According to an Oakland County Sheriff's Department incident report, the two men were acquaintances and part of a foursome. Witnesses confirmed to deputies that the attacker, a 59-year-old Oakland Township man, broke a golf club over the West Bloomfield man's arm, then used the broken club to stab the injured arm, after the West Bloomfield man asked about a score on a previous hole. 

The report said that two other members of the foursome held the Oakland Township man down, while the West Bloomfield man drove toward the clubhouse in a golf cart. The Oakland Township man broke loose, drove away in a second golf cart, and left the area in his car before deputies arrived. 

The West Bloomfield man was treated at the scene and went on his own to an Urgent Care facility, where he received stitches. Deputies contacted the other man, but he refused to talk about the incident, the report said. 

According to the report, deputies found half the broken golf club, a Callaway 5 iron, on the golf courseand the other half in the Oakland Township man's golf bag. He may face a charge of Felonious Assault.
