About 6 years ago I was playing in a tournament at our local course. An elderly guy (Bob) in our foursome, about 65 or so, was well-known to be rather feisty. On the 13th tee a marshall drives towards us and Bob, who wasn't in a very good mood, announces to us that the %&^$#@* marshall better not say a word about our group playing slow because we had been waiting on every shot. Sure enough, the marshall very kindly was going around asking every group to try and play a little faster. As expected, Bob proceeds to verbally rip this poor guy apart. We finally managed to get the marshall away, but Bob continues to fume. A few holes later, on the 16th fairway, this marshall comes up behind us and says something to good old Bob, who is sitting in the cart. I have hit my approach shot to the green and am walking up to mark my ball when I hear shouting behind me. I turn around to watch Bob and the marshall involved in full all-out combat---wrestling, punching , kicking. Two guys in their late 60's goin' at it in the middle of the fairway.
I've seen people get angry about being hit into, slow play, etc. But, this was a classic. The advanced age of these guys actually made it funny. We managed to get them separated and continue the round. Still talk about it every year. (And the week following the incident the guy riding with Bob showed up wearing a football helmet)
