Hockey fight breaks out on a golf course in viral clip appearing to feature ex-NHL enforcer

It's even worse when they might have had a bit too much to drink and become stubborn and argumentative.

But in a clip that has gone viral on social media, one player exhibiting all of those irksome traits messed around a bit too much and found out the hard way that perhaps they need to rethink their on-course behaviour.

And the person that they squared off with clearly had some previous experience, handling themselves as if they've dropped the gloves more than a few times on the ice.

The two-and-half-minute long clip, which was posted to reddit by user YEGG35, shows the argument beginning with a large man in a white shirt arguing with two other golfers off to the side of a tee box on a cart path.

The man in white accuses the two men in front of him – one in a black-and-white patterned shirt and shorts, the other in a light shirt and a hat – of taking far too much time to tee off at the hole.

'Let's get going,' the large man is heard saying to the two, 'Or you can play behind us all and you can take all the f****** time you want.'

The cameraman then insinuated that the other two have perhaps had too much to drink.

'You guys can't even stand and tee your ball up,' he says as the man in the patterned shirt approaches the tee box, appearing to struggle to place his ball.

'This is f****** bulls***,' the large man is heard saying. 'He's been sitting there for 23 minutes!'

That's when the man in the tee box seemingly gets triggered, standing up and walking towards the group and telling them to 'Go cry about it.'

Insults and threats fly between the man in the patterned shirt and the larger man in white before the first golfer charges at him.

It doesn't end well for the slow player, who ends up being easily roughed up and tossed into a nearby water hazard.

After he gets back up, he again comes at his foe to disastrous results.

The man in white grabs him by the shirt and lands two punches to his face – yelling 'bang!' for dramatic effect as he sends the first man to the ground.

Seemingly not content with the damage received, the slow golfer stands up and again comes at the large man, only to be greeted by three more punches and three more 'bangs.'
Article content
After getting back up off the ground again, the larger man then proceeds to toss the first man several feet through the air and down a hill.

At this point, the first man's friend steps in to keep his buddy from any further suffering.
Article content
It is unclear at which golf course the incident occurred, but several commenters believed that the parties involved all were Canadian, judging by their accents.
Article content
According to several posts on social media, it's alleged that the man dishing out the hits is none other than Nick Tarnasky, who played five seasons in the NHL from 2005-10 and racked up 297 penalty minutes in 245 career games with the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers.

Mass shooting at Manhattan skyscraper leaves 5 dead, including gunman
A gunman armed with an assault-style rifle killed four people inside a Manhattan skyscraper that houses the headquarters of the NFL and offices of several major financial firms and then shot himself dead, New York City officials said on Monday. One of the four victims slain in the gun violence was a 36-year-old New York Police Department officer who immigrated to the U.S. from Bangladesh. Mayor Eric Adams described the officer, who had been on the force for about 3 1/2 years, as a "true blue" hero. Authorities offered few details about the three other victims killed by the suspect — two men and a woman. A third male was gravely wounded by the gunfire and was "fighting for his life" in a nearby hospital, the mayor said. New York Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the gunman, identified as Shane Tamura, 27-year-old Las Vegas resident with a history of mental illness, had driven cross-country to New York in recent days. The gunman was believed to have acted alone, and investigators had yet to determine a possible motive for the shooting, Tisch told reporters at a late-night news briefing. "Pure evil came to the heart of our city and struck innocent people and one of our police officers who were protecting those people," Patrick Hendry, president of the Police Benevolent Association, said at the news conference. Slain policeman a father of 2 The slain policeman, Didarul Islam, a father of two whose wife is pregnant with a third child, was working at the time as part of an NYPD program that allows its uniformed patrol officers to be assigned as security detail in commercial establishments. The shooting spree in the evening rush hour began in the lobby of the Park Avenue tower in Midtown Manhattan, then shifted to the upper-story offices of a management company as the suspect took the elevator to the 33rd floor. The bloodshed came to an end when the gunman fatally shot himself in the chest, Tisch told reporters. A photo of the suspect that CNN said was shared by police showing a gunman walking into the building carrying a rifle was published by a number of major news media outlets. Preliminary checks of the suspect's background did not show a significant criminal history, the report added, citing officials. The skyscraper at 345 Park Avenue houses offices of a number of financial institutions, including Blackstone and KPMG, along with the headquarters of the National Football League. A large police presence converged on the area around the tower, according to Reuters journalists near the scene. "I just saw a lot of commotion and cops and people screaming," said Russ McGee, a 31-year-old sports bettor who was working out in a gym adjacent to the skyscraper, told Reuters in an interview near the scene. Kyle Marshall, 38, was working at a Morgan Stanley office in a nearby Park building when his mother texted him, alerting him to an active-shooter incident, and asked if he was OK. "Then she texted me the address, and I was, like, 'Oh my God. That's right next door to my building," he said. Police kept Marshall and others inside that property on lockdown until after 8 p.m., he told Reuters. Marshall lives in the San Francisco area but comes to New York about once a month for work. "It doesn't make me feel less safe to be in Manhattan," he said. "The police responded quickly."
