My friend got hit with a golf ball at the Masters

I heard about it on the news,
...Snead, the man reputed to have the sweetest swing in golf, made clean contact in more ways than one. The drive sailed to the right about 100 yards and hit a man in the face. The spectator, whose name was not immediately available, was treated for an abrasion on his nose.

That was a friend of mine.
He recieved a concusion, and is still a bit wooosie.
He says he is glad he kept his name out of the papers.
I wish he hadn't because he is one of the funniest peoiple I have ever met.
His interviews would be priceless.
 
I heard they awarded him a Green Jacket for his pain.
My question is this:
Does he have to leave the jacket in the clubhouse at Augusta like everyone else, or can he keep it?
 
No, they did not award him a Jacket, but they are taking care of him.
When his father was a little boy, he wrote Eisenhower and told him to post pone his trip to the National because the forcast was for rain.
Eisenhower was touched and wrote the 10 year old back a letter.
40 years latter, his son gets cracked in the head and knocked out for 2 mins on the course.
 


<< Wow, anandtech have some famouse ppl.


🙂 >>



I don't think being a friend of a guy that got hit by a golf ball is really considered that famous 🙂
 


<< Sounds like a great lawsuit to me. >>



When you buy your ticket you assume the risk of getting hit by things. Same is true at baseball and hockey games. A lot of the times the ticket itself will even say it.

A lawsuit (besides being stupid to begin with) would likely be pointless.
 
Hey, the city of Augusta could turn this into a great advertising slogan: "Come to the Masters, and get balled!" 😀

very true, but i studied a case where a kid got hit with a foul ball at an MLB game. the family still won their lawsuit even though a disclaimer was on the back of the ticket

That's because a disclaimer on a ticket won't hold up in court in some places. Why?? Because you don't get the ticket until you actually BUY it. So it's like agreeing to go to the game but finding out there are consequences only after you pay.
