I was hit in the head by a friend of mine who was only playing for the second time in his life.  I thought I was safe standing off to the side, but he his a hosel rocket that clipped my behind the ear.  It didn't do any damage and we laughed it off because we were 16 year olds just messing around.

 

I was at the US Women's Open and was sitting around a green, couldn't see the ball start because of a small dune and I decided I would risk it when Michelle Wie hit a pull that zipped just over my head and hit the lady behind me in the arm.  There was quite a bit of blood, and I'm just happy it wasn't my head.

I never hit someone or was hit BUT,

Playing two man teams in a work golf league foursome. The other team was on the tee first. The playing partner was standing on the right side of the tee box about three feet ahead. His partner hit his drive but shanked a low screamer right into his partners ankle. He dropped like a rock with a shattered ankle. 

It was ugly. Right to the hospital, season over.  Man I cringe just thinking about it again.

Yes. TWICE!

First time I was a cart boy at a local golf course and we had to rake the balls off the fence line inside the driving rage, but the course would still let people on the range while we did it. Needless to say I got hit in the thigh by a ball, but luckily it was only probably a wedge or 9i so while it hurt, I was fine. 

Second time I was out on the course playing with some people I got randomly paired with. I normally play with a group of decent players (4-10hdcp) so we stay off to the sides a bit, but freely walk up to our ball if we are past other people in the group. Forgetting myself, I continued this practice while not in my group and got a screamer straight at my face. Was lucky enough to get my right hand up to block it, but could barely grip a club the rest of the day.  Serves me right for not following proper etiquette. Though I did save their ball from going in a lake so they were happy.

I actually hit my dad this weekend!  I can thank a hard bunker lip for that one.  Ball went straight right off it and hit him climbing out of his bunker haha

Thankfully, it wasn't moving fast and we played on just fine.

Yes. I got hit once when I was about 10 or 11 (my first year playing golf with my dad). He was in a green side bunker and I was standing on the green tending the flag like you see caddies do on TV. Naturally, my dad is no pro so after the first attempt or two to get out he thins one right into my collar bone. Took the wind right out of me, but luckily nothing beyond a bruise. Ball dropped right next to the hole though. 🙂 

Never hit anyone that I can recall.

Never hit anyone or been hit on the course itself. I did accidentally hit my friend in the back on the practice green one time. Bladed a pitch and got him square in the back. Did not feel great about that but thankfully he wasn't hurt.

When I was working at a course, I heard about someone getting hit in the head during a tournament. That's the worst one I've sort of experienced.

A friend once hit himself with his own shot. Was in the trees and hit the tree directly in front of himself and the ball ricocheted back off and hit him in the chest. If that wasn't bad enough, then came the two shot penalty and having to hit pretty much the same shot all over again.

I hit my grandpa's friend right in the hand as he was eating an apple. He couldn't finish the round. I felt so bad, but then again there was a respectful silence during all of my backswings after that.

I know of a family friend who was playing a round and apparently hit a ball into the other fairway. He walked up to his ball from the treeline and peeked around a tree to see if anyone was teeing off. It was at that moment that a ball came flying into the treeline and hit him straight in the eye. He lost the eye and wears an eye patch now.

Both actually! 

I hit someone a few years back with a really weird tee shot. I cranked driver on a par 5 that was headed dead straight and took a late turn left. I screamed fore, but she was out there about 315-320. It was the moment I realized how far I could really hit the ball when I striped it. Turns out the blues of a neighboring hole were right off the left of the fairway, apparently the people who planned the course didn’t think anyone could get there. Apparently the ball bounced and hit a guy in the leg. No harm done, but he still threw my ball into the water hazard. 
 

I got hit by a friend with the weirdest shot. I was in the cart parallel to his line about 10’ away. I’ve parked like this hundreds of times. Somehow the ball went directly at my knee! Hurt like hell, but fortunately it wore off.

I have on the left side of my forehead .. my buddy who is good shank his shot was about 5 yards up and maybe 15 - 20 yards to the right near the first cut of the rough and I was like oh the pin is to the left so I should be good... boom shank coming right for my face I pull out the Neo Matrix move like dodging bullets from Agent Smith and just like the movie Neo gets hit in the leg well I got smacked in the forehead .. I was so pissed I wanted to fight him, it hurt so bad .. the worst part was we were sharing the cart, I was like don't even say a word or look at me. By the next hole I was fine and we laugh about it to this day.

My dad has what he calls 'quick eyes'  If he sees anything in his peripheral vision that moves, he immediately hits the ball that way.  He's hit both my brother and my mom with shots growing up, as well as a couple cars.  I was never hit, but I always made sure to stay behind him, or very still behind another object.  My mom was ducking behind her bag when she was hit in the leg, and left a welt the size of a golf ball

I've never been hit but watched in horror and amazement as my brother teed off on a blind, uphill par 5 about 20 years ago.  A split second after impact, a cart came the wrong direction over the hill and directly into the flight of my brothers ball.  We yelled "fore" several times but the old guy drove right into it.  It glanced off the railing of the canopy and drilled him right in the left cheek.  The old guy had to have been 75 years old too.  He never lost consciousness but his face looked like he had taken a right cross from Mike Tyson.  He was playing by himself and was a few holes ahead of us.  Evidently, he got turned around trying to find the 17th tee and ended up in the 14th fairway.......driving directly into the 14th tee box.

He’s one lucky guy, it could have been worse.

The best I got:  Several years, I was playing with my brother and his father-in law.  Carmelo told me to go ahead and hit my drive. I was new at golf and didn't hit the ball far or straight usually.  This time I did and one hopped a long solid drive into the behind of one of the gentlemen in the group ahead. Who promptly turned are and hit the ball right back at me.  It was Carmelo's buddy so there were a few laughs.  It scared the crap out of me.
