VIDEO: Don’t hit your golf ball in this guy’s yard; he has a machete

FOLLOW: iHEART | TUNEIN


People who live on golf courses tend to know they could get an errant ball or two in their yard from time to time. Most people handle it well. Some, despite the obvious danger, take exception when a shot lands on their lawn. Then there's this guy, taking it to a whole other level.

A Facebook post on Thursday shows video of a man wielding a machete as he confronts golfers who hit a ball in his (fenceless) yard. He seems unhappy the guys drove their golf cart onto his property or right up against the property line of the course. But the golfers seem shocked about the homeowner's reaction -- as they should be.

Ultimately, there's no violence.
