Golfer hit in head with ball, loses mind
Paul Sanchez, 20 [CORRECTION: age 67], an "occasional" golfer, filed a lawsuit against a golf course in Manchester, N.H., for a 2006 incident in which his tee shot hit a yard marker and ricocheted into his right eye. Sanchez said they should have warned him that could happen. Seriously. Union Leader

Fore! Does that constitute a legal warning?

"Warning: You May Be a Total Dumbass" Just put them up everywhere.

First, kill all the lawyers! This has got to be in answer to one of those Do you need a lawyer? commercials. The guy lives at 20 Country Club Drive which is right across from a country club. Seems like common knowledge should come into the picture sometime soon.

What kind of warning did he want, "Warning, there is a chance balls might be coming towards your face"? Some might find that a bit offensive, or too Andrew Dice Clay. Oh!

Im going to agree with the guy on this. A ball that hits a yardage marker shouldnt be able to bounce back at you. Its not possible. Either he should win or he made the story up.

Several years ago, a friend, who had just retired, was playing a round of golf when a lightening storm started. 2 of the guys he was with jumped into the cart while he and another guy took shelter under a tree. Yeah, the tree was struck by lightening and my friend died. Now, I'm thinking that his family should have sued the golf course for having trees.
