There are just certain types of people you should never fight with, and Nick Tarnasky is one of them.
These days, the former NHL player plays a more relaxing game of golf. At least, that is what it is supposed to be.
Few things are more annoying on the golf course than fellow golfers taking too much time when playing ahead of you. That is why a golfer got so upset at the former NHL player and decided he wanted to throw down.
The unnamed golfer was thrown into a pond and then beaten in the face by a flurry of punches during a dispute on the course.
Some online have speculated it occurred recently in Canada. Unfortunately for the loudmouth golfer, he had no clue he was going against former NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky.
Off the ice to the golf course… Things havent changed.
“He’s either providing words of encouragement, or warning an opponent about on-ice behavior.”
“He has sent that message multiple times,”Cassidy said.https://t.co/h627YplGA0

In the footage below, the guy yells, “Cry about it,” before he calls one of them a “pu–y.”
He then seemed to challenge one of them to a fight.
The irate golfer would charge at Nick Tarnasky and then get shoved into a nearby body of water. That should’ve been the end of it.
The video shows the guy crawling out of the shrubs and trying to keep the fight going, but he ends up back on the ground.
Can you imagine running your mouth at the golf course only to get fed by former NHLer Nick Tarnasky 😂 The Bangs were straight out of the WWE and the guy was warned. Mess with the bull you get the horns! Hockey players are the best pic.twitter.com/2FbJdhh5yB
