UPDATE: The Monster Who Beat The Absolute Brakes Off That Fella On The Golf Course Was None Other Than Former NHL Enforcer Nick Tarnasky

Over the years there have been more and more fight videos popping up from golf courses across the globe. The game has expanded way too much, and now every walk of life is out there playing golf. It used to be a game for gentlemen, but now it's become a game for degenerates who are 6 transfusions deep on the front 9, have lost 2 sleeves of MaxFli's, blaring the worst rap music you've ever heard on their bluetooth speakers, untucked shirts, and taking 5 hours to play 18 holes. Naturally it's going to lead to a lot of fights out there. 

Out of all the fight videos to come out of the game of golf over the years, this has to be the most lopsided. Most of the time in these fights, both sides come out looking like complete and total losers. But in this particular fight, ol' black shoes decided to bark up the wrong tree. It's never a good idea to instigate a fight with a dude who is twice the size of you. I don't care how much heart you have, the laws of physics usually play out in that one. 

ESPECIALLY if the dude who is twice your size is a former NHL enforcer. 

Nick Tarnasky played 245 games in the NHL. He racked up 297 career penalty minutes during that time. Like most enforcers, he did most of his damage in the AHL. He played 486 games in 9 seasons, and put up a staggering 881 penalty minutes in his career. His career +/- in the AHL was a -76. Moral of the story is that this fella was out one the ice to do one thing, and one thing only--beat the piss out of anybody wearing a different jersey than him. 

He wasn't a hockey player who fought occasionally. He was a fighter who sometimes managed to play ice hockey. He was bashing dudes skulls open while he was skating on a sheet of ice. Do you really think he was even going to break a sweat having to beat the shit out of some nerd while standing on foot?

So let this be a lesson to all the guys out there who have a short fuse, and have had too much to drink--if you're going to challenge a guy to a fight, maybe do your homework first. At least figure out his name and do a quick Google search. You might think you're just fighting some random massive mutant who was going to kick your ass anyway. But next thing you know, you're dealing with a guy who was legitimately a professional ass kicker. Check the game notes, bud.
