Thanks all for your concern. I’m Okay. I’m not the Utahn stabbed for slow play on the golf course.

My email, Facebook, and Twitter are lighting up with concern from around the world. I’m thankful to have so many friends in the golf industry. Apparently the big news the last couple of days is that a golfer was stabbed here in our lovely state, an incident involving slow play.

So speed it up!

The golf course was Payson Golf Course, a course which isn’t close to me. I’ve never played it. Probably never will now. This is from the Salt Lake Tribune:

Payson • Police say a 61-year-old Utah man is accused of stabbing another man for golfing too slowly.

KUTV reports that the man and his wife were golfing Saturday night when they got into an argument on the course with other players.

Payson police said the couple thought the group was going too slowly and wanted to play ahead of them.

The man reportedly used a pocket knife to stab another man and was wrestled to the ground by another golfer after the couple encountered the group again near the ninth hole.

The victim had a small cut and was taken to a hospital for the non life-threatening injury

One response to “Thanks all for your concern. I’m Okay. I’m not the Utahn stabbed for slow play on the golf course.”

People act like children sometimes, for shame!
