I was hit in the chest by my playing partner with a hybrid at full velocity, he asked why I didn't chest it back on the fairway??bruise the size of a dinner plate!

I went to play in Barcelona at Easter and on one of my playing partners first drive on the 1st tee it came off the hosel and got me square on the ankle - that hurt for a few weeks!

MashleyR7 smashed my GoKart wheel, missing me by inches, a little while back!

Anyone for target practice?

He hit you with a hybrid?! Did he throw a provisional 3 wood afterwards?

That was an (un)fortunate side effect of a career shot and poor course management by the group in front not making it apparent they were there. I'm still in therapy after my lucky Pro V was vandalised beyond repair

A couple of my playing partners were fat gits and therefore must have been quite visible !

Nope. All off towards the slope on the right. Even my PP's couldn't see any signs of those fine physical athletes you were playing with and assumed I was safe. They probably assumed I had no chance of getting anywhere near the green and 99% of the time were right.

I've heard the rumours. I'll stick with that thanks. I'm still waiting for the recognition my soaring five wood, with a subtle hint of soft draw, landed on a postage stamp to perfection, following the contours of the green like a trained gun dog after a pheasant, stopping just past the hole after threatening an eagle, deserved
 
I thought the idea of the available golf fashion on the internet is just to be seen. A bit like the orange gear the people wear when shooting ducks.

As a beginner I am getting quite worried here. I thought that when my ball is further up the fairway than that of my pp thence both do their ball 1st before advancing to mine?

He's not going to catch me in the showers, anyway the RSG meet is February and I'm not due a New Year shower until April!
 
Surprisingly I have not hit anyone yet, though I did hit a GM editor's trolley at Royal Liverpool.:eek: He thought it was safe leaving it in the middle of the fairway.:whistle:
 
Yes but not on a course.... When I was a lad about 10 had an old club me n my mates went out with a couple of balls trying to hit down a grassy area between houses- thinking back now there's barely 30 yards between them houses so pretty dumb... I whacked a hook left just as a younger 6-7 year old lad ran out between 2 houses- hit him right in middle of the chest and he went down like a sack of spuds- honestly thought I killed him... He jumped straight up and ran all the way home in shock.

Knew where he stayed so had to go to his house and apologise to him and his mum...but shook me up still remember it vividly

When I was a lad, about 15 years old, a friend and I would hack balls around our local sheep fields. I only had three ancient hand-me-down clubs, a niblick, a 6 iron and a 1 wood. Our games usually consisted of hitting a couple of balls towards a vague target and walking after them in slapdash fashion. After watching my friend duff his shot about 15 yards, I decided to have a crack with my 1 wood. He was walking away from me, I turned about 45 degrees to the left of him and lined myself up to my Top Flite, I was thinking there's no way I could hit him from that angle.

The ball came off the toe, 45 degrees to the right of me at about waist height like a bullet, just as my friend was bending down to pick up his ball. The ball hit him in the forehead and ricocheted straight up, the noise it made on contact with his head was as a crisp as a leather ball off willow. I stared, mouth agape, caught between nervous laughter and a scream for help as I watch him fall to the ground limp, holding his head and beginning to convulse.

I ran over to him and as I got closer I honestly thought I'd killed him because he was in the foetal position twitching and making strange noises. I tried to ask him if he was alright but I couldn't speak. My mouth was dry and despite my mouth moving I couldn't make any noise. He rolled over onto his back and clutched at his stomach. He wasn't dying. He was laughing so hard he could barely breathe between words.

"Did you" Gasping for air... "Hear that?"

I really did think I'd killed him so the laughter came with huge relief. The lump on his head was spectacular and he wore it like a badge of honour. I don't know how he didn't punch me, if the roles were reversed I wouldn't have behaved the same.

:thup: :thup: :thup:





I've had a couple of worm-burners hit me in the foot, had a few near misses especially one where a stray drive flew past my right eye and I swear I saw the word Titleist on the ball as it went past at 150mph :mad:

Don't recall ever hitting anyone (although I stand to be corrected) :p
