‘It’s f***ing golf’: Ugly video sickens millions as fight goes viral

Police have launched an investigation into a golf course brawl that has gone viral after one of the sport’s unwritten law was violated.

Golf argument turns into sickening brawl

The shirts are off and things are getting wild on the golf course.

A pair of groups, playing in Kelowna, Canada, began arguing over the pace of play, according to a Reddit user — and it didn’t just stop at a verbal confrontation.

At the beginning of the video, those involved exchanged words and little shoves when a man in a white shirt shouted: “It’s Monday night f***ing golf, you in a rush? Where you gotta be?” to another man in a blue shirt before nearly pushing him to the ground.

That’s when all hell broke loose at the Two Eagles Golf Course in British Columbia, The New York Post reports.

The clip appears to show the fight began like many do on the golf course with one group getting frustrated by how slow a group ahead of them was playing.

It is an unwritten rule that players never hit into the group ahead of them. That rule was broken.

Multiple versions of the video have gone viral with one viewed by more than four million users on X.

The two men began exchanging blows, with the man in the white shirt eventually having his top taken off and being punched to the ground.

Global News reported that man might have suffered a broken jaw.

What appeared to be outside parties began trying to break up the fight as the two middle-aged men continued to brawl.

After about a minute and a half, the two sides separated although tensions didn’t seem to dissipate as some of the golfers were still yelling back and forth through the end of the video.

West Kelowna Royal Canadian Mounted Police is investigating the incident, according to CTV News in Vancouver.

“All parties have been identified, and the incident is currently under investigation,” a statement from the police department read, via CTV News.

“We’ve viewed the cell phone video of the incident and it’s nothing short of unacceptable behaviour. No further details will be provided while we continue to look into this matter.”
