Ive had one!
Ahem:
-----------
I was playing golf, 179 yards to the pin, over water. The 150 yard marker blocking but didn't bother with it because it was, well, 29 yards away.

I took out a 4 iron and made a few swings and addressed the ball.

( the part)
I whacked it thin and it hit the marker 29 yards away and flicked off right at me. I didnt finish the swing and well, thank god because the ball travelling at ZOMFGFTWBBQ??? km/h flew right under my sweaty armpits. And after that my game went downwards.:sigarette:

 

[Brad Johnson]

Sorry Ariff, but i couldn't help but laugh at that situation lol.

I was playing on the streets with other children from the neighbourhod and I crossed the street. Suddenly there came a car from the street on left with 50 kmh.. I stopped just on time.. But he drove over my right foot.
I was lucky.

I think I was 8 or so back then. I remember what shoes I wore and I know the right shoe was completely worn after the accident. My foot was only very thick, nothing broken.

The guy in the car kept a trauma after this and never dared to drive fast through a neighbourhood anymore.
