Have you ever nailed another golfer with your ball?

Question

I have done it twice that I can remember. One time I was with a freind and we got paired with 2 old ladies. One of them walked in froint of my shot to the green and it hit her in the head. She got hopping mad and accused me of doing it on purpose. The other time I simply hit a drive that went about 50 yards further than I thought I could hit it and it nailed some guy. Neither time was it intentional. My freind and I still laugh about the lady though.

Answer 1

Unfortunately yes - 4 times.

Twice in high school - once in a match hit a kid nicknamed GORILLA. Hit him from 210 yards on the fly - 2 inches left of this nuts.

Second time Pebble Beach Hole #8. We waited for the group in front to move. I thought they were gone. I hit a guy on the bounce of my drive.

3rd and 4th were in a tournament about 6 holes apart. I had a huge duck hook going and I hit two guys playing on the holes to my left. It was horrible. The guys in my group made fun of me all day long.

Answer 2

Yep. Ricochet off a tree and came back. I ducked he didn't ...right between the eyes,the ball took his cap off and he had a knot with dimples.

Answer 3

Actually, yes three times.  Once in the left hand, once in the a s s and the last time in the back of my leg.  Then again, i have played so much golf in 45 years that i guess it is a low percentage of incidents.

Answer 4

Yes!!!!  I was in a twosome following a threesome 2 years ago.  They were taking multiple mulligans on every hole.  We asked to play through but the refused.  We came to a whole across a water hazard and waited on the fairway for them to finish up on the green.  As they were coming back across the path I shot at the green.  I pulled it short and yelled fore.  It hit the front of the second cart and bounced up into the drivers face.  It hit him right in the mouth and bloddied it up pretty good.  They were kinda mad, but luckily myself and my partner are both about 300 lbs.  I assure you I am not that good of a golfer to hit a moving target.  The good part was that they let us play through the next hole.

Answer 5

I haven't, but I have been nailed. My cousin is a PGA Pro and he was doing this clinic thing at his country club and I was helping him out and this boy who was probably 11 was chipping but he decided to try and hit me, who was standing on the other side of the green. I had my back to the green and he nailed me right in my calf. It hurt really bad! Swollen and bruised for awhile, it bruised the bone too.

When we were little, me and my brothers were outside on Easter hitting balls in the backyard and my oldest brother was swining and my other brother (2 years younger than the oldest) was dazed out and didn't realize he was swinging and nailed him right above the eye on the bone right by your eye brows. It cracked open and we spent the afternoon of Easter in the ER.

What about you?
