Golfers are so funny.

KENT, Wash. (AP) -- A golfer has been sentenced to 1 1/2 years in prison for bashing another player over the head with a 6-iron during a fight over slow play. The 34-year-old man, Nicholas Jay Shampine, had been convicted of assault in King County Superior Court.

At Thursday's sentencing, he said he was sorry, but also claimed he was defending his brother in the clash a year ago between two groups of golfers.

The victim, 45-year-old James Compton, says he still has memory loss and headaches.

the guy's lucky to be alive

or maybe Shankopotamus was swinging the 6 iron

[Dis]

this sport is getting as rough as pro basketball.

Evidently, no caddy with knowledge of this was present. A good caddy would have suggested a 3 iron for the added reach.

Naw a real caddy would have suggested the sand-wedge since it has the most meaty clubhead.
BUT I like your thinking.
