Friend Got Hit by a Golf Ball… Can the Golfer Be Held Responsible?

So, we were out on the golf course today, just having a normal round with friends, when suddenly our buddy took a direct hit from a rogue shot. Some high-handicapper sent a ball low and fast, and it slammed right into him. He was flapping around for a second and then just went still. Out of instinct, we got him out of there, but it looked really bad. Does anyone know if the person who hit him can be held accountable?

Watch out for the loudest honks coming your way, dude.

Are you by any chance a goose? Maybe you should check out The Mighty Ducks for some advice. That might tell you what to do next.

Oh no… when one duck gets hit, the rest gather around and attack it until it stops moving…

Ducks stick together, you know.

Perfect :+1:

Honestly, it doesn’t sound good for your friend… maybe find a safer spot to hang out? A nice lake or a field might be better.

It’s Canada Goose, not Canadian. Know the difference!

My apologies for the mix-up!

@esleystanley
Be the change you want to see in the world.

Our golf course allows hunting on opening day only, early in the morning before golfers arrive. Then we pack up so the course can open, lol.

Nice! When’s opening day? I’ll be there for the first shot of the season!

@esleystanley
Haha, I’m in the Finger Lakes area in upstate NY. We open on September 1st. That’s all I’m saying!

Saw a guy take down a goose with a bow from a golf cart once, he even had tacos ready by the time we got there. Wild stuff!

The last time I accidentally hit a goose, it couldn’t have cared less.

Worst thing to deal with is goose poop… or maybe all the sunflower seed shells.

My grandpa once hit a goose with a low shot. It sounded like hitting a pumpkin! Thought it was done for, but it just walked away like nothing happened.

@North
Haha, same here. Smacked a low shot right into a gaggle, and it just took the hit and waddled off.

You’d think a hit like that would at least make it honk!

That’s what happens when you hit them hard enough!
