A tranquil Palm Beach County golf course exploded in gunfire Sunday after a 74-year-old member allegedly shot a man for walking his dog on the greens — as other retirees gawked from their balconies, according to police.
Robert Levine, originally from New York and now living in Florida, is facing attempted murder raps after confronting Herbert Merritt, 64, at the Kings Point golf course in Delray Beach.
Levine was puttering along in his golf cart when he spotted Merritt walking a pooch close to the course grounds, according to a police report.
Levine sped his vehicle up to Merritt and began berating him for the offense before pulling out a black handgun, authorities said.
Merritt took off running and tried to take cover near a course tree while Levine gave chase on foot and squeezed off several rounds.
Merritt eventually went down at the 15th hole after being struck in the ankle, cops said.
