EXCLUSIVE: 'I've never seen someone hit a three wood as far': Full Hulk Guy - who was arrested twice
A middle-aged man who went berserk over a golf ball is a talented golfer who played off a six handicap while in high school, a friend has revealed.
John Reeb, 41, from the tiny village of Archbold, Ohio, went viral after the astonishing clip showed him tearing off his shirt Hulk-style, flexing his muscles and challenging fellow players to fight him over the ball.
DailyMail.com can now reveal that Reeb, who has an extensive criminal past, is a keen golfer who played off a six handicap in high school and is known for striking the ball with power.
A friend of Reeb told DailyMail.com: 'I saw the video, and I believe he was provoked. I’ve golfed with him, he was a good player when we were in high school. He wasn’t like that high school, it was a surprise to me. Clearly he is having some issues.'
He added: 'He played off a six [handicap], I’ve never seen someone hit a three wood as far as he could. I believe he also worked as a groundskeeper at a golf course.

Fore! John Reeb, 41, from Archbold, Ohio, was arrested twice over the summer
‘He’s clearly dealing with something, which hurt me when I saw the video.’
The video that went viral this week is fast becoming a meme, with Reeb dubbed 'Full Hulk Guy' after it racked up millions of views online.
This summer alone Reeb has been arrested twice for aggressive behavior outside his home.
This included one incident where he threatened his neighbor while wearing only underpants, according to local news reports.
Reeb had been playing golf at Crooked Creek Golf Course in Michigan in July when the incident happened.
The golf course confrontation begins when Reeb, wearing a green polo and khaki shorts, is accused of stealing someone else's ball - which he clearly has no intention of returning.
'You'll leave after I don't give you a goddamn thing,' he says, holding up the ball.
Another golfer then says he isn't prepared to 'fight' on the golf course, which somehow sparks a wild reaction out of Reeb.
'I'll plant you, b**** boy,' he says. 'Now get the f*** off the cart!'
He then rips off his shirt and screams while tensing his muscles, before shouting: 'You see that! That's a dude that's been to heaven, b***h. And you want to test God?
'You f***ing come get it, s*** stack!'
However, the other golfers have clearly seen enough and eventually decide to drive away.
Fired-up Reeb - now shirtless- then shouts at other onlookers: 'Been to heaven... leave me alone!'
A worker at Crooked Creek Golf Course told DailyMail.com: 'He had started on three different people and we had to escort him off.
'We said to him to leave and not to come back again. This whole thing happened between hole 9 and hole 11.'

This is the moment Reeb went berserk during an altercation on the course
On July 26, dressed only his underwear, Reeb allegedly threatened a 26-year-old man called Christian William Griteman in his hometown, according to the Archbold Buckeye.
Police spoke with both men, and Reeb was issued a minor misdemeanor citation for disorderly conduct under the Archbold municipal code.
Just three days later at around 1.15am, police were called to reports of a shirtless Reeb apparently chasing a vehicle down the street.
On July 15 he was also charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly yelling at Archbold resident Keith Perry, 48, as he was getting into his truck to go to work early in the morning.
The police report states that Reeb spat at the truck, then tried to spit on Perry through the vehicle's open window, per the Archbold Buckeye.
August brought two more arrests for Reeb. His latest arrest was on August 10, when police attended reports about him allegedly 'causing problems with others'.

Reeb was taken into custody and transported to the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio. He has since been released.
Earlier in August, he was charged yet again with a misdemeanor warrant.
In November 2017, Reeb was also convicted of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and ordered to do 150 hours community service and pay a $560 fine.
His other alleged crimes include speeding in a school zone in October 2007, possessing narcotics in July and December 2015, planning an intentional riot in 2022, and trespass earlier this year.
Reeb also caused a dramatic car crash in 2020 which caused him to be thrown out of his vehicle.
On June 11 of that year, Reeb was driving a Buick minivan when he failed to heed a stop sign and ploughed into the path of a Ford pick-up truck, according to The Village Reporter.
Alcohol was suspected to be a factor in the crash, per reports.
