After the pepper spray incident at the Embassy at the Fort in Taguig City, now this, a brawl over golf etiquette, rules, etc. in the enclave and gaming grounds of the rich and famous. I have never played golf and thus, am clueless of whatever rules that must be followed but one thing seems to be clear about all this brouhaha involving a high-ranking government official, the gentlemen's sport is not all played by gentlemen. Actually, before I read about this incident I never associated the word "flights" outside that of airplanes, airports and the clear blue sky and in my driving and commuting world "overtaking" is the norm and does not require prior consent. In the golfing world, it is quite different and driving your golf clubs on a tee without shouting "fore" and "overtaking" a prior "flight" can lead to violent consequences as the dela Paz vs. Pangandaman family saga has shown.
Here's the side of the family who alleged being beat up by the family of the cabinet secretary. To get that of the government functionary, visit the phlippine daily inquirer web site.
As of date, talks of an amicable settlement are floating. Tsk,tsk, tsk...This is what happens when tempers flare and all that power goes into your head.
