So here I am on an empty Golf course by myself in a cart. Hadn't seen anybody in front or behind in about an hour. i am on the 15th hole there is a swamp 220 yards in front of me. Then the green is like another 180 yards away out of sight. i hit off the ground with a 5 wood about 185 yards or so down the middle. My second shot i use a 5 iron with the wind at my back hit it square and to the right of the green that is down in a hollow out of sight. As I drive my cart I'm thinking to myself I should have checked the pin placement. I keep driving along until I see the green and all of sudden I saw a guy lying down next to the green not moving with three other guys around him. I hit the poor bastard square on top of the head on the fly from about 180-190. I thought I killed him. Luckliy, I knew all the guys who were playing and they knew I'd never hit though them on purpose. The man came to and to his credit finished playing and pared the last two holes. i apologized profusely.

Actually had a double bogie on the hole i was pretty fucked up about it after. The weird part was my ball was lost it bounced into the brush. So i took a drop where the guy was laying. which was fucked up.
i felt like I was going to puke the rest of the day. I waited and bought him a couple of drinks after and he gave me hug saying everythings cool.

you ain't shittin there dawg...But I hate ruining somebodys day and possibly there health of freak accident cause I didn't check green before I hit.
pisses me off I can't hit the lottery or even 10 team parlay or even a flag stick in the middle of a green, but i can blindly hit somebody on the top of the head from about 190 yards away.
I gave him a call about an hour ago he said the top of his head is a little sore but other than that he is alright . He thanked me for calling him.
I'm glad I haven't had that happen to me. I would have felt terrible too. If I am even going in the direction of somebody else, I yell "4" immediately, I'm just so nervous of hurting somebody by accident. Hurting somebody on purpose doesn't bother me, but by accident I don't want to do.
Which course in Massachusetts should I stay off of (I mean do you play at)?

Got hit earlier this spring......was on the first tee box and some ass hole hit a driver on 9 through the fairway 75 yards and the ball hit me square on the toe. Put a dent in my shoe that is still there. It hurt like hell. Messed my round all up. Good for that guy that finished strong. At least yours was an accident.....dude that hit me had no business playing.
Freakish accidents happen every day, you just happen to be part of one......the good thing was he didn't have a concussion or needed to go to the hospital or the worst, killing him.
My brother golfs a lot but I quit years ago.
You did the right thing by calling him & seeing how he was doing. I would invite him out to play golf with you one day........
