Reminds me of what happened to me in Guam. I was standing in a sand trap on the 9th hold green when I was hit just above the temple by an errant golf ball from the #1 tee box behind me. There were large bushes blocking my view of the tee box so I never saw it coming. Almost knocked me out. When I regained my senses I found that I was bleeding from a gash on the left side of my head. Lucky the ball partially hit the band of the hat I was wearing. Turned out that the "Lefty" who hit the ball was a doctor. He came over and stopped the bleeding. I stopped by the restroom at the club house and cleaned it up and finished the last 9 holes in 39. The wound was not painful that day but the next morning it hurt like the devil. Golf courses can be dangerous places. I never walk ahead of other golfers and try to keep my eye on players even in other fairways when they are near. Be careful out there.
