"What we've got here is failure to communicate"– Struther Martin as "Captain" in the movie, Cool Hand Luke. Paraphrasing: What we've got here is successful communication... between two louts on a golf course.

Um, let's see....half hour before gametime...10,000 drunkards on the golfcourse making their way toward the stadium in an alcoholic stupor after tailgating since 7 am....good luck finding that culprit...

Too few people recognize that alcohol is prone to cause violent behavior in a significant percentage of users.

Come on annarbor.com at least put up a photo of the correct golf course. Your view is that of Ann Arbor Golf and Outing and not the UM course.
Hmm

You can see a sliver (part of the 16th and 17th holes) of the UM course in the picture. At least they didn't show Forest Hills (the golf course that used to be where Pioneer H.S. now sits.

I've seen this happen on many a golf course when somebody is holding up pace of play.

That's funny, I golf all the time and have never seen a fight on the course. Jawing and hitting into another group maybe, but never a physical altercation. What courses does this happen at?

White? Was mentioning his race necessary?

I think a2citizen is spoofing people who scream racism when the race of a minority suspect is listed.

Jerusalem Gardens played some role in this vicious assault, you can just bet, but I didn't know they delivered to the golf course.

What is the matter with people? Acting like animals. No, really animals are nicer than this.

Why is this particular incident being given more attention than the people who were sent to the hospital from South U and Church? Was this person more important somehow? Sounds like a fight between parties and someone got hit. Are the police actively seeking all of the other assailants as well? And what about the woman who knocked the man and his dog out of the wheelchair?
