Former NHL tough guy Nick Tarnasky found himself swapping slap shots for sucker punches at Alberta Springs Golf Resort. The scuffle started when Trevor Ogilvie, fueled by booze and a burning dislike of slow play, charged at Tarnasky like a tipsy bull at a cocktail party. Tarnasky responded with calm, professional violence—launching Ogilvie into a pond and delivering a flurry of fists reminiscent of a penalty box brawl.

A few days later, Ogilvie popped up online, damp but apologetic, offering a video where he admitted, “Yep, I was that guy”—drunk, belligerent, and about as welcome as a divot in your putting line. His apology mixed remorse with self-deprecating charm, proving that while dignity may sink, humour floats.

“Played 36 holes of golf, we drank way too much and my mouth ran faster than my brain.”
