Yes. What about the video of the girl hitting an apple with a golf club and it hits the guy in the face and breaks his nose. (look it up)

it couldn't have been a real golf ball

was probably a foam one or something.

Nobody would be stupid enough to stand in-front of a driver shot like that. There's always a few people every year that die from it.

Oh, that's where you're wrong. Never underestimate the amount of stupidity in the world.

I checked it out. Crazy. Why people do things like that?

On one hand I think there should be a law against such idiotic stunts and the involved parties should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. On the other hand, I think it should be allowed to continue unabated because it's a perfect example of "natural selection" at work....just think of it as tossing a little chlorine into the gene pool!

That would've done alot more damage if that was a real ball. Plus that sound wasn't a real ball.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

Back when I was 13 I thought I was safe off to the side of a tee box.

I was about that far forward of the player teeing off and got hit just below the ribs by a nasty hook.

I will claim that that bruise looks like the same one I received. In two days I will guarantee it turned purple and the pain got worse.

I didn't squirm on the ground like that little girl did though. I also finished my round.

Unfortunately, natural selection does not work fast enough as you can see from far too many idiots in the world. :-p

    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
    • Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
