Golf course dispute sends 1 man to hospital, 2 others to jail
May 31st, 2010 @ 9:50pm

PROVO -- Golf is known as a gentleman's game. But on Saturday morning in Provo, there were no gentlemen around.

In fact, there was no etiquette at all, as one golfer was taken to the hospital and two others went to jail.

Late Saturday morning, play on the Reserve at East Bay golf course in Provo turned violent over a dispute between two golfing parties about "playing through."


John Black, left, and Brice Williams, right, were arrested after the attacks.
According to Provo police, it happened at the tee box on hole No. 10 where a group thought they had permission from the course marshal to go ahead.

In the end, two of those golfers ended up under arrest.

Police say the two golfing parties started exchanging words, which escalated to a golf driver being used as a weapon.

All of the sudden, police dispatchers got a flood of 911 calls -- including one from each of the two men now under arrest -- asking for help.

Not only did the 41-year-old victim suffer what police said was a hematoma on his back, he sustained a puncture wound and abrasions to his thigh after the driver broke in half and was used as a blunt instrument.

The victim also reported he was punched several times.

John Black, 53, and Brice Williams, 59, were booked on charges of aggravated assault and disorderly conduct.

Police are not commenting about who may have started the altercation or if the victim became physical; it's all said to be under investigation.

There was a much more peaceful atmosphere at the course Monday afternoon, where golfers called the altercation unbelievable.

The pro at the Reserve at East Bay golf course declined to respond to Saturday's incident.

Because of the holiday, KSL could not get an update on the victim's condition.

And it has been an extra long weekend for the two men arrested. They were still in jail Monday night, waiting to see a judge. They'll get a bail hearing Tuesday morning

Good weekend for the Europeans with McDowell and Rose.

Anyone see Mrs Rose (woof woof!) and the wee child clapping his Dad? Class.

And Ricky Fowler dressed head to toe in Orange - must check his Armagh ancestry!

Good weekend for the golfing Brits alright.
On another note Shane Lowery finished top of qualifying for The Open next month.

I'm going to be stationed in Dublin's fair city for a wee while, looking for the handiest driving range if I'm stationed in hotels around the city centre.  I've heard there's one at Castleknock (Elm Green).  Any other suggestions?

There is one across from the airport behind the Ulster Bank beside the Coachman's pub. There are two in the Portmarnock area just off the Malahide Road, one very new one. Take the first right after the Garden Centre about half a mile north of the Hilton.

Yeah the putter looks comical. Hope Karlsson wins. Would like to see him make the Ryder cup team.

The Leader Garrigus stood on the 18th with a three shot advantage, took out a hybrid and knocked it into the water. Went to pitch over trees with an 8 iron, hit it into the trees, made 7 to go into a playoff with Westwood and Karllsson. Westwood had finished ealier and about to head home. Westwood won on 4th playoff hole
