Man may lose leg after golf club stabbing | News.com.au
A TEXAS man is in danger of losing his leg after he was stabbed with a putter during a fight on a golf course.
Clay Carpenter, 48, said today he was playing at the Resort on Eagle Mountain Lake, in Fort Worth, last month when the course marshal told his threesome to go ahead and play through a slower foursome ahead of them.
"One of the gentlemen waved us up, so we hit up. All three of us hit up," he said.
Mr Carpenter, of Tarrant County, said a man from the other group then came at them yelling and swearing. He had a putter in his hand.
"Things change rapidly, you know. He swings at my head with his golf club, with his putter. Well I stick my hand up. It breaks my thumb," Mr Carpenter said.
The next few moments remain a blur for him, and are the focus of a criminal investigation by the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office.
