Hit by a Golf Ball

We had a match today vs. Long Beach Poly at Big Rec today. That match was offered to us Wednesday and we took it. We lost 244-246 as every stroke mattered. I was part of the scoring and shot a 55, but could've done better. I had a total of 3 penalty strokes today. On hole 3, I drove my ball to the right but lost it so I had to take a drop, in thus resulting in a 1 stroke penalty. Then hole 6, I chunked and completely missed my drive, and it went onto the street. 2 stroke penalty for me on that hole. Man, if I did not lose any balls today, we would've won. Tuesday, we go at it again. Same place, same team, same time. Hopefully, we can avenge this heartbreaking loss.


ANNDDDD, I got hit by a golf ball. What are the odds in getting hit by a golf ball??? Hole 3, I drove my ball to the right and it landed under the trees. I went over there to look for my ball. And since hole 4 goes back the reverse way, the group in front of us teed off. And Richard sliced his shot and went to the right. Meanwhile, I was under the trees searching for my ball. I did not know a ball was coming at me and heard no "Fore". And then a ball bounced once and came at me, hitting me smack in my lower left thigh, just above the knee. And it hurt for a few seconds as I shook it off. I was ok for the rest of the round as it didn't really hurt. But now, at 10:30 PM, I'm starting to feel it. It is starting to hurt know. It's gonna become a bruise. Getting hit by a golf ball is scary. The ball is traveling fast at a fast speed right at you. I definitely was shaken up today by that experience. Luckily, it was only my leg..
