Don’t Mess With Nathan Moore’s Balls

Nathan Moore

GOODYEAR, Ariz. – On March 1 Nathan Moore, 37, was participating in a golf tournament at the Golf Club of Estrella in Goodyear. At the same time, a group of young boy were there collecting golf balls. Somewhere around the 15th hole, Nathan got into a dispute with one these boys and accused him of stealing his ball. The boy, 12, apologized to Nathan and tried to give him his ball back, but Nathan wasn’t having it. He allegedly picked the boy up by his throat and crotch, tossed him into some nearby bushes, and then hit him with his golf club. Nathan then resumed playing.

Moore is denying that he did any of this, but Goodyear police are recommending an aggravated assault charge against him anyway. The boy did not suffer any major injuries aside from a sprained neck, a bruise on his calf and some cuts and bruises. Golf course officials said no one is allowed on the course if they aren’t actually playing, but even so Nathan really lost his temper with this one. A group of Jackass like teenagers acting like dickheads? Sure, understandable. But to let things get this far because some dumb kid picked up your ball?

He should be charged with assault,” said golfer Darel Small. “Whether it’s a kid or somebody else you don’t go around beating them up because he picked up a golf ball .”

Julio Laboy, a supervising attorney for Moore’s attorneys, has stated Nathan did not lose his temper stating “There’s certainly more to this story.” But Jennifer Sprague, mother of one of the boys collecting golf balls with the victim described the boy as small for his age and weighing less than 80 pounds. Moore was arrested for the incident and later released.

    I did this to a kid when he threw a rock at my sister, but I was 14, the kid was like 9 and my sis was 8- minus the golf club. But for an adult to do it, with no moral standing besides “I think that’s my golf ball”- nope. Charge him and put him behind bars for a month or so. And if this was my kid, police would have to lock me up. Golf clubs hurt, by the way.

    He looks like a douche who would beat up anyone smaller than him. That’s the general feeling I get from his mug.

    I agree completely. I understand that a group of teenagers can be obnoxious, but come on…..adults don’t pick up kids and toss them. What a dick…

    You know, if the kid was actually stealing balls from players, or talking mad shit, then I would give the guy a bit of leeway. It’s not like Nathan tried to beat the kid to death or anything. But if this kid apologized and tried to give the ball back, or actually looks 12, then there really isn’t any excuse for Nathan putting his hands on the kid.

    That still doesn’t give him the right to put his hands on a child.. Not all kids out of control and it said the little fella apologized so it doesn’t sound that he was that bad of a kid.

    Kids often walk around looking for balls on a golf course, I see adults do it all the time The lost ball was going to cost strokes to our lousy golfer that’s why he went after the kid.
    He was probably having a bad day and losing the ball would add stokes to his already bad game, and golf can involve some pretty serious money bet on the side not to mention pride and club bragging rights, I bet the ball was off the fairway in the rough somewhere and this lousy golfer was pissed about his shot and took it out on the kid. If I’d seen him beating the kid, I’d be the one getting arrested

    He’s a SNOB…pure and simple. Snobs look down on others not of “their class” and consider them unworthy of human social civility. When the boy apologized to this sour puss, the apology was just a confirmation; a justification to ‘punish’ the brat. This jerk needs counseling to educate this fart on the Constitutional rights of all citizens, which by the way, state that all [men] are created equal (God’s Law). The mug up there is the face of outright indignation: “How DARE they bring me in here and treat me like a common criminal… I’m a somebody damn it!”

    Well I guess It’s ok to say if I catch you or Nathan in the vicinity of any children related to me, I’m beating ass just in case.

    Maybe I’m not feeling very diplomatic this morning, but jury, this is a seriously stupid statement. I mean really, really, really stupid. You chastise us for “not knowing the whole story,” yet you are using the blanket statement “these brats today are monsters” to justify this guy’s behavior. Only problem is, uh…we don’t know the whole story. And you certainly don’t know this kid.

    How about this? These douchebag golfers today are monsters.”

    Wow! It’s that simple, folks!

    Personally, I would give the benefit of the doubt to the 12-year-old kid, not some grown dickhead with a hair-trigger temper.

    Hey, everyone! In honor of our resident preteen-assault condoning friend Jury, I have a great idea…everyone should go out today and find some brats engaging in loitering and/or other shenanigans and then beat them over their heads with their own skateboards until they learn their lesson. The lesson being, all kids are monsters. Time to atone for the sins of your peers, kids-on-those-damn-skateboards!

    Then for good measure, when they are writhing on the ground in pain, piss on them. That’ll show ‘em.

    Whaaa? You’re not making sense. He only made 2 comments. I don’t think he’s trying to incite a riot. I think he’s just trying to be an asshole. If he was trying to incite a riot, he could’ve said something along the lines of:

    Too bad he didn’t put the little bastard in the hospital I know if it were me, I would have. Shit, you don’t take golf balls from me and expect nothing to happen to you.

    Maybe i should’ve said that instead. Ehh, next time. I wanna be called a troll next.

