74-Year-Old Golfer Opens Fire on Man Walking Dog on Delray Beach Golf Course, Beats Him with Club

https://www.breitbart.com/sports/20...y-beach-golf-course-beats-him-with-club/

A 74-year-old golfer lost his mind on Sunday when he saw a man walking his dog on Delray Beach, Florida, golf course, but he didn’t just yell at the guy. Instead, he reportedly broke out a gun and started shooting at him. Then he attacked with a club when he ran out of ammo.

So much for golf being a gentleman's game

Was he attacking the man or the dog?

That'll teach Flave to stop runn'n his mouth...

LOLOLOL. Golfers are bigger dickwhistles than bicyclists. I ride my bike past a golf course from time to time and love to blast my music when, fat old guys are putting or teeing off. It's my version of "rolling coal" and it's hilarious.

I bet

Well both Golfers and Bicyclists wear stupid looking hats, so they got that in common.

Sounds like he needs less time at the driving range and more at the pistol range. Practice some shoot and move.

When it comes to the great state of Florida, nothing surprises us anymore. Gators could fly, the Everglades could freeze, and Disney could be cut off from the political teet (OK, that last one actually happened), and we would hardly bat an eye. So great is its capacity for chaos. So long has it reveled in it. And yet we can’t help be shocked by this story out of Delray Beach, where 74-year-old Robert Levine is under arrest for attempted first-degree murder for shooting 64-year-old Herbert Merritt in the ankle after he found Merritt walking his dog along the 15th hole of Kings Point Golf Club just before 7 p.m. on Sunday.

Here’s how it went down according to Merritt.

“Merritt told deputies he was walking his dog on the grass next to the golf course when Levine rode up in his golf cart and … began causing a verbal altercation with him due to having his dog on the golf course … He then began shooting at him while Merritt was running away.

Levine chased Merritt around a tree while continuing to shoot—Merritt said he shot about five rounds at him, according to the report and witnesses … he felt that Levine was trying to kill him.”

According to witnesses, who called the police as the altercation unfolded, the semi-automatic handgun police found in Levine’s front left pocket a short while later wasn’t enough:

“Witnesses told deputies they saw Levine kick Merritt in the head, go back to his cart and get a club and begin beating Merrit with the club while holding the gun in his left hand. Deputies said they found shell casings on the ground and two golf clubs with what appeared to be blood on them.”

Thankfully Merritt survived the ordeal and was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, but clearly this is no laughing matter. You’re not supposed to be walking your dog on an active golf course, but this is a 64-year-old man we're talking about. There were only a few minutes of playable sunlight left. A normal human would let it slide and maybe (and we stress maybe) send an email to the club to keep an eye out for it. Levine pulled out a gun and started blasting.

In a world where there’s seemingly a Flordia Man inside each and every one of us trying to get out, this is proof (and perhaps solace) that there's no substitute for the original.

Hey Paul, I genuinely hope that some golfer sticks a club through your spokes as you pedal away some time. That would be hilarious, too.

Give him a break, he had just stepped in goose poop.

Ummm, no.

The shooter must not have known that there was a dog leg on the 15th.

And didn't care about Putins ammo shortage

OK, some demented guy in a golf cart starts shooting, let’s take a poll.

What would your dogs do?

Mine would be all mouth until the guy opened fire, then they’d be in the next county....

Mine too!

Kinda the way I feel, when some "dog lover" doesn't clean up his dog's crap!
You haven't lived, until you've hit a fresh dog turd with a weed eater!
People are pigs!

About the reverse of a scene from the movie "Falling Down"..

Some people have no idea the golf course is private property and not some public park... or they actually do know but don't care, think they have pedestrian rights. Dog walkers, families strolling around, kids playing, even pushing baby strollers.

They are all dumbfounded when you yell down for them to get off the course from the tee, or flip you off.

If they don't move I just tee up and hit off and let the ball bounce as it may. Odds are slim hitting anyone but you might get lucky.

No need to shoot anyone...

Some dog owners are just as much azzholes as golfers and even cyclists, if you can believe it. We visit the cemetery in Leesbug, VA a few times a year and they’ve had to post signs to keep dog walkers from using the place as canine toilets.
