I play golf every so often and I come to expect the risk that maybe I’ll be hit by a golf ball.
A woman who was felled by a ball while watching her boyfriend play golf in the summer of 2006 is suing the Owl’s Creek Golf Course for $1 million.
Crystal Timpanaro of Emerson, N.J., was hit in the left temple and eye by a stray golf ball and seriously injured, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court in December.
Timpanaro was sitting in a golf cart near the 16th tee on Aug. 24, 2006, when a golfer at the 17th hole shanked a drive that hit her, the lawsuit said.
