perseveringgolfer Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Maybe the powers that be will do something about the lack of shouting now when a rock travelling at 160MPH is heading for your face! The amount of pro's who either do nothing or just hold up an arm to indicate the balls direction is quite poor. If you don't want to shout have your highly paid caddy or marshals doing it. I get it that at noisy venues such as the RC or a Major it might not be possible to hear a shout from 300 yards away, but something needs to be done. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/45714544 Driver Awaiting NEW Driver (after 10 yrs) 4 Wood Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead plus 4+ Callaway shaft in 'Firm' flex Hybrid Titleist 910H 19* Diamana ahina 'flower' shaft in 'S' Irons Mizuno MP18SC 4-PW N.S Pro Modus3 Tour 105 in 'S' Wedges Callaway Mack Daddy forged in black 50* and 54* KBS Tour in 'R' Putter 'YES' Tracy 11 C groove 34.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoverRick Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Here's a thought, if you are going to spend the time, effort, and money to go to a golf tournament, and stand near the fairway 250-350 yards from the tee box, PAY ATTENTION to players teeing off. When you are on the side and the player raises that arm, cover your head. It's not like balls are constantly flying down that fairway.

If you park your car near a course, you accept the risk. If you build a house on the course, you accept the risk. However, if you drive a golfcart through the club house window, it is your fault. I know that from experience.

fixyurdivot Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Sad story. I always wondered when this would happen. It amazes me just how close folks are willing to get to players shot paths blindly (no pun intended) putting faith in the players capability. When I marshaled at The Boeing Classic, we were told to keep them back at 45 deg angle from the ball - or at least try too. I was also amazed how many folks would park themselves along the drive landing zones and then carry on as if they weren't in a hazard area. Talking, screwing around, and generally not paying attention as groups were teeing off. It will be interesting to see how the legal action plays out. I suspect the players and/or individuals have coverage, but as has been pointed out and much like at MLB games, the ticket clearly states that you attend at your own risk. Short of gross negligence, BK turned 90 degrees and aimed at the crowds, the player is not liable.

RickyBobby_PR Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 If you are on the course you assume all risks and you might want to pay attention. For tee shots the marshall on the tee is indicating direction ball is going and they wave nice big bright “wands” so seeing them is easy. If they are waving in your direction be ready for the ball to come that way. its not like baseball where they can put up a net to protect fans. What makes live golf awesome compared to other sports is the proximity you get to the players. Let’s not pull a us open at chambers bay where the fans were no where near the players.

sixcat Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 "Considering legal action!?!?!" Isn't there some implied consent when choosing to attend a sporting event? Isn't that implied consent printed right on the back of the ticket? I feel for this lady for losing sight in one eye but she chose to be in the position that led to the injury.

It would also not surprise me that the PGA and/or most players have liability insurance. Knowing that it was your errant shot that left someone blind in an eye would be tough to haul around the rest of ones life. This could very well get into Brooks head and adversely affect his game.
