Yesterday we had just finished the 17th hole at Upper Unionville and were just sitting in the cart about to proceed the 50 feet towards the 18th tee box when a loud boom hit the cart and the side of my face. Initially I had no idea what had just happened but the sting from that ball was incredibly painful. When I realized what happened I looked back at the 17th fairway and the guy who hit the ball was more than 170 out. naturally I yelled at the top of my lungs something about yelling FORE!!!
When the group came up to the green, of course they said that he yelled fore and I was not in the mood to argue with them, but if you hit a golf ball and clearly see it heading towards a group of golfers you don't yell fore so that your group can hear it and anyone within 50 feet....You yell FORE at the top of your lungs.
Having said that I am not sure if I had heard a FORE, if much would have changed...possibly I would have crouched and got it in the eye...who knows...In any case I was lucky as all I have is a bit of a swollen cheek and a red mark which hopefully goes away in a few days.
