Eddie Orobitg was arrested on the course and booked into the Lake County Jail on one count of aggravated assault, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said. A Florida dentist was arrested over the weekend for allegedly assaulting another man with a golf club on a golf course, causing serious injuries, including broken ribs.
Police had been called to the Harbor Hills Golf Course in Lady Lake, Florida, on Sunday afternoon after reports that one man was attacked by another with a golf club. Orobitg, 52, was arrested and booked into the Lake County Jail on one count of aggravated assault, the Sheriff’s Office said.
The victim, Dr. Joseph Sivak, claims he was nearly killed in an interview and that the alleged assault left him with fractured cheekbones and his ear had to be sewn up. Sivak said he lost consciousness during the alleged incident and told Fox35 Orlando that Orobitg kept clubbing him.

Sivak said, ‘I almost died, that’s what scared me.’ According to Sivak, he had been walking with his wife down the course path when Orobitg told him he shouldn’t. Orobitg is alleged to have told the former doctor that the path was reserved exclusively for those in golf carts.
He also said that he suffered broken ribs, fractured cheekbones and had to have his ear sewn up after the alleged assault. Body camera footage from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office shows him acting surprised when he was arrested. He asks the deputies: ‘Why are you arresting me, sir? Is incredible.’
Speaking to reporters after the arrest, Lt. John Herrell said: “Things escalated to the point where the defendant used his golf club to hit this guy.” “If they had hit him in the right place, it could have been much, much worse.”

According to the arrest report, Orobitg and his son told officers that Sivak got in his face and that Sivak hit him with his water bottle and tried to remove the sticks. Orobitg’s son told deputies that his then-father spat in Sivak’s face.
Orobitg, a resident of Harbor Hills, maintains a dental office in Leesburg, Florida. On his website, a patient in a testimonial boasts of the “light touch” of the dentist. Orobitg also boasts of helping ease patients’ anxieties, and another claim that he is “incredibly kind.”
He was released after posting $5,000 bail, according to local news site Villages News. It comes after a fight broke out in the middle of another Florida golf course over the weekend after one group accused another of playing too slow.
Golfers at the Cleveland Heights Golf Course in Lakeland, Florida grew impatient waiting for the players on the 27-hole course to keep going. A viral video showed two men in a golf cart approaching a group of four shortly before punches were fired with ‘bring it b****’ shots.
The video shows the beginning of the fight when one of the two men pushes another, which causes punches and kicks to be thrown. It is unclear if any of the golfers involved in the fight were charged or asked to leave the course.
