Lucas Glover’s wife gets probation

[Wedgie]

So he shoots 78 and gets beat up by his wife. I shoot a 78 I’m probably getting laid. Thoughts?

 

Krista Glover, wife of PGA Tour pro Lucas Glover, has agreed to complete 25 hours of community service and undergo a substance abuse and mental health evaluation as part of a deferred prosecution agreement reached Friday.

 

Glover was arrested on a domestic violence charge in May during the Players Championship in Ponte Vedra, Fla., where she reportedly became upset and "forcefully attacked" her husband after he shot 78 in the third round.

 

Both Lucas Glover and his mother had visible injuries due to the altercation, according to the police report. She was charged with battery (domestic violence) and resisting an officer without violence.

 

Lucas Glover later referred to it as a "private matter" and issued the following statement on Twitter:

 

"On May 12, my wife and mother were involved in an argument to which the police were called. Everyone is fine. Regrettably, although Krista was charged, we are comfortable that the judicial system is able to address what actually happened and Krista will be cleared in this private matter. We thank you for respecting our privacy as we work through this unfortunate situation."

 

Documents from the Seventh Judicial Circuit Court in St. Johns County, Fla. show that Krista Glover entered a deferred prosecution agreement Friday. The terms are for a 12-month probationary period, which will be rendered null and void should Krista Glover violate any laws or conditions.

 

The terms include 25 hours of community service and following any recommended treatment or counseling from a substance abuse and mental health evaluation.

 

Lucas Glover is playing at this week's Desert Challenge in La Quinta, Calif, where he shot 4-under 68 in Thursday's opening round.

Funny!!

Seems really sad to me that a wife would act like this based on how her husband plays golf.  Most of us (I think) would agree that your family is supposed to be the one place you can go for support when the chips are down and the rest of the world is hating on you.  Apparently it's the opposite for Lucas.  Maybe it's just my limited knowledge of the entire situation, but if it was consistent that she was abusive whenever Lucas had a bad round I would have left her a LONG time ago.  No one should have to live like this in his own home.

But yeah, I know I have very limited knowledge of his family situation, so I am sure there are things not reported here that play into this.  Hopefully this situation wakes her up to her bad behavior and she self corrects going forward.  Stand by your man honey!

I hear the pitter patter sound of tiny divorces.........Violence of any kind is totally unacceptable.....quite sad

Did we catch the key tip off of substance abuse?

It’s a private matter between the Glover’s - not for us to decide the right course of action.

Sad story, wish I didn’t know about it.

Admittedly, pretty standard stuff here as far as the plea deal and the conditions. Nothing to see from that perspective.

Good thing he posted a 68.. 

If i got beat up by my wife for posting a bad score, I'd be beat up all the time..
