Enough with hitting houses and cars, any of you boys hit a person?

I once bladed a sand wedge trying to do the old Tiger bounce, bounce, swing shot, while waiting on the group to clear the green. Hit it off the toe into a retaining wall and right back into my buddies shin. He wasn't please and we were too young for me to buy him a beer, I had to wait until the weekend to get him good and drunk.


A close friend of mine's older brother was playing at the LSU course. One of his friends hit a low burner as someone stepped out from the other fairway looking away. Ball caught him right in the back and sent him to his knees. Everyone was fine and walked away, albeit some slower than others.


Who hear has hit someone or witnessed it?

Never hit anyone, but I've been hit in the arm while waiting to tee off on first hole. Guy on #9 shanked his approach shot.

Buddy of mine was hit in face while "chipping" in the front yard with his brother. Brother bladed it right in his upper lip. Was black and blue for a month.

I saw King Ranch hit BeaverPRO while he was sitting in his cart on #10 at LSU a few years ago from the tee box...



























.....with an 8 iron.

#7 at The Links. In good shape off the tee. I'm lining up my second with a hybrid. I see the group on 8 leave their carts and walk up to the tee. I have to aim at that turn around because I play a draw(it's a dangerous design), especially with hybrids. I hit the shot and look up. A guy in the group in front is running back to the cart area because he forgot something I guess. I start yelling. The ball nails him in the elbow and bounces nicely toward the hole. I pitch up and make the putt for birdie. I never got to thank him.

No, but my wife hit a ball off the outside toe of her driver and it went 90* sideways and hit the side of the canopy of the golf cart that my friend was sitting in Scared the hell out of both of them. That was the last couples scramble the wife played.

Worked at LSU golf course for a while. Same foursome of brothas (Temple 4 some) had high expectations as to how long course maintenance should take. One of his bum friends smoked my calf off the tee while I was raking bunkers. I threw the ball in the pond on 4.

Been also hit out at Coppermill by a band of brothas.


I am seeing a trend. My white arse isnt fast enough.

Never hit anyone.

I've been hit a few times. Golf maintenance is a risky business.

I hit a groundskeeper in the leg from a little over 200 out. In my defense I waited for him to move and when he didn't I tried yelling and signaling to him. Finally said screw it and flushed my 3H and hit him while he was next to the green side bunker. I apologized to him but he didn't offer much of a response. Not sure if because he was pissed or if because he was Spanish

During a yearly Scramble tournament I play in I hit a poor tee shot into the next fairway. About 2 minutes later two guys come riding up yelling "don't you know how to yell "FORE!!, you hit me in the F'n NUTs!!". While chuckling, I said sorry as they drove off yelling at me. After a second or two I realized that I probably didn't hit him in the nuts just landed to close to him/cart and he didn't like it. I still tell people I hit a guy in the nuts once.

No, I've gotten close a few times on blind holes with drivable greens when I was younger.

Pretty much nothing is drivable these days.

Was playing on Hilton Head, I was stuck behind a foursome of 2 couples, backed up all day. Get to a Par 3 with a big elevated green, and don't see the group anywhere. Don't see any of their carts. No balls on the green. Think to myself "Finally, they sped up". Proceed to absolutely melt my next shot. Going right at the flag. As I look up towards the green, to my horror, one of their foursome is walking up on the green from behind. My shot hits once, and then catches the guy right in the thigh. Stops 2 ft from the hole.

They had apparently all hit long and parked their carts behind the green.

One of the wives drives back to give me the business. She was I apologized profusely.

Hit my gf in the forehead with a 7 iron on backswing.
Stiches, no concussion.
She was way too close.
My bad though.
She never spoke to me again.

Smoked one of the marshalls at Webb Park a few years back. Hit all of a 3 wood trying to reach the green and over shot and smoked him as he was sitting in his cart behind the green. I never saw him until I was coming up the fairway.

I have been hit in the thigh and it was not pleasant!
I also threw a club and hit an ex friend in the thigh. He sued me for $1M because he claimed he needed two knee replacements, soldier surgery and couldn't perform in the bedroom because of it. Court gave him $35K. They saw thru the lies!

When I was maybe 13, I was walking up to mark my ball on the green after a chip while my buddy prepared for a bunker shot. a-hole must have thought he had a handle on the situation and took his swing as I was coming up from placing the mark. He full-swing bladed it right into the back of head/neck from about 25 feet. Knocked me out cold for almost a minute.

I've never hit a person, though I have run one under an occupied cart a time or two. Now I wait probably longer than needed so it isn't in my head.

playing in a coach's tourney a while back and one of our guys topped a 3-wood on a par 5 and hit another coach who had pulled up the fairway to his ball. Knocked him out. Had to take him to the hospital. it wasn't funny at the time, but there were lots of laughs later.

Never hit anyone that I know about. Have come close more times than I care to remember - pushed a drive on a course a few weeks ago where the driving range was right next to the fairway and was genuinely surprised that I didn't nail someone.

I was hit when I was like 10 playing a par 3 course with my friends. The most uncoordinated friend of our group managed to hit a ball at almost a 90 degree angle right at my face - did the instinct reaction to put my arm in front, and it nailed my elbow. Hurt like hell, and I thought I broke it.

A few years ago on #14 @ U-Club, 1 of the guys in our 4-some bladed a lob wedge and smoked the member we were playing with in the back of the head. He was probably 30 yards in front of him walking to the green with his back turned. It was weird because he didn't say a word about it, he just kept walking.

He told us at lunch after that he blacked out for a half second. He ended up shooting his lowest round ever out there at the time.
