There are probably a dozen threads on this, but I'm too lazy to look. A few questions.

1. Have you ever been hit by a golf ball?
2. Have you ever hit anyone with a golf ball?
3. Have you ever hit anything else - car, clubhouse, etc?
4. Have you ever been in a fight on the course?

I have been hit 3 times - the first one asked me how far I thought his ball would have gone if I hadn't stopped it.

I've never hit a person, but have hit into someone's open trunk in the parking lot and hit a clubhouse once. Nothing broke either time.

I've never been in a fight - anywhere.

You're right I just saw the thread title and it was worthy....

To answer your questions.

1. Yes, in the middle of the back by a woman who hit one dead right off the toe of her club. Left a mark....
2. No
3. Definitely yes, Clubhouse, Maintainence Shack, 10th tee Snack Shack, Houses, Cars, Golf Carts, Trash Cans, Tee Markers, Electrical Boxes, you name it... I've hit it!
4. Define Fight....

- I've never been hit - although 2 of my playing partners have – luckily neither was hurt. http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...es/biggrin.png

- I've never hit anyone with a ball (If I do lose a ball left or right - I'm more than happy to yell FORE!!!!) I follow that up with a face to face apology. http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...lies/angel.png

- I did hit a club house once - it was 15 yards behind the 9th green and I sculled a wedge - WOW - what a sound.......

- I've gotten into a few arguments on the golf course but never anything physical. Its golf - I'm here for a good time...... http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...ilies/blob.gif

I was thinking fists, but apparently some of you have been at the wrong end of a gun.

1 . Have you ever been hit by a golf ball? Yes, by my uncle, who skulled his pitch over a green as I was walking to my ball on the other side. Left me a nice souvenir of my first golf outing in Hawaii!

2. Have you ever hit anyone with a golf ball? Yes - the course ranger, who was driving up to the tee as I was teeing off, on the right side. His fault of course, but he wasn't hurt.

3. Have you ever hit anything else - car, clubhouse, etc? Yes, quite a few trees!

4. Have you ever been in a fight on the course? Nope, but have come close a few times.

1. No, never been hit. I've dodged a few over the years, and had people hit up on me but never actually been hit by one.

2. Thankfully, no. I have hit my fair share the wrong direction, but never been unlucky enough to hit a person.

3. I've hit plenty of houses - usually on the roof off the tee. Nothing else that I can think of though, unless you count the cart/tractor at the driving range. http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...lies/devil.png

4. No, never been in a fight on the course.

1. Have you ever been hit by a golf ball? - Luckily, no.
2. Have you ever hit anyone with a golf ball? - At the range once I hit a really bad shot and the ball kind of bounced and landed in the big pile of balls I had on the ground next to me, that cause them to all go flying everywhere, and one actually took flight and hit the rear end of the person in front of me. I felt terrible about that, thank goodness they were a good sport.
3. Have you ever hit anything else - car, clubhouse, etc? - I hit a shot once that hit the cart path and then bounced back up and hit a golf cart full of golfers. It didn't actually hit any of the people but it sure put the fear of death into them for a moment.
4. Have you ever been in a fight on the course? - nope, but there have been a few times where I have been tempted to hit someone with a club. http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo.../stickbeat.gif

1. Yes a couple of times and several close calls. The scariest close call was a dead right shank that went right between me and another guy at head level. It was in our Saturday men's league and we were standing about 10 yards to the right and slightly behind the guy. We to this day have not figured out how he did it. He had no clue where his ball went.

2. Not really. only with a putt on the foot.

3. Definately, my favorits seems to be golf carts for some reason. During our cross country tournament I have also hit the clubhouse, swimming pool and cart barn (if they didn't want them hit they should not have made the hole go over them or near them.)

4. Nope but have had some heated words

1. No

2. No

3. Do houses count? I've hit plenty of stuff on the course, shelters, snack shacks, etc. If it's on the course than it has to expect that it's going to whacked occasionally. The only thing I can think of off the course are a few houses (never broken a window).

4. No

translation:

someone = JB

LMAO!! We are normally pretty civil to each other when we play. The only time I don't like to play with JB is when he is having a bad round, because I know he just wants to be done and then I feel rushed.

No I was actually thinking of a time I was at the range warming up before a round and this man kept watching me and it was really bothering me. Then I hit a terrible shot and he started laughing and pointing at me. Then to make matters worse he had the audacity to come over and try and tell me what I was doing wrong. He was so lucky that I didn't take my club and beat him over the head with it.

no no yes no

1. I have been hit once. Stranger I was paired with hit a short chip and managed a "hosel rocket" into my chest. Didn't hurt, just startled me. He was embarrassed and kept apologizing.

2. Never hit anyone, but I came close once. It scared me pretty bad. I always try to be careful, I keep in mind that killing someone is just not worth the few seconds (or even minutes) you would have to wait for them to clear.

3. I have hit the clubhouse. I think I told the story here. It is funny if it wasn't you it happened to.

4. I have come close to a fight. The Course Pro saw these guys hit into me while I was on the green and saw me start down the fairway after them. He got between us in a cart or someone would have gone to the hospital, maybe both of us.

#1. Yes, 3 times, once by my Grandson.

#2 NO, wanted too, but no.

#3 Yes, yes, and yes. probably will again in the future

#4 On the course, No. Could have, should have, but no. Parking lot, yes. A guy tried to mug me.

The golf course parking lot?

Yeah, I had just finished a round of golf. I think he was lost, and thought he was in a Wal-Mart parking lot. http://www.thehackersparadise.com/fo...ies/banana.gif
