A golf outing between two friends turned violent when Richard Randell, 77, allegedly punched his 84-year-old playing partner in the face, leading to an arrest on a charge of battery on a person 65 years or older, according to Sumter County deputies.
Randell later entered a plea of not guilty, according to court documents filed in late May.
According to the arrest affidavit, the skirmish happened April 29. Deputies say a third member of the golf outing witnesses Randell and the other man arguing on the fourth hole. The man says it wasn’t uncommon for the two to bicker.
As things escalated, the 84-year-old man flipped off Randell, who then said: “Do that again, and I will hit you,” according to the affidavit. The friend did it again and Randell reportedly then punched the man in the face.
The 84-year-old fell to the ground and deputies say he then had to be taken to the hospital, where it was reported he had a bruise on his face.

Should this sort of special charge really apply when the batterer is 77 himself?

Damn....just let the two old bastards settle their differences. No need to involve the law. Pitch the bird flipper a sack of frozen peas and call it a day.

They grew up when men fought. I agree the special charge because one of the was over 65 shouldn't apply when the other one was 77.

It sounds like the “victim” knowingly entered a verbal contract.

Cmon man! That charge is there for charging young people who abuse the elderly.

In college I worked at a public golf course. Every Tuesday or Wednesday the "Men's Club" would play. Now, the minimum age to be in the club was around 65. The average age was probably close to 70. Many of these guys could barley walk. Damn near all of them walked with some degree of a limp.
They would pick teams and gamble on each hole. "Gamble" in the sense the bet on each hole was about 50 cents. The winning team would usually take home a pot of about $30.00, total, to be split 3 or 4 ways. However, you would have thought they were betting $50,000 a hole with the amount of bickering, bitching, and fighting they did amongst themselves. Every round ended with some type of argument and accusations of cheating. EVERY.SINGLE.ROUND. About every 3-4 weeks I'd get called out on the course to break up a potential fight. Mostly just pushing and shoving. One old man who could barley walk pushed another old man with a steel rod in his leg on an elevated green, which caused him to fall and literally roll down the green before coming to rest 15 yards away. There were always threats of "I'm going to wrap this club around your head" or "I'm about to stick this putter up your arse!" ALWAYS.
Ultimately, after arguing in the locker-room post round for 30 minutes, they would revert back to talking about who among them had the biggest/littlest dick, and which of them was now banging some 68 year old widow. On the one hand it was pathetic to watch these old men get so damn angry over $1.50. On the other hand, I kind of envied them. They had lived good lives to the point were their biggest worry of the day was arguing to the point of great bodily injury over literal pocket change before eventually laughing about someone little dick.
It was during that time I learned our life span is an arch. We peak in our maturity around 45 or so before gradually regressing back to child-like behavior.
