Think you might find there are more punch ups or near punch ups at golf clubs than you think , was a major court case in north qld over a guy hitting a golfer over the head with his driver . Recently a matchplay at my club at the time erupted with fists being raised. Couple years ago a half pissed member invited me outside because I told him to shut his mouth, every second word was “ faggot” and was directed at a group of members who where most definitely not gay

Many years ago in Sydney Major Pennant a match between two clubs that hated each other was tied 3-3 with the final match going to extra holes.
On the first extra hole one club's player refused to concede a short putt which was subsequently missed so there was an exchange of words followed by both players and caddies in a fight on the 1st green.
They were finally separated but it was on for young and old when both teams got into the locker room, I think both clubs were suspended from the rest of the series.
This one from Sth Africa last year was a doozie, after the club champs one player accused another of being a cheat and a fight erupted.

If the putt was missed it's clearly perfectly OK not to concede it. Shouldn't have been anything to squabble about.

If my opponent had a 3 footer for the win, I would make him hole it too.

Yup, any putt over 6 inches for the win? Sorry bud, you're putting out.
