    Brings a whole new meaning to “keep your eye on the ball”

    Almost all the courses I play have a notice posted that lets us know the golf course is not responsible for any type of damaged caused by the golfer. That would be Cart Damage, Home Damage, Mental Anguish, Wife Abuse, Tree damage and yes even Self Inflicted Wounds.

    My advice for this type of golfer is “Get a Grip on It”

    Very good question. Did he make any effort to warn himself about the miss hit ball headed his way? Maybe if he had yelled “Fourrrr” he would have ducked.

    Very astute observation from you, and it is a Monday morning which makes you extra special. You were definately quicker than me with the “eye on the ball”. hahaha

    Thanks, I am guessing we will see plenty of clever posts on this one today, so I wanted to get mine in before my tee time today. (just kidding, I have to work today, course is closed on Mondays)

    I’m not clear on this, was the golfer suing the golf course for injury to his eye or for adding two strokes to his round?

    well, if he said fore, maybe his big mouth, like the one that said SUE, would have filled with the ball and then he’d have to have dental problems. and you talking about keeping an eye on the ball, how about keeping things our of the mouth! especially thinking that you must be perfectly swinging that club, um, wonder if he’d be suing the squirrel for letting that acorn grow a tree….

    Absolutely Brownstone,

    This is all fun at his attorneys’ expense. I assume his attorney took this on contingency only.

    what would be funny if this attorney of his, was one of the wood’s mistresses who is trying to lay blame somewhere… to get more attention… or even better, it was bill murray as the acting attorney and the case was taken vs the gopher and the folks at the golf course… i guess the gopher is only laughing his head off…

    Shiver Me Timbers, and when he scored one under par on a hole he would get a PARROT.

    Thanks Brownstone, but if that’s my best then sounds like I’m have just as bad a day as Sanchez was on his round.

    “See the ball. Be the Ball.” Now I understand where Chevy Chase was comming from.

    I think we have a contradiction. If Sanchez is good enough to have that kind of control that he states he has over his golf shots, then why would he have ever hit the yard marker in the first place?

    He must have been distracted. So who distracted him? Tiger’s girlfriend? The Gopher? The Matey? The squirrel that planted the acorn? The beer cart Girl? The beer cart Boy? He must be able to find someone to sue? Anyone, please, anyone.

    I bet his attorney had a stroke when he heard the verdict. He hooked his client into thinking he could swing a big vedict. I guess he will have to keep an eye out for another client.
