TARRANT COUNTY One man was stabbed with a golf club shaft after a brawl broke out when the threesome he was in tried to play through the group in front of them at a course at Eagle Mountain Lake.
Clay Carpenter, 48, of Springtown said he is recovering from a punctured femoral artery and massive blood loss.
"People get in arguments every day on every golf course in America," Carpenter said. "But 99.9 percent of the time no one takes it this far."
Carpenter, who was released from Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital on Sunday, said he might have to have more surgeries and is concerned that he could lose his leg.
The muscles in the lower half of his leg atrophied during his recovery and portions of it have died from the lack of blood flow, he said.
"If it does not regenerate it will be no good to me," Carpenter said.
The Tarrant County Sheriffs Department has an active criminal investigation in progress, said spokesman Terry Grisham.
