Florida, argue angrily over playing the game too slowly and the golfers fight video goes viral in no time
Who says there isn’t contact in golf?
A group of grown guys engaged in a heated disagreement about playing the game too slowly while playing golf in Lakeland, Florida. As one of them was seen throwing his golf club to the ground and moving towards another man who was questioning him, one of them yelled, “We can’t go any faster,” and another man could be heard shouting, “We can’t go any further.”
“Bring it b*tch” golfers get into a serious fight in Lakeland Florida course over slow play
Before fists were thrown at Cleveland Heights Golf Club, there was some pushing and kicking. One of the men who were filming was clearly excited as he said, “Dude, we could go viral.” “Bring it, bitch,” was yelled from one man as two other men squared off and began punching each other. One man ended up on the ground after his attempted kick was blocked.
In the end, it seemed the gentlemen may have resumed their argument, but they were probably too worn out to continue.
This year, slow play in golf has received a lot of attention.
When it came to the lethargic play at The Masters, Brooks Koepka spoke up. After finishing second to Jon Rahm in the final round at Augusta National, Koepka was questioned about the round’s play time, which was slightly under 4 hours, 50 minutes. Yes, the group ahead of us was moving awfully slowly, Koepka retorted. We were still waiting even though Jon used the loo seven times during the round.
Patrick Cantlay, an American who was playing in the group in front of him and is infamous for his fast speed, was blamed by many onlookers. For the length of time he takes to line up shots, Cantlay has come under fire from many commentators and fans, who have vented their frustrations on social media.
If golfers start raising their fists in protest at slow play, as the video up top demonstrates, it might significantly increase television ratings among younger viewers. What do you say?
