gawd ... but on that note, a quote from that page

Nicole Brown was also hurt by a slice.
Unfortunately for her, O.J. decided that was a good time to work on his follow through.

Get well soon, Morgan!

Nice one. I got a cheap laugh out of this tasteless comment as well:

"Wouldn't be the first Left Eye crushed by some horrific driving..."

I've seen lots of golf accidents, being a golfer. I'll bet he shanked one. It still amazes me that so many folks stand close to pro golfers and in the line of fire should a shank occur. And pros do shank golf shots, not often but enough to make me always stand right behind a 'sucker'. Be safe out there. You can't get hurt (for the most part) if you stand behind the person hitting a golf shot.

Worst I ever witnessed was an "accident" ... trapped into a foursome with a blowhard who had just cracked 90 ... at the 15th hole, after 14 holes of "instruction" from this guy "tiger". "tiger" told another guy he was gripping the club too tightly on his back swing ... told him to loosen his grip ... "tiger" said he'd stand behind him to watch how he did.

Guy had a loose grip for sure ... so loose, he lost the club on his back swing and the head caught "tiger" above his right eyebrow ... "accident"? hmmmm
helluva bruise and shiner ... "tiger" kept playing but he was very quiet after that.

I wasn't there to witness it, but there was a sad case involving an orinda area teen who was at a sponsored golfing event (I won't name names, given the litigation that resulted), but the young man was standing too close and caught the back-swing of another young man to the head/face and suffered rather significant permanent brain damage. Like - not able to continue school and will be significantly affected for the rest of his life. So yeah, be careful out there.

Good thing she lost feeling in her face... YIKES


I bet Body feels worse, though... Going off the statistics, 50% of dudes would be pretty upset doing that to their wife.

Then there is the horrible story of the husband and wife that were playing golf. The husband was so excited to use his $700 new driver that he teed off from the Men's tees on the first tee while his wife was still in front of him teeing off from the Women's tees. His drive hit her in the head and knocked her flat. Paramedics came to the course and took her to the hospital in an ambulance. After 6 hours of surgery, the doctor came out and told him that his wife had succumbed to her injuries. The doctor said he had but one question for the husband. Doc: "Do you know anything about the golf ball we found in your wife's rectum?"

Husband: "Yeah, that was my mulligan."

I stand corrected. No where is safe to stand on a golf course. Be prepared.

Two friends and I once stood about 5 yards behind a fourth as he teed off. He ripped a drive to the right that hit the trunk of a palm tree dead center, about 20 yards away. The ball ricocheted straight back at us, barely missing the guy in the tee box, and hitting the golf bag of one of us standing behind him. In order to envision this properly, though, you have to also layer in the sound effects: thwack-thwack-thud, in rapid succession (tee shot, tree trunk, golf bag).

The most amazing part of it is that the tree trunk was only maybe 6 inches diameter where he hit it.

After a moment of stunned silence, we all broke up laughing. No one got hit that time but yes, you can get hurt standing behind the person teeing off.

such shitty golfers. Geez, the folks getting whacked or almost whacked standing behind golfers need to find new foursomes.

I remember standing 5-7 yards behind my father in law a few years back to be able to watch the ball coming off his club and give us the best chance to find it (he was not the straightest hitter at that point).

He hit a low line drive that managed to hit the marker at the ladies' tee and it caroomed back directly at me. I managed to move to one side as it whistled past my head.

Yeah - that one took a second to recover from before a couple of nervous chuckles...

oh hell ... true confession time
Worst shot I've witnessed was ... [U]my own[/U] ... "fun" tournament ... tense
Bottom of club near shaft made perfect contact with the top right of the ball.
Ball just clipped the top of my shoe and popped straight up.
Got the prize for shortest drive

Golf clubs have finally been retired ... donated along with a lot of unopened sleeves of balls.

Enough is Enough
No Doubt About It

With a little work you can work up a 'trick shot' routine and make some money touring around. I've never heard of anyone hitting themselves in the foot with a golf shot. Congratulations.

TWICE I've had a double hit (think Hunter Pence in Game 7 of the NLCS). I'm really not sure how - though I'm pretty sure it means my first hit was horrendous. The second hit sends the ball flying in a random direction. Quite dangerous. Quite amusing.

I've seen pros double hit pitch shots but I don't think I've ever seen or heard of anyone double hitting a full shot. I didn't realize BearInsider was full of such unique golfers.

Wait... since when was she married to Bode Miller? I thought she was married to that other collegiate volleyball player...

How many innocent people have to get hurt before we ban golf? All these injuries are just senseless!

Playing golf in AZ. My buddy tees off with his driver just as a seagull swoops down about 30 yards ahead of us. The ball hits the bird right in the head. It immediately flops onto the ground and goes into convulsions. After several seconds, my buddy decides to put it out of its misery using his 5-iron. I told him that it would not be a good idea to do that because he might get in trouble if someone saw him. Then suddenly the convulsions stopped and the bird flew away as if nothing had happend.

I just hate when that happens! you end up playing your second shot from the high rough 50 yds behind the tee box!

At least that's how I remember it when I was kid. Made Par with a nice putt!

Now to further amuse us Mr. NRA I Make Absurd Analogies Guy, give us your David Letterman Top Ten Reasons why someone needs to own an assault weapon.

Morgan was indeed married to Matt Proper, PSU mvball fine player.

Things apparently didn't work out.

She was single for 1-2 years , I think before she got together with Bode.
They married this past fall/Oct?

As bad as that looks, and it looks real bad, it could have been a lot worst, she could have suffered an orbital blowout the eyeball sinking into the upper cheek area.

Yup.
Looks like her sunglasses may have helped avoid a more serious injury.
Thank God.
