these guys have every right to be pissed but that doesnt make it ok to threaten violence

Should they get the shit kicked out of them? No. But musicismylife, can you at least admit the kids are being little shits and could avoid any backlash by simply not doing this? Like I said, I'm 20, am a fairly laid back guy, and part of being laid back is not going to purposely fuck up other people's way of chilling. If you were at a show and someone blew an airhorn, would you be pissed, or just say 'oh its just kids being kids'?

Again keeponrockin continues to be the voice of reason here.

And my point was not that the golfers should beat the kids within an inch of their life. I don't have a problem with retribution though, whether that be hitting some golf balls at the kids or chasing after them. None of the videos referenced sound like any of the golfers ever did anything to the kids except break their remote control car or threaten them. Doesn't sound that bad to me.

Instead of threatening violence, should they just furrow their brow or stomp their feet? Please.

sure....why not? it was a stupid prank, I dont condone what the kids did, the guys deserve to get mad but its not ok to swing a piece of metal at anybody, especially something so trivial.....youre one of those guys arent you?

What we see in these videos are the bad apples. I'm sure not every golfer gets mad like that. The ones that let it go or just try to ignore them don't get their videos posted, because that's boring. The pranksters are looking for a reaction, and what we see are the ones who give these kids what they're looking for. You can't judge every single person that plays golf based on what the hot heads do.

If you flip the script and change the setting from a golf course to a Pearl Jam concert, and these kids are sneaking in and yanking plugs out of amplfiers, or blowing an air horn in your ear every time Mike is about to play a solo, I think you would be much more understanding. And I bet there are some fans out there who would try to get physical with the pranksters over it.

I think it's easier to find this funny because it's being done to "rich old white guys", who aren't very sympathetic characters. But they are just playing a game, minding their own business and not hurting anybody. Golf isn't a cheap sport to play, what with green fees (or membership cost) and equipment, and those kids are fucking it up.

I love golf

One thing not yet mentioned-some of these golfers BET large amounts of dough on each hole.
That could have been a $200 swing those teenagers screwed up. Many players also take the rules way too seriously.

In the grand scheme of things, it is a relatively harmless act. But Id be pissed if the club I went to wasn't able to keep the hooligans off the course. Its probably the only 4 hours those dudes have to do something they want to do without business, wives or kids.

and the remote control car one (only one of these i've seen) is clearly fake.

Again none of the punks were hurt or were even close to getting hurt. There's nothing wrong with a golfer yelling he would kick the kid's ass. You said the golfers shouldn't even threaten the kids.

The one I posted? What makes it clearly a fake? I'm not arguing, just curious.

YES THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THESE GUYS BEING PISSED.....I believe I said 'threaten with violence', he clearly swung the club at the kid and chased him down with it

But he didn't hit him. And if he hit the kid, I can guarantee that kid would never think about doing it again.

the point is he tried to hit him and if it wasnt for that youngsters cat like reflexes......he probably wouldnt think much of anything again if that guy cracked him in the skull with a 9 iron

If, if, if....what if the golfer takes out a gun and shoots the guy? You take it to the most extreme. I seriously doubt it would end with a cracked skull.

Since you seem to love taking things to there most extreme, here's some for you: what if the golfer has a heart attack because he gets mad at the punk or because the air horn scares him? You would say, "well it's just kids being kids." What if the golfer in the RC video trips and breaks his ankle? No big deal, you would say. He's a rich white asshole playing golf and those teenagers are funny.

While I would not condone swinging a club at one of those punks, I see no problem if one is caught and detained with a knee to the back and their face in the sand trap until the proper authorities come by...

Sometimes when you play with matches you get burned... If the kid doesn't blow the air horn he wouldn't have to worry about a club to the head either... Too often people forget that their are consequences to their actions... If you are not willing to accept the consequences don't act!

Exactly.
