School practice round with a pothead that couldn't break 150. For his 7th shot from the fairway on one hole, I was walking across to get out of his way. He sculled it and went 10 yards right, straight into my arm.

What's he doing out there if he can't break 150?

why were you walking while he was hitting? Even if he sucks at the game he has as much right to play as you do.

Arm injured? Feel okay?

I WAS right in his way. I started moving, and he just hit. Could he not have waited 10 more seconds? He cost my foursome at least half an hour for the round.

Arm might be okay. Probably will be a big ass bruise though.

Ouch. I got hit in the elbow last fall and it hurt like hell. In my case, I was hitting my 2nd shot in the 6th fairway and a guy shanked his drive off #3. He didn't yell "fore" and I never heard it coming. Could've been worse. A couple of feet higher and he'd have hit me in the head. Yours could've been worse too. Just be glad he skulled the ball. A line driver could've really done some major damage.

BTW: I agree with Mike. Never get in front of the guy that's away. As long as he's away it's his turn to hit. Stay behind him and you'll be a lot safer.

Needless to say, I didn't stand in front of him for the rest of the round. :biglol:

He is away and your in front of him and he is the pothead??? It is that sort of prejudiced name calling that gives stoners a bad name. :)

Ouch,

Next time bring some Oreo s and a container of milk. Put it near him on 1st tee. Bet he forgets golf and has a feast.

Coulda been worse. I guess you learned a lesson about walking in front of people while they are hitting.

I'm not stupid nor am I blind. But you pollute the board looking for pity, go to your mom if you want that stuff. There's a lot of helpful guys here, some have which tried to help you out (including me), you just want pity or someone to feel bad for you. You won't get that here.
