Liam Redmond, 61, and sons Liam, 25, and Luke, 23, left a lorry driver scarred for life when the event at Prenton Golf Club, Wirral, turned into ‘something akin to a bar room brawl’. Liverpool Crown Court heard the atmosphere had been peaceful until last orders when staff were alerted to Redmond Snr arguing with someone by the bar area. The three relatives, who were described as ‘squaring up and showboating’, were asked to leave but a ‘large scale fight’ broke out as they reached the exit. It was said to have been triggered by another man putting his arm around Redmond Snr’s daughter, unaware they were related and trying to keep her in the bar.
