Didn't @iacassay here, multiple times IIRC, to setup left of center? Maybe there wasn't enough room though. That looked like it hurt. Comments said stitches and slight concussion. I guess I would pad that corner to prevent it from happening again. Dude in the video, I laughed, I admit it and I'm sorry I did at your expense, but man, that was funny.

Yeah, ouch, no kidding. 

Did that a few years ago. Was alone at home in the backyard hitting in to the net on a weekend afternoon. Took the ricochet square on the nose bridge, blacked out for a about 30 seconds (I think). IIRC, this was an IZZO net and the ricochet was off a black tie strip running across the net that wasn't as shock absorbent as it should be. 

Got up all woozy and wobbly, tried to open door to go inside the house, blacked out again when tried to focus on finding the door handle, fell in the flower garden next to the door, came about after what I guessed must have been a few minutes, managed to get inside the house laid on the couch for an hour and then was ok. The nose bruise spread across the cheeks below the eyes where it lived a few weeks.

I explained well meaning/concerned/inquiring folks what happened but I am sure some made their own assumptions..😁

Wow, glad you're alright and didn't suffer any long term consequences.

Yes, three concussions so far and no rearrangements that I can tell.

So dumb. Middle of the ball (target line), middle of the net (or even slightly left of that).

Ah. Now I understand why you hit balls at your piano.

You mean wiffle balls.. 😂.

BTW, did anyone notice the ball in OP ricocheted off the frame post on the right of the net not the net itself?

When I first saw the thread title w/o the video I was going to post, "Pics or it didn't happen".   I bet that guy would hope it didn't happen!   That looked painful...

 

I laughed...

Yeah, I slowed it down. You could pad it. Maybe cut a pool noodle in half or something.

Sometimes I hit a wedge off the back-top horizontal pole and it rebounds off pretty hard. I won't admit to hitting vertical poles.

      Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
