The golfer who flew into a frenzy and ripped his shirt off in anger in a now-viral tirade has been banned from the golf course where he erupted.
John Reeb, 41, a real estate agent from Archibold, Ohio, lost his temper after becoming involved in an argument on the court. In an amazing clip, he was shown taking off his polo shirt, Hulk-style, flexing his muscles and challenging his teammates to a fight.
But the 41-year-old, who has an extensive criminal past but is reportedly a talented golfer, may be even angrier now after being banned for life from Crooked Creek Golf Course in Ottawa Lake, Michigan.
The facility’s executive director, Heather Ryan, permanently kicked him off the course because of his disruptive behavior.

The outlet reported that the people Reeb threatened on the track were quick to report him after the tirade.
After being confronted by Ryan, she reportedly kicked him off the premises and told him never to come back. She added that he was also banned from Cherrywood Golf Club, another Ottawa Lake golf course with the namesake owners.
Both courses were notified of the menacing six-handicap player and received photographs of him to ensure he did not sneak up on the links.
Reeb’s suspension could be particularly devastating because he clearly loves the game. A friend told Chron.com that he was an avid golfer who was “obviously having some problems.”
“I saw the video and I think he was provoked. “I played golf with him, he was a good player when we were in high school. He wasn’t like that high school, that was a surprise to me. “Obviously he has some problems,” they said.
“He played a six [handicap]I’ve never seen anyone hit a three-pointer as far as they could. I think he also worked as a groundskeeper at a golf course.”
“He’s obviously struggling with something, which hurt me when I saw the video.”
Foreground! John Reeb, 41, of Archbold, Ohio, was arrested twice over the summer
This summer alone, Reeb was arrested twice for aggressive behavior outside his home
Reeb was quickly dubbed the “Full Hulk Guy” for his shirtless antics and became the punchline of numerous internet memes as footage of his temper garnered millions of views online.
But the angry golfer has an extensive criminal past, revealed exclusively by , including previous arrests for “threatening behavior”.
This summer alone, the 5-foot-10 man was arrested twice for aggressive behavior outside his home — including an incident in which he threatened his neighbor while wearing only his underwear, according to local news reports.
After the July 26 incident, police spoke with both men and Reeb received a minor misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge under the Archbold municipal code.
Just three days later, around 1:15 a.m., police were called to reports that a shirtless Reeb appeared to be chasing a vehicle driven by a woman down the street.
Police located Reeb, but he fled home and did not answer the door when officers knocked. Charges of obstruction of official business and menacing were filed in connection with this incident.
In another recent arrest on July 15, he was also charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly yelling at 48-year-old Keith Perry, an Archbold resident, as he got into his truck early in the morning to drive to work.
The police report said Reeb spit on the truck and then tried to spit on Perry through the vehicle’s open window, according to Archbold Buckeye.
Reeb was then arrested twice more in August, the most recent arrest being on August 10, when police received reports of him allegedly “causing problems with others.” Reeb was taken into custody and transported to the Northwest Ohio Corrections Center. He has since been released.
At the beginning of August he was charged again with a misdemeanor.
His other alleged offenses include speeding in a school zone in October 2007, drug possession in July and December 2015, planning a premeditated riot in 2022 and trespassing earlier this year. He also adds to his long criminal record that he drove under the influence of alcohol in 2017.
Reeb ripped off his shirt and challenged another golfer to a fight in the bizarre tirade that appeared to be sparked over a golf ball
Reeb’s viral craze erupted on the Crooked Creek course back in July. He began the confrontation wearing a green polo shirt, with footage of the incident that began with him being accused of stealing another person’s golf ball.
“You’re going to leave after I give you a damn thing,” he says, holding up the ball.
When another golfer says he’s not ready to “fight” Reeb, it sparks an angry reaction.
“I’m going to plant you, damn boy,” he says. “Now get out of the car!”
He then rips off his shirt and screams as he flexes his muscles before shouting, “You see that!” That’s a guy who was in heaven, bitch. And you want to test God?
“You fucking get it, damn stack!”
But the other golfers have obviously seen enough and finally decide to drive away.
An excited Reeb – now shirtless – then shouts at other spectators: “It was in heaven…leave me alone!”
A worker at Crooked Creek golf course told : “He had started with three different people and we had to escort him away.”
“We told him to leave and not come back.” “The whole thing happened between the 9th and 11th holes.”
