Play comp on Saturday, on the 18th. One of the players on the adj fairways, hits a poor shot, smashes club into the ground, shaft broke bounced back and cut his wrist and I mean cut, blood spraying every where, lucky a bloke in are group is a reg nurse. Ambo had to be called, bloke ended up in hospital. Any one seen any thing like this on the course before?

Guy at our club was walking through the rough looking for his ball, eyes down, under a tree, and a stick poked him in the face just beside the eye in the very soft flesh and caused a nasty wounds but luckily no eye damage.

Did you get the putt or did his injury distract you ?

New definition for spraying it I guess :)

I heared a story once the the was a guy who tee’d off. The Ball hit the marker and at that stage they were square markers. The ball came back off the marker and hit him in the eye. He lost he eye. This guy was a surgeon, he then went and sued the course for $20 million for the loss & potientual earnings. This is hence why the courses use domed markers these days.

I f#ckin’ hate litigious b@stards like that. Being a member of a club, I would be mortified if one of our members sued the club becuase he hit a sh1t shot. Its his fault. He would be tarred and feathered and drummed out of the place.

I remember playing a game years ago and I was setting up to play my second shot on a par five… and a woman in my group was calling to her husband “watch out honey” next thing I know I’ve hit a duck hook of a shot which has taken one bounce and hit this guy right in the backside. He apparently had the biggest bruise on his butt and couldn’t sit for a few days lmao :-P

another time I was on the tee having a practice swing and a friend walked behind me for some reason and ended up wearing my driver in her cheek… she was lucky I didn’t break her jaw it was such a solid hit :|

and a lady in my group was hit up on once whilst we were on the green… an approach shot landed square on her thumb (right on the knuckle) and broke her thumb… o.O

I must have bad energy around me lol

I know that this will sound like bulldust but this is honestly true…

I was playing at Albury GC one day when I was a kid and the member I was playing with, um, took a slash under a tree next to the 13th green. Whilst in the act of relieving himself, the call of “FORE” came from the 11th tee (about 120m away, the 11th & 13th run side by side).

You got it – the ball landed right on the member’s member. The guy went down in a blazing heap, and the other 3 in the group still talk about the day that Ray H copped one in the nuts when we cross paths.

Made a long par putt save for 38 stab points, bit of blood never hurt any one.

That’s concentration for ya.

I’ve torn ligaments in my right wrist hitting a shot out of a fairway bunker :s

It took me about 18 months to recover, lots of injections and cortisone later and it still feels weaker than my left hand and my right hand is my dominant hand.

Nasty!

Club member lost an eye. Ball hit a rock….rest is history.

Very nasty though.

Trying to cut a ball around a palm tree which ended up in my nuts was pain but no blood. A guy in my group one day once had a heart attack and is alive to this day.

Tai’s post has reminded me – at my club we have a steepish fairway called “Coronary Hill” for obvious reasons. Is death an injury ?

I need to get a life…

LoL!!!

oohh geez that would be one accurate shot :|

A warning to all – never get to far in front of your group, got a mate who shanks like crazy he’s scored 2 golf carts, 1 right knee and my ankle. Had someone in another group got too far ahead and had his scalp split by a partner, got presented with a safety helmet next presentations. I hit the shanker on the bum with a shocking cut off the toe, that one went nearly ninety degrees and dropped him like he’d been shot.

I cannot believe how stupid some people are when waiting for others to tee off. I’ve seen two guys teeing off with driver, while their girls sit on their buggies 10m further ahead, on the cart path to the right, presumably to be that much closer than the ladies tee.

Hello people ! Do you know what happens when a golf ball travelling at 150 mph connects with your head? Hello ??!

Saw a guy fall down a hill and break his leg trying to retrieve a ball.

Saw another guy lean on a putter, the shaft broke and he stabbed himself in the leg. It didn’t go too deep, but it did look bad..

More than ten years ago now, my grandfather passed away on the thirteenth green at Flagstaff Hill GC from a heart attack. He had hit his first hole in one on that course only months earlier, and made par on that hole. But he would never had died anywhere else, I hope I go the same.

I have posted this story before but still thought worth repeating .. I played with a guy who told me how he was playing in the south west of Sydney one day and saw a crow swoop down about to take his ball after his drive. He jumped in his golf cart and hit the accelerator before fully in. His left leg was outside and when he hit a bump his leg hit the ground and throw his body out of the cart. His right foot was stuck between the brake and accelerator. forcing the pedal down.

There was a bump bar on the back and his shoulder hit it tearing the muscles from the bone in the shoulder. The right leg twisted, corkscrewed and broke.

After one month he left the hospital in a wheel chair.

He started playing a bit of golf about a year later.

The crow got the ball any way!!!

That last story made my jaw drop!

the thought of a leg corkscrewing shudders

great topic. if i can remember one i will eventually write one up.

Many years ago now in Nth Qld, a club which will remain anonymous had a very low electric fence to keep wild pigs off the course. A well known Sydney celebrity was there on holiday and needed to relive himself and did so in the long grass right over the hidden electric fence. His screams could be heard for miles and I understand he flew halfway back to Sydney completely unaided!!

ive had soft tissue damage in my shin after hitting tee marker from a happy gilmore, the ball dimples were imprinted on my eg for about a week and a half, ive also seen a heart attack on a fairway infront of me once but thats about all.

Does Ernies performance on the 18th hole in the last round of the Dunhill count as an injury, i reckon it still would be hurting.
