CHINO, Calif. - An Orange County sheriff‘s reserve deputy was ordered to trial for allegedly pulling a gun on two slow-playing golfers and threatening them at Los Serranos Golf & Country Club.

"When I saw him cock his gun, something fell out and my mouth dropped. I couldn‘t believe this was happening on a golf course," said golfer Marcelo Bautista, 35, a Los Angeles teacher who was playing on the course with his uncle Gustavo Resendiz.

Bautista and Resendez continued playing but Yi followed them, pushed Resendiz and then cocked his gun.

He couldn't believe this was happening on a golf course? He's probably lucky that at the least, he hasn't been hit by someone's drive while he's making all his practice swings.

I want to say Damn Right! Move your asses along or let us play through! I don't have a problem with slow play as long as the slackers step aside and let you play through. First they got to look for their ball, then they got to decide who's out, 12 practice swings, then they drive over to the other guy's ball, another 12 practice swings, top it 50 yards down the fairway, repeat, miss the green, another 12 practice swings, figure out who's away on the green, line it up, plumb bob, practice putt, repeat 2 more times, then dig up the grass around the cup with your spikes because you can't pick up your feet and leave it for the group behind you to find..........AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!

While what the deputy did is not exactly socially acceptable, and he may need some anger management classes, slow play can and will drive you nuts.

1. This is too funny

My apologies to any golfers but this is a riot.

4. What's funny about having a gun pulled on you?

I fail to see the humor in this. This cop needs to be thrown in jail for attempted murder, he cocked his weapon. That's just one second away from death. But hey, maybe it's just me, I don't find attempted murder by a cop over a game to be on par with say, Monty Python, but to each their own I reckon.

6. I didn't consider the seriousness of this

Of course, nothing's funny about someone pulling a gun. You're absolutely correct and I was wrong to insinuate that.

What I found funny was the lengths to which people would go to speed up slow golf play. That was what hit me immediately; the seriousness did not. My apologies.

Edited for typo.

2. I don't mind slow play as much as aggressive jerks in the group behind

The type who will hit into your group from close range even when they have no business doing it. That happened repeatedly this summer in Miami. Twice I whacked the golf ball back in their direction.

3. I've certainly THOUGHT about it...

I can't stand people who think they're on tour then proceed to hit the ball 3 feet. At least when I suck at golf, I'm quick about it.

5. Shoulda shot the bastard

Sorry...I got a freaking kidney stone threatening to pass through my ureter...
