Awful to hear that. Clark was darn right dangerous here. Hitting by accident with a golf ball happens but If you throw a club you should be held responsible

Someone I know lost an eye by being hit by a club thrown in anger by someone. A ban isn’t unreasonable.Kill someone ?!?

And you can get hit on the head by a golf ball
Accidents happen in all walks of life even in sport , no one deliberately looks to hurt someone for goodness sake

They have code of conduct- , will be some sort of warning or fine but he won’t be banned
Edit -from the video he threw it into the hoardings where no one was behind it

If you throw a club in anger and someone dies does it go from an accident to man slaughter?
"Involuntary Manslaughter:
This refers to killings where the defendant did not intend to kill or cause serious harm, but the death resulted from an unlawful act or gross negligence."
I mean a loose golf ball is an accident , throwing something that causes death you can't really claim it's a pure accidental

He hasn’t deliberately thrown the club at anyone - he threw it at the hoardings behind the tee
No one was hurt beyond his driver
If someone did get hurt then the situation would be different

He shouldn’t be throwing things with spectators around. Simple as that.
Imagine if that hoarding is someone’s face,

He wouldn’t be throwing against someone’s face though - he threw where there were no spectators

Shouldn't be doing it full stop
Imagine it happened at your club you throw a club and your pp got hit and died
I'm sure the police would have something to say

If it bounces off the hoarding instead of going through it?
You will argue black is white it’s pathetic.

My mate got hit in the head with a golf club. He’s not dead but he is very stupid. The golf club may have improved that though…

“If”
Lots of “ifs”
There was no fans there , he damaged his club and the hoarding and will get a fine in line with any code of conduct in the same way Homa has , Hatton has etc in the past when they have thrown a club
It was poor from Clark but it won’t be a ban
An incident happened years back where an iron was slammed down and the head hit someone , it was a fine not a ban

It’s drummed into you as a junior don’t throw clubs someone might get hurt.!

There was a marshal stood just a few feet away from where it impacted the hoarding.
Clark gave no consideration to whether anyone was in the vicinity and had zero control over where the club was going.
It was pure luck it didn't hit anyone.
Your original comments were thoughtless at best. You're just making yourself look even more foolish with each subsequent comment.
