  I have ;played Greenhorn many times but never got away with only 2 strokes on the 18th which is a 485 yd (gold tee) par 5.

  Hopefully, GHC had a Marshal on the golf course at that hole that might have been a witness - an impartial witness.

  Very distressing story.

  My have a feeling that this story, as released, was very one sided. I've known Mr. Rappleye for 7 years in the school setting and I have never ever seen him raise his voice...let alone show this sort of anger. I did see another report that mentioned the other golfer involved used foul language directed at Mr. Raplleye's wife and I know he adores her. I suspect that is what set him off.

  Seeing that there appears to be an injury to Mr. Rappleye also makes me suspicous. I worked for a number of years as a police officer, and when we had injuries in a dispute to both parties, they were either both arrested or both sent on their repsective way. Makes me wonder about the validity of all of this.

  In a more serious tone...I wonder how Mr Rappley's chin and nose were injured? I do not condone what was done but I do wonder what actually happened. That is for the court to decide not me. I have known Mr Rappley for over 20 years and have never heard so much as a cross word from him or about him. He was one of the most beloved teachers and principals at GHS and is looked up to by his peers. I can only believe that he was either provoked, felt threatened or feared for his well-being. I think I will stand behind and for him for a bit longer.

  [beam] Good one Josh!!! Hahahaha......some of these golfers take the "sport" waaaaaaaaaaay too seriously...........it's like they think they're at the PGA or something....

  What I'm wondering is if he even thought he did something wrong, cuz it sounds like he was just going to go on his merry old way had someone not contacted the law.

  But Jose, think of the stress relief you will receive from wrapping you seven iron around someone's neck. [beam]
