Tuesday 9/12/23 Jimmy Clay Golf Course:
We had a member hit very hard on the knee today by a golf ball from a player in the following group on the fifteenth hole. The incident occurred because a member playing behind them hit his shot before the group in front had completely cleared the green area.
I can share that the few times I have come close to getting hit by a golf ball happened near the green while trying to access my golf cart to leave the area.
Please exercise a little more patience and wait until the members playing in front of you have cleared the green area before hitting your ball. Even if you are a low handicapper and feel you can control your ball, things happen. Fortunately, it appears that the person who was hit today will be OK but he is in a lot of pain this evening. Again, please take a few extra moments and allow the group in front of you to clear the green area before hitting your next shot.
Your patience and courtesy is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
