Assault and Attempted Assault

I have been threatened with assault and attempted assualt charges and want to know if these are valid:

I threw my golf club on a golf course into a lake. A nearby golfer in my foursome stanfing 6 to 10 feet away claimed I was assaulting him with a deadly weapon. When a freind of mine retrieved the golf club for me, this golfer broke it into several pieces and has since threatened me by phone with assualt with a deadly weapon. Whilst I do not condone my actions in throwing a golf club into a lake, it does not warrant destruction of my personal property nor assault charges. Are these threats valid? Could I in turn sue for replacement/repair of the golf club? Please advise - thank you.

Re: Assault and Attempted Assault

I doubt that the assault charges, or threatened assault charges, are going anywhere. As to the golf club, you are no worse off than if it had stayed on the bottom of the lake where you abandoned it.
