Ever been playing slowly and have the ranger come by and give you a hard time? It’s always some old pain in the ass guy who is retired and just works at the course for free golf. Well, the next time you tell your buddies how you’d like to kick his rear as he drives out of earshot, think twice.

The Grand Rapids Press in Michigan reports June 26 that a 72-year-old man named Bill Barnes was scratching off a lotto ticket in a gas station when a sketchy customer tried to pick his pocket.

Barnes had just gotten $300 out of the ATM and Jesse Daniel Rae, a 27-year-old dude, chose the wrong guy to screw with. Barnes reportedly is a former Gold Gloves champ and Marine, and when he felt this scumbag’s hand in his pocket, he started wailing on the guy until it looked like some had rubbed his forehead with a cheese grater.

Barnes, also a retired iron worker, works part-time at a local golf course as the starter.