NOW my whole family works with JUVEES and they are punks and they desperatley need a beating but once again you are not allowed to, so Jury i understand where you are coming from but once again it all comes from the home life where they should be taught to RESPECT others and maybe these children were not taught that so hang in there and don’t listen too much what the others are saying to you

    Sigh…you know, when I read crap like this, where someone is calling someone else “stupid” because they are pissed off said person challenged them on a message board, it makes me feel kind of petty, and compelled to point out the irony in calling someone else stupid when they can’t even get the “your” vs. “you’re” thing right, which should have been fucking clear as hell after the fourth grade.

    But like I said, that’s petty. Jury’s real problem is not an inability to spell. It’s the fact that Jury looks at that douchebag’s photo above and says, without a hint of irony, that the douchebag is a “hero” for BEATING A KID WITH A MOTHERFUCKING GOLF CLUB for messing with his “precious balls.”

    For the record, I don’t think Jury is a troll, and biteme is frequently an asshole to those he disagrees with. But Jury’s comment this time is egregious enough that I actually find myself kind of agreeing with biteme. That’s quite a feat, jury.

    Maybe a little prison time for assault would do Nathan Moore some good. More than likely, he’ll find out real quick what it’s like to be physically assaulted by someone literally twice his size.

    You know, it’s funny….you don’t see too many skinny, pussy-ass motherfuckers with roid rage. Nathan, you’re truly special. And with any luck, you’ll get to be Bubba’s “special” friend real soon.

    I do, however, have to agree here. I have a 12 yr old son and he is NOT a punk, but I could see him doing something like this with his buddies not thinking anything of it until some crazed adult freaked out at him about it at which point he would most definitely try to apologize and give the idiot his ball back. If this had been my son, though, we’d be looking at someone else’s mug shut. Just sayin’…..

    I will admit I dont know much about golf, so I am not clear on why they were collecting golf balls anyway. Personally I think its bullshit that this asshole decided to take it upon himself to assualt a 12 y/o boy. He doesnt sound like much of a punk ass kid if he tried to apologize and give the ball back. If it were a matter of the guy playing in a high stakes game, wouldnt there be some kind of game monitor person he could have had the incident reported to and gotten another stroke with no penalty or something???

    Great strawman, Jury. I never said anyone should think I’m great for my spelling skills, nor did I even imply it. I was merely pointing out that if you’re going to call someone else stupid, it might be best to keep the spelling mistakes to a minimum. It diminishes the power of your statement. Personally, I don’t think your statement had much power anyway though. It just came off like you were grasping at straws. Which is understandable — it’s kind of difficult to defend aggravated assault against a 12-year-old, but I have faith that if you keep trying, you’ll find something that works.

    Then we can all make pretty cards with glitter and shit to cheer Nathan up in prison after he has his hole pounded by his bigass cell mate.

    Nathan, you hero you! It takes a REAL MAN to beat the shit out of a particularly scrawny preteen with a golfclub. That’s a fair fight all the way, and don’t let anyone else tell you different. You go on with your bad self, Nathan!

    Yeah, I can totally see where you’re coming from Jury. This guy Nathan Moore is seriously fucking awesome. Let’s give him a god damn medal while we’re at it.

    If it had been an adult Nathan wouldn’t have had the balls to do anything. The fact that it was a kid does make a difference whether he stole the ball or not because Nathan should have just reported the incident to the golf Marshall. The fact that he beat the kid shows you that he took matters into his own hands and is a coward on top of that. You don’t beat the hell out of someone for anything except self-defense or in the defense of another.

    Ok guys settle down. Some golf courses pay kids to walk around and pick up stray golf balls. That could have been the case here. The kid apologized and tried to return the ball. There was obviously no ill intent and thus NO REASON to get the shit beaten out of him.

    Hate to see how he would react if you touched his ping pong balls.
    Lord forbid if you picked up his volley ball.
    Never look at his soccer ball.
    A baseball don’t even ask what he would do.
    His tennis balls are golden.
    Don’t you hate it when a guy is obessed with his balls.

    I just want to throw a dog licked fresbie up side his head.
    Poor kid too bad he crossed the path of a baller or I mean Nat the ball less.

    IMO, I think the authorities should charge him with, not only aggravated assault, but endangerment to a child. If he doesn’t spend time in prison, he should receive anger management classes, then they should take away his golfing privileges and his balls….

    I hope the parents get an attorney, pro-bono, and sue this AssHat, and part of lawsuit would take all of his golf clubs!!!

    KiI bet the ball was off the fairway in the rough somewhere and this lousy golfer was pissed about his shot and took it out on the kid.

    Bingo!

    And for those of you who were suggesting to look to the golf marshall to set things right, unless it is an actual tournament, golf does not involve anybody besides the gentlemen playing. You need to be able to trust that the other player will not cheat, and for a situation like this one would need to “drop” the ball. “He moved my ball” might easily lose Mr Moore a shot or two.

    There is still no way this was right.

    Yeah… I’m sorry, but I don’t care how fucked up “kids are these days”. If you’re going to viciously assault a kid, you’d better have a damn fine reason. A kid stealing a golf ball is certainly not enough, even if he DID talk some shit (which we’ve got no reason to assume happened).

    This guy lacks self-control, plain and simple. Let’s hope an assault charge helps him adjust his behavior, a bit.
