I've been hit, once and it was funny afterward. We were coming up to the 18th green and there was a young kid teeing off on number 1. I looked at him and thought how cool is that. He was about 9 or 10. I took my eyes off him and he hit and his dad hollered fore and the ball hit me about the same time in the calf. I was hopping around and the dad was appoligizing and the kid started laughing and my playing partner started laughing and that got me started. It was all good.....

Why is it that so many people wait till .05673 seconds before potential contact to yell. I have fast reflexes, but sheesh!

I pulled one to the left last weekend toward an adjacent fairway. It just barely made it onto that fairway but there was a guy who was in the left rough of that same fairway. I yelled fore right off the tee and it missed him by a good 30 yards.

As I am walking up my fairway toward the ball, the guy is walking in the opposite direction toward his green and he's staring me down.

I just ignored him and he literally scowled and stared me down until I got to my ball.

It would've been one thing if I had not yelled fore, but I yelled it at the top of my lungs well in advance. I'm sorry for not being Tiger freaking Woods and hitting a bad shot.

At least I had the courtesy to alert him.

Don't sweat it. Tiger has hit more people in his last few rounds of golf than I have in 3 years.

a buddy of mine worked a tourney together a couple of weeks ago...
he was on #18 retrieving a glove that was left on the green...
#18 is pretty much a blind shot due to a bunch of hills obscuring the green...
he hears someone yell 'fore' and ducked...
apparently it was a high trajectory flop shot and he stood up to look to see if the ball was on its way and got clobbered right on his forehead...
ive been hit into many times but never been hit... none of them yelled 'fore'
RUSS's avg drive - 230yrds and climbing

Never been hit, nor have I hit anyone. I have a daughter who plays with me, if someone hit her they'd better be ready and able to defend themselves.

tough guy eh?

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
