Fairway fury: Jealous Thai man swings into violence, leaving golfer and caddy teetering on the edge in Kanchababuri

[webfact]

 

A jealous Thai man shot a golfer and his caddy at Mae Klong Dam Golf Course in the Tha Muang district in the central province of Kanchanaburi. The two victims are in a coma, fighting for their lives.

 

Officers from Tha Muang Police Station investigated the shooting scene at the golf course and discovered bloodstains scattered across the seventh and ninth holes while two injured victims were rushed to the hospital by the rescue team before the police arrived.

 

During the examination, three discarded bullet shells were discovered near the seventh hole, with an additional four shells found near the ninth hole. The male golfer, identified as 67 year old Kriangsak Chaiwanarom, a retired government official and current golf course manager, suffered a gunshot wound in his right eye. The female victim, Suay, a 35 year old caddy, sustained three gunshot wounds—one in her chest and two in her shoulder.

Playing a-round away from home is always a bad idea...

I thought we'd got through a day without reading of a jealous husband killing his wife. This is close enough, though. Nice to see the culture continues unabated.

Back in the days when I played (golf) there must have been hundreds of guys sleeping with their caddies.

No idea of recent hanky panky but can bet it still happens.

And these two just playing a round not playing around.

Agree. And besides, it was holes in two.

While I do think the title is not good (both in terms of quality as well as appropriateness - puns need to at least make sense) I believe the practice of editing headlines is probably something that is best avoided, just in case.
