SPARTANBURG, South Carolina - A group of four men went to the Village Greens golf course for a friendly round of golf one afternoon. The game turned vicious, however, when three of them asked the fourth player, Victor Earley, 39, to leave because of his annoying behavior. Early left, but quickly returned in a golf cart to play behind the group and harass them. A fist fight ensued, during which Early swung a golf club at one of the men, Paul Hughes. In retaliation, Hughes pulled out a hunting knife and cut Earley across the chest. Hughes has been charged with serious assault and battery for the offense, and Lt. Ron Gahagan said, The impression the officers had is that they really didn´t like this guy, but they decided to let him play because he is related to one of them in some capacity.
