And in golfing news...

Most of you know I fancy a bit of golf every now and then. I have even been known to play more than once a week... ok... maybe even 4 times a week. Anyways, I came across this wonderful article about a man who is suing the Candia Woods Golf Links. The reason? He got a hole in one... problem is, the hole was is eye and he is now blind in it. Now before I get drug through the streets for making bad golf puns about ones misfortune, the reason he is suing is because he wasn't warned that a ball HE hit could bounce off of something, come back, and hit him. Dolt...

Paul Sanchez, a 67-year-old "occasional" golfer, sued Candia Woods Golf
Links this week over an accident that left him blind in one eye. Sanchez, of 20 Country Club Drive, Manchester, was golfing with two or three friends in September 2006 when a ball he hit bounced off a yardage-marker and "whacked him" in the right eye, according to his attorney, Barry M. Scotch."Before he
could even -- pardon the expression -- blink, he was hit," Scotch said. "It just ricocheted right back at him."In the lawsuit, Sanchez faults the course's owners for failing to warn him about the markers, which are used by golfers to decide what type of club to use and how much effort to put into a swing. The suit contends the course didn't warn Sanchez about the risk in the pro shop, on the scorecard or on any tee boxes.
