'FORE!' New Britain Man Charged After Golf Course Altercation

Police said the altercation began to escalate on the ninth hole at Timberlin Golf Club in Berlin, forcing officers to intervene.

Golf can be a competitive and stressful sport, but watch out how you take out that frustration.

A New Britain man is facing one count of creating a public disturbance after an incident at the Timberlin Golf Course Saturday afternoon led to a confrontation that quickly escalated and forced police to get involved.

Officers cited 41-year-old Carlos Jiminez, of 347 Stanley St. in New Britain, with creating a public disturbance following the altercation. He was allowed to leave of his own accord following the incident.

Police said Monday that Jiminez and a second man became involved in an argument at the ninth hole and police were called to diffuse the situation. Jiminez was aggressive, police said, but eventually calmed.

The Berlin Police Department reported the following arrests:
