What is it with people using golf clubs as weapons?
This week, there is another story about a kid attacking someone with a golf club. The story says some other kids helped lure the victim to a secluded area where the teen carried out the assault.
I know they have the word club right in the name and I’m sure they make great weapons (especially irons) but golf clubs are actually tools to be used to move a golf ball from one position to another. I point this out because it seems evident that these criminals are not golfers and probably qualify as bona fide morons.
Last time, the moron used a driver. This time, it wasn’t reported which club was chosen (at such close range I would think a wedge or putter was in order) but after the attack he threw the club in a river. I don’t think golfers would treat their clubs with such disrespect but if they did, they’d know which club to use. And throwing it in a river? Splashes like that should be reserved for severely misbehaving golf clubs and the pesky ponds or lakes that always seem to get the better of you.
I bet that kid’s mom (or dad) is going to be as pissed about the missing golf club as she is disappointed and saddened by the idiot she raised.

As long as we’re this deep into the toungue in cheek analysis – and I can’t believe you left this one out – it’s pretty obvious why the attacker threw the club into the river…he had a nasty slice !
