Golf would tend to be one of the more peaceful sports that provide few moments with the potential to cause a schmozzle.

But one Instagram user was on hand to capture the moment when two golfers decided to drop their clubs and use their fists on a course in Colorado.

Very few punches connected and it appears that once they realised that fighting is a pointless endeavour, they broke up their own battle and shook on it.
