Damaged caused whilst practise the great game of golf

[Deleted member 21258]

Before we moved, we had a great hallway. I suppose it was about 3 footish wide and about 12 years ago I had several mishaps which the wife loves to mention from time to time


The width was perfect for a down the grip 3/4 quarter lob wedge swing. (ceilings were not high enough for a full swing)


I hit the wall on my back swing if I swung to flat, I then managed to hit the skirting board a few times on the forward swing but the best of all my swings, enabled me to take two of the most beautiful divots out of the hallway carpet:swing:



PS I did redecorate and recarpet the hallway before moving!!

Anybody else do damage or am I just stupid?

I hit a ball off the 50yd chipping basket frame with my driver on Wednesday. It flew back over the range roof and landed plop on my bonnet. Ouch.

There is a sizeable dent in our fridge freezer from a 7 iron backswing, I also managed to smash the glass cover on our lounge ceiling fan/light which we never managed to replace.

Indoor golf is harder

Wow ... I'm torn between commiseration and boughts of laughter :roflid anyone see this?

There is a German saying: "Wer den Schaden hat braucht für den Spott nicht zu sorgen" meaning roughly: Someone who suffers damage gets ridicule for free with it.

Fortunately the damage isn't too severe and hardly noticeable with touch up paint. I can see the funny side though! :whoo:

Hehe I'm laughing too, and as you know, "wer zuletzt lacht, lacht am besten"

I put the shed window through at mom and dads. They never replaced it and a cat got in and gave birth to 6 kittens.

Took ages to get rid of them

Many years ago whilst a junior my mate and I were messing with clubs in my bedroom. I was going to install a new shaft in my driver and he decided to have a swing with the shaft first and on his back swing scrapped the tip up my new wall paper that my dad had finished the day before. My dad went ballistic but I told him I did it.

I once saw two adults having a practice swing in unison on the first tee which resulted in two broken golf shafts and a member having to come between them!

My husband was practising with new club in living room, checking his swing in mirror over fireplace. He was very careful to make sure to miss the light fitting on his backswing but forgot about the *other* light fitting on his follow through...

A mate of mine took his dogs eye out with a pitching wedge [ a Jack russell ] while practicing in his back garden, True story honest. He now calls it Captain Jack, FALSE.

Our old house had high ceilings and we had a spare room. So naturally I used it for some "swing practice" and also occassionally used airflow balls.
One time I tried to be a smart arse and put a real ball just in front of the toe of my 8i with the intention to swing past it just missing it... yeah one swing later, a sweet contact and a perfectly golf ball sized hole in a lath plaster wall.
I was not popular at all.

so can i,but i wouldnt paint the scuff on the ball.just put in in the practice bag,or use it on the course with the water.

I went to one of those auto-ball ranges.

After a bit, fed up with tees, I rolled a ball onto the mat and pulled out a short iron. I took my shot and nearly broke my wrists.... it wasn't a mat - it was a piece of fabric over solid concrete.

You can imagine hitting concrete at even slow swing speeds.... the range couldn't have cared less. No signs about it. Just weird.

Beware...

Yep, several incidents including a smashed cup, coffee table, scrapes across the ceiling and some horrible scarring from swinging in the garage and concrete flooring.

As a kid I was chipping in the back garden with my dads old clubs and sent one over the fence and through the back door window of next door. On the one side, I hated my neighbour thought it was funny. On the down side I had to pay out of my savings and got in a heap of trouble

This is it Homer!
This is why you've suffered with your chipping ever since, mentally scarred by this single event from your childhood and so unable to find a reliable technique from that day on.
