The Stanley Cup Playoffs do not begin for a few more days. Apparently those north of the border are primed and ready for it.
During a Monday night golf league at Two Eagles Golf Course in Kelowna, British Columbia, a pair of golfers threw down in a wild fist fight that left one with a broken jaw and police called to the scene, according to Golf Digest.

The altercation began as one group was not thrilled with the pace of play of the group ahead of them.
"It's Monday night f***ing golf, you in a rush? Where you gotta be?" a member from the 'slow group' responded before pushing the man in the blue shirt.
He was not having it, though.
The person filming the encounter can be heard saying "this is retarded... this is crazy" and eventually asked for cooler heads to prevail.
They did not.

The man in the blue shirt took exception to being pushed backward and began taking swings at the man in the white shirt.
As the two men came to a clench, the man in the white shirt had his top ripped off over his head. The group surrounding everyone attempted to break up the fight, to no avail.
The blue shirt guy, for lack of a better term, landed a few haymakers that could be heard clearly on video. One of them likely caused the broken jaw as the other man hit the ground.
Another fight nearly broke out but things were finally calmed down.
Violence on golf courses have been on the rise, with videos similar to this one being posted all across the internet. But more times than not, there is no harm done.
That was not the case here, as one man required medical attention.
There were no charges filed, though and both groups eventually went their own way.
