   I used to play golf 30 years ago with a real jerk who would curse and throw clubs all the time. One day, he showed up with a cheap, new driver he had bought for $7. He hit a horrible tee shot, and immediately threw the club. The shaft shattered like it had been made of glass. No one was hurt, but I NEVER played golf with him again.

   He had the cheek to send his wife back to the store for a refund, due to the club being “defective”. She got his money back.

     Knew a guy that did that. Didn’t matter, unless it was a perfect shot (which, for being a 100+ shooter, rarer than rare), the guy got pi$$ed and threw whatever was in hand. It got old, fast…

   Don’t do stupid things … think of the consequences beforehand

   My wife went to A-State and this is her friend’s sister-in-law. She was just a kid at a college party. The story doesn’t mention that the kid who swung the club also saved her life. He thought quickly and was able to keep pressure on the wound..

     Still, it shouldn’t have gotten to that point.

   This article should be in the WITB section.

   Now the guy has to complete the party with only 13 clubs. Tough break.

   Good to know. I think this kind of incident with golf clubs has resulted in at least a fatal incident or more. I heard a story of one golfer throwing a club after a bad shot, club hit a ball washer, broke and part of the shaft came back and hit the guy in the neck and killed him. I am not totally positive it is a true story but could happen. Safety always needs to be a priority everywhere and golf clubs are no exception.

     A cousin of my wife was killed by a golf club. He was swinging it, decided to hit a clothesline. The head and some of the shaft snapped off… the force of the swing and the way it broke caused the broken end to “wrap around” the post, leading to the kid to be impaled in the throat. You just never know, and responsibility isn’t always on the front of everyone’s mind…

   What in the world does this article have to do with golf. I was in a fraternity and a lot of stupid stuff went down on a regular basis.

      I’m sorry you’re not intelligent enough to realize the point.

        Totally agree with you, rkristopher.
        It is amazing how many callous remarks about this tragedy have shown up in this forum post.
        One person comments that the guy who swung the club will have to finish with 13 clubs now.
        Another asks if the club is on 2nd Swing yet.
        It’s sad that adults write such things.
        I could understand if this was some YouTube music video site, as those are loaded with immature comments from youthful schoolkid commenters who are just acerbic or mean-spirited.
        It’s nice to see someone call out those who post those extremely childish remarks.
        There is NOTHING funny about a young girl almost being paralyzed in a tragic accident.

            Compassion is what is lacking in people these days as all the callous posts above aptly demonstrate. Would any of any say these things if it were your wife or sister ?

      Mikey, I find it pathetic that you would use an article about a tragedy to announce your idiocy to the internet. I live in Ar-Kansas now, and I’d be happy to compare my life to yours, ’nuff said.

      I wish the country understood the Clinton’s are from Arkansas and then, maybe, Hillary would not be in the POTUS game. Half the people in America couldn’t tell where Arkansas is on a map. Progressives are destroying the country, the world and are responsible for much of golf’s demise over the past few years. I hope that young lady recovers and get’s back to normal.

        GTFOH with that BS. Really? This article is about a girl who was nearly paralyzed- or worse- and you bring this $hit here? Are you that stupid and uncaring?
