Catch the Spin

Overtake an Angry Golfer

If you play golf it is likely you have been attacked and/or severely beaten on the course by an angry golfer.  Golf outings normally start off soothing and relaxing, but can quickly take a turn for the worse.  Arm yourself with these tips and you can safely overtake someone when the need arises.  

  • As the angry golfer approaches you, be ready for action.  You must always assume they are approaching to do you harm.  Often the angry golfer may approach you with the club raised above their heads in a striking position.
  • Make sudden, fast, wild swinging movements.  Make a lot of noise.  If you have a can with rocks in it shake it loudly while shouting nonsense in the face of the aggressor. 
  • Move swiftly from side to side.  Don’t stand in one spot or you will get struck.
  • Move into the strike and grab the club with your right hand. 
  • Spin the aggressor around where you are directly behind them.
  • Strike them hard in the center of the back with your fist.
  • As the aggressor goes down, deliver 3 strong strikes with the club to the knee or back of the legs.
  • Break the confiscated club in half and throw it far out of reach.
  • Get in your cart and drive to your next shot, and get ready for your next confrontation.
