Golfers attack dog walker

[Ethan]

But, why would you make up a story? ?

Nobody said anyone made up a story, but the story, as reported, is clearly incomplete.

So are plenty of golfers!

Have to laugh at those desperate to side with the golfers and find and reason to blame the dog walkers, despite the dog walker being the one hospitalised

Well yes Golfers are part of the general public.
But just because he’s in hospital dosnt mean he was not at fault.
But we need the facts to show this.
One golfer might have shouted at him he fell over and hit his head on the tee block.
Who knows

Never seen so many high horses (on both sides) in one thread.

Ever read the footie thread!

So you condone a member of your club threating to kill a dog? Give your head a wobble!

No I do not condone the guy threatening to kill the dog I was just telling the story about what happened.

Sadly some dog owners do not appreciate how threatened some people feel by all dogs.

Maybe one of the geezers playing four putted, or even five putted, as I witnessed Chrisd do once.
That's enough to make anyone lash out...

This is NOT something to joke about. Ridiculous to belittle this when someone could have died. Pathetic.

Funny though how many want to assume that the dog walker is at fault to some large degree because it could never be the golfers fault solely could it (spoiler alert, it could have been)

One of maybe half a dozen threads I steer clear of.

And some humans dont realise what awful treatment a large proportion of dogs have experienced from horrendous human beings and hence feel threatened by almost all human beings

but you keep telling your humourless story about one of your members threatening to kill a dog having led with a pitiful caveat about wishing no ill before lambasting dog walkers

 

[Backache]

But he didn't

Well we don't really know what the outcome is yet.
When head injuries are described as serious they sometimes are fatal a little later. Let's hope not.

 

[Barking_Mad]

Someone might be facing jail time.

 

[KenL]

But he didn't

So, in hospital with a head injury is fine is it?

Bad stuff happens, often jokes are made about said bad stuff, it doesn’t mean they condone the actions, it’s just a way of dealing with it.

Disappointed that you endorse posts like this.
Edit... he's not "dealing with it", but an individual and a family are having to.

Ken, the post does not break any forum rules, so whether I condone it is a moot point.

Yes a person is in hospital and that is tragic, but it is also clear that there is more to this story, so all we are doing is speculating. Which may not be helpful

Personally dont think it is a moot point, some on a golf forum are condoning the golfer who has put a dog walker in hospital on the basis that "the dog walker must have been out of line" the speculation is vastly on the attacker not the victims side because hes the golfer

But if thats ok for a mod .............

Shut the thread down then.

Shut the thread down then.

I will
If it gets out of hand, which it hasn’t, yet….
