Crazy story from a Korn Ferry Tour qualifying event yesterday in Wichita. Here are some of the highlights from the story.

According to police in Newton, Kansas, Luke Smith of Covington, Tennessee, punched the victim in the face and tackled him to the ground during the qualifier at Sand Creek Station golf course.

"He held the victim down until he said 'uncle,' and then released him," Newton Police said in a statement.

Apparently, the guy who was arrested was mad because they were having to spend too much time looking for lost balls and they were in danger of getting a penalty for slow play.

As Fribbs (the third guy in the group) and Dailey were looking for a ball in the left rough on the No. 7 hole, Smith hit his ball onto the green. When Dailey reached the green, according to Fribbs, he told Smith, "If we could give equal effort looking for balls and picking up flag sticks, we might catch up."

On the eighth tee box, according to Fribbs, Smith's father told Dailey, "I'm not here to look for your balls. Just hit it straighter and hit it on the green."

That's when the fight escalated.

The guy who was arrested played collegiately at Tennessee-Martin. Fribbs (who wasn't really involved in the fight) played at Colorado. The story didn't mention where the victim (Austen Dailey) played his college golf.

And we thought golf was a genteel sport.

I remember a high school golf match in NC where a golfer from school A, caught a golfer from school B cheating. A kid from school C did not see it but a golfer who was also from school B did see and talked **** to golfer A. Seeing that the two B's were going to hang together, golfer A hit both of them in the mouth and walked off the course.
