i got whacked in the middle of my back when picking up my balls on the practice range .
bloke said he didnt notice the flag denoting people are up the range picking up balls.
a very near miss was when the hole adjacent to the one i was playing had a chap who sliced his tee shot towards myself and pp ,a big shout and i looked up and saw his ball heading towards my pp ,i just reached out with my left hand and caught the ball inches from pp head.
i was rewarded with a cold one in the clubhouse later.

I also had a near miss sat on the club house patio. A guy in the ditch on 18 hit his 2nd towards the club house. I saw it coming, ducked, and it shattered the back of my plastic chair (classy furniture) and ricocheted into the bar. Tough 3rd shot.

Some canny stories here, gave me a chuckle anyways.
I hadn't been courting my now wife very long and she decided it would be a nice idea to accompany me one evening while I played a few holes. The seventh tee is close to the seventeenth green and I was about to tee off when a loud shout of "fore" ! Went up from the seventeenth fairway. There's shouts and there's frantic shouts, you know the difference don't you? I quickly stopped over with hands around my head and glanced up at my lass who was staring at me with a look of complete bewilderment in her eyes which quickly changed as a golf ball whistled past her as it bounced on the tee box. "What the f***"?!
Haha, she knows what *fore"! Means now !

Yes, hit in the back just below my ribs from a drive. Waved a guy through on a par 5, moved myself well off to the left in the trees and turned to take my water bottle from my bag, next thing I know I am going down like a badly built Ikea dresser. Prick didnt even shout a warning.

Took one to the back of the calf last time out. Replacing the flag on the green after my PP had finished when the gents behind us decided to play a second shot into the green. Ball pitched up and hit me smack bang in the back of my calf. No appology etc but I managed to limp around the next few holes (I'm blaming the injury on my terrible performance afterwards too)

Meyrick Park is obviously a dangerous place because I was hit on the head with a golf ball in the 90's when I was standing on the 1st green. Someone hit a wayward shot from the 6th fairway!

Played in a pairs competition at Dundalk once against Irish lads. First of their players tees off, his partner was standing too close and got a mouthful of driver for his trouble!

Paul Casey hit my heavily pregnant daughter in the back with a shank at Carnoustie.
He didn't see it so is non the wiser.
In 55 years of playing and working on golf courses I have never been hit by a ball, club or golfer.:whoo:

Never with a ball but a bloke took his driver out and tried to hit me with it once, him and his wife refused to let us play through and we were into 4 hours through 13 holes - we'd asked 3 times and the 3rd time I may have said a few choice words - next thing I know he's swinging for me
