I'd Like To See Tiger Do This

Santa Ana, CA

Golf. Such an idyllic game. You can get exercise, fresh air, a gun waved in your face by manic Sheriff's Deputies.

Raymond K. Yi, a former reserve deputy for Orange County and the martial arts instructor for ex-Sheriff Michael Carona, was convicted yesterday of making criminal threats and is faces 3 years in prison.

He was arrested in 2005 at Los Serranos Golf & Country Club in Chino Hills for allegedly pulling his gun and badge while threatening two other golfers. Seems they were playing too slowly and when Mr. Yi hit his ball twice (TWICE! OMG!!1!1!) into their, what do you call it? Green? Purple? Something? Seems that's a major faux pas. I think. The fuck do I know about golf? So they hit his ball out of the way, prompting Mr. Yi to respond in the only appropriate manner.

I've never been a big golf fan. Obviously. I'm more a blood sport kind of guy. If someone doesn't leave the area bruised or bleeding what's the point?

But if you're bringing guns into golf, hell, I might have to rethink this.
