Technically the guy could be charged with assault, if you don't believe that. Check with your local law enforcement.
You guys are defending someone that intentionally sent that ball flying before he was supposed to. He was probably laughing as it went and then went oh **** it might hit someone.

umm.... couple things missing for this to be considered assault.

assault 1) v. the threat or attempt to strike another, whether successful or not, provided the target is aware of the danger. The assaulter must be reasonably capable of carrying through the attack. In some states if the assault is with a deadly weapon (such as sniping with a rifle), the intended victim does not need to know of the peril.

TAKE A LAW CLASS!!!

For anything to be considered assault, the victim has to feel THREATENED. There was no threatening action here. It was not directed toward adam c. It was a ball that flew wayward and happened to hit adam c.

I'll go ahead and post this since some idiot's probably gonna say something about this being battery instead of assault:

battery n. the actual INTENTIONAL striking of someone, with intent to harm, or in a "rude and insolent manner" even if the injury is slight. Negligent or careless unintentional contact is not battery no matter how great the harm. Battery is a crime and also the basis for a lawsuit as a civil wrong if there is damage.

no need to explain that one.

 

so wait, what about malicious intent, knowing that the ball might slice (if one knows he/she is a habbitual slicer) but continues on with the golf-swing anyway?

 

How about if he does some bouncies? I hated when peeps did that back in grade school during handball.

 

bouncies weren't as bad as waterfalls or overboards.....there was no defense against those.

 

i just got
i keep getting owned w/ these car accidents, that i'm immuned to them now. i've became superman. now, please try hitting me with golf ***** to verify my mighty self. should i call one of the central coast white folks up for this?

 

I golf....

I'll be glad to peg you for free.

 

 

Whats wrong with you? just move on............Your Genes will still reach the next generation. You'll still be able to buy that new SUV..........Just forget it happened

I understand you venting on the board and telling your story. But the threat of a law suit???? c'mon.

Let's say you win.......now what?? The guy has to pay the $125 lab fee for testing your **** for blood? The incured $75 doctors bill, incured ONLY cause you smelled MONEY??

Let's pretend you were building a Cabinet and you.....all by yourself..... smashed your thumb with the hammer. The Injury and the Hematoma(sp) would be way worse than what you recieved from that golf ball and yet after you smash your thumb would you even dream of visiting a Doctor and having your pee tested?? I'll answer that for you.......HELL NO.

Move on....just apologize to the west forum for being a Fucktard with your lawsuit speak and move on...

 

After reading this thread, I wonder if it is safe to play at "Golf Land". I dont want to get wack by lil kids.

 

One word... negligence.


There are a few voices of reason in this thread. I will tell you for damn sure it is not from any of the Southern California guys. I am technically closer to Central California.

 

I sue anything. The other day somebody hocked a luggie and it got on me. I sue him too.

 

i'm gonna sue you just for saying that!

 

Thanks to people like AdamAnt, I made it through high school. They did my homework in return for my security services. Otherwise, they wont make it to high school either. Its a win win situation.

 

LOL!!!!

 

Sure isn't coming from the person who started the thread either.

 

you just ranked out from teh socal boys.

 

golf ***** hurt like a mother. golfers know to wait.....i think the guy that hit you is just a dumbass

 

or, the ball caught a crazy tail wind. Either way, he wasn't being a dick about it.

 

You're more likely to be killed by a gaggle of thuggy type punk *** teenagers or possibly "tweens".

 

Damn, he ranked out like Scrappy from Temple Street did when 18 Street hit him up...eeeek....green light on Fuman! AHahahha.

 

Sorry you got hit Adam.

Before I read the thread I got the image of Adam diving infront of his car to save it from the wayward golf ball, ala volkswagen/shopping cart commercial.

 

Caddyshack is on HBO right now.

 

exactly, thats the easiest way u get money here in this country. Sue, and steal.

 

I thought racing rotary powered vehicles was easy money.


I wonder if they are going to show up to race that FC? I highly doubt it.

 

Hell yeah my ****** white boy we will show up. Show em' how black people race.
