Former NHL Enforcer Nick Tarnasky Breaks Up Golf Fight with Pond Toss
So there’s this wild video making rounds online right now, and honestly, it looks like something out of a hockey game, not a quiet round of golf. The whole scene took place at Alberta Springs Golf Resort in Canada, and it’s quickly become a viral sensation for all the wrong — or maybe entertaining — reasons.
Imagine this: It’s a peaceful day on the course, until tempers start boiling over due to some slow play. According to reports, a group of golfers was frustrated after waiting over 20 minutes for the group ahead to move along. And then — boom — everything escalates. One guy in a Hawaiian shirt, who was apparently part of the slower group, completely loses it. He starts yelling back at the guys behind him, walking toward them, jawing off, puffing his chest — you know the type. He’s acting like he's about to drop the gloves on the fairway.

Well, little did he know, one of the guys waiting behind him was an actual former NHL enforcer — Nick Tarnasky. Now, if you remember him, Tarnasky wasn’t the kind of guy to back down from a scrap back in his hockey days, and clearly, not much has changed. As the Hawaiian-shirt guy keeps running his mouth, Tarnasky calmly says, “You’re not scaring anybody.” And that was it. That line seemed to set everything off.
The shirt guy charges — bad idea. Tarnasky reacts like he's back on the ice. He grabs the guy, wrestles him, and straight-up tosses him into a nearby pond. Just picked him up and gave him a full-on early bath. It looked like something you'd see during NHL fight night. But get this — it didn’t even stop there.
The guy climbs out of the pond, dripping wet, covered in muck, and still wants to fight. Tarnasky, clearly not rattled, throws a few punches and drops him to the ground again. Even then, the guy gets up — one more time — and Tarnasky makes sure he understands the message. Three takedowns later, it’s finally over.
By the time police were called to the course, the instigator had already disappeared. Apparently, he was suspected to be drunk and trying to start fights, which would explain the complete meltdown over pace of play.
It’s one of those rare moments where sports worlds collide — hockey toughness meets golf etiquette — and the result? A viral clip, a soaking-wet instigator, and Nick Tarnasky showing he’s still got those enforcer instincts, even on the green.
