A Saturday morning round of golf in Burnaby turned hazardous and ended with a police investigation.
The Burnaby RCMP says its officers were called to a golf course near Marine Way and Bryne Road shortly before 11 a.m. for reports of a fight between two groups of people.
Mounties say one group of golfers allegedly attempted to hit the other group with their ball several times.
“This began the dispute that quickly turned physical,” said Corp. Mike Kalanj in a statement.
The altercation reportedly led to one woman getting pushed to the ground.
Police say they separated “all parties” and escorted them off the golf course. No one was taken to hospital.
“Several witnesses provided statements. It is unknown if charges will be forwarded at this time. The investigation is ongoing,” added Kalanj.
