The Huron Expositor, 1988-06-01, Page 9Golfers should swing with caution It doesn't look very dangerous. Nobody's wearingqquipment and the grunts and groans of physical contact are few. Golf is deceiving. It can be a very dangerous game. A speeding golf ball is as harmful as a puck and a swinging club is much worse than a high stick, so golfers are encouraged to play with caution and patience. Last Sunday the tee was crowded. The wait was lengthy and many players were impatiently fidgeting as they waited to tee off. Practise swings seem to be the most common way to warm up before play and waiting golfers are constantly swinging away while they await their tee time. A thump and a moan were enough to tell me that someone had been accidentally clob- bered by a well-meaning friend. Some ice and rest and the lucky lady was able to play her game. The shocked friend and the rest of the waiting golfers had learned a valuable lesson. Later that same day another golfer was knocked to the ground when a friend's speeding golf ball went astray. He was lucky he wasn't more seriously injured. The two back-to-back incidents prompted me to cover the subject of safety this week. The new rule book even has a paragraph devoted to safety and it is the first paragraph in the book. "Prior to playing a stroke or making a practice swing, the player should ensure that no one is standing close by or in a posi- tion to be hit by the club, the ball, or any stones, pebbles, twigs or the like which may be moved by the stroke or swing." It's important to note when we see galleries crowded along fairways and around greens at pro events these people ON THE GREENS by Carolanne Doig are subjecting themselves to a certain amount of risk. The degree ,of risk Is con- siderably reduced because the skill of the players is great. Most of the time the ball goes where it's aimed. It's a little different when the average foursome heads out and the risk factor is even higher if the golfers are beginners. Never walk ahead of your fellow players. The golfer farthest from the hole should be playing and the others should be well out of range. Never assume you are going to hit the perfect shot every tome. Remind your friends to stay back and to the side. Pa- tience is a virtue on the golf course. If the people ahead are slow don't hit up into them. Golf balls can be lethal agtd you may never have the opportunity to wait on a golf course again if you kill someone or seriously injure them. If an errant shot is heading towards other players shout "Fore". If you hear that message don't turn around to see who's be- ing warned ... you may be getting dental work done. Cover your head with your hands and duck down. Always assume the warning is for you. Basic common sense can prevent a great many accidents. Golfers should practice this common sense so we don't have to wear helmets and equipment to enjoy our game. This Tuesday (June 7) the men are having a pot luck supper after golf. The competition that night will be a nine hole flag tourna- ment.
