Last summer, golf fans went coocoo for Cocoa Puffs over a video of former NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky tossing a drunk man into a pond following a dispute over slow play. The video went to the moon and back (yes really, Bryson) as Tarnasky’s cries of “bang! bang! bang!” while punching his adversary echoed throughout clubhouses across America. Now, at long last, we have a worthy sequel. We hope you brought your bathing suits, folks.

Despite the caption, as soon as we saw the water hazard and flaring tempers, we all knew how this was going to end. After some standard fisticuffs, the golfer in the blue polo is pushed into the water. He then grabs his assailant by the collar and yanks him into the pond with him. They scuffle briefly before blue polo guy appears to hit the black polo guy with a vicious right hook. Black polo guy goes down and here’s where things get, ahem, murky. It appears from a distance that the blue polo guy loses what’s left of his mind, climbs on top of the black polo guy and continues striking him as he holds him down in the water.
“Carson get over there!” a woman standing near the golfer filming shouts. “He’s gonna drown him! Dude, he’s holding him under. Everybody is filming, nobody is helping.”
Around the same time, a golfer involved in the scuffle realizes that things have suddenly escalated way too far and can be heard yelling “Stop! Stop!” at the golfers fighting in the water. Perhaps thanks to the urging of their friend, or maybe the refreshing dip, the pair slowly come to their senses, let go of each other’s the throats and make their way to dry land

Details are scant apart from a title reading “Edgewood,” implying this incident took place at Edgewood Tahoe, the site of the annual American Celebrity Championship. Whatever the case or the cause, however, let this be a call for cooler heads to prevail on the course this summer … ideally without being dunked underwater first.
