You've heard of road rage, but how about golf rage?
Had to laugh when I saw this on the evening news just now.
Slow play can be annoying, but this guy needs to take up a new sport.

Well, the number one complaint in the sport is slow play.
I guess this is just an extreme example of what slow play can do to some folks.

I'm out at La Costa with a chum. (He peddles high end crap to Qualcomm and makes a bundle.) We're in a foursome with some clowns from Ohio er somethin'. Me chum has to scoot for something so I'm in a cart and the two dunces are in a cart. OBVIOUSLY.
Dumbshits are arguing about the rules every other hole & axin' me about rulings. I'm laughing at the mere suggestion of them thinking I'm getting involved.
Finally the Ohioan pair gets to an errant fairway shot from one one 'em. Ball has a schmutzie (mud) on it. Moron #1 picks up said ball and cleans it, puts it down and grabs a 4 iron. Moron #2 says, You can't do that! Shortly thereafter they broke out in a full fisticuffs. I laughed again. Heartily.
I rolled over to another hole and played another 7 joyous holes solo. That is, unfettered.

Never cared to watch that program but that little routine was worth a couple of chuckles.
Thanks.

Golf rage?
And I thought golfers took up the sport for relaxation...
The "easy pace" and all...

Ya, but, strange things happen when either money, or, alcohol, or both get involved. Mix those with an ego, and, bam, golf rage.
