Not the same thing but the question reminded me of the incident.
I got hit in the temple with a golf ball at the driving range last year. It almost knocked me the fuck out!!!
This man and his teenage son set up next to me, with my back to them as I am hitting balls. A few minutes go by with all three of us nailing Drivers down the center. I am finishing my practice swing when BAM!!! I get hit in the temple with something and almost go out.
I honest to God thought someone hit me in the head with a golf glub and was backpeddling trying to see where the bad guy was at. I see the father, son come running towards me apologizing like there is no tomorrow. I realize then that whatever happened was an accident and try to get me thoughts back together.
Somehow the father had gotten under and sliced the piss out of a golf ball with his driver. I was only about 5 yards away so I took a FULL POWER SHOT.
It raised a pretty good bump. When I got home, I had to explain to my then wife how I was almost killed at the driving range.
