As I approached my ball I heard someone yell in the distance, “Does anyone know CPR?” I stopped approaching my ball, looked up and saw golfers on the course from various holes all run and gather on the third hole.

I stood on the tee box for around 30 minutes observing the crowd I had no idea what was going on or who the paramedics were attending to.
