re: Worst injury you've seen on a course?

Cousin died after breaking his club in anger and then hitting the cart roof support with the damaged club. Shaft pierces his jugular and now, he’s dead.
This happened a long time ago at City Park(80’s perhaps)
Other than that, my brother took a shank to his shin(not from me) and it created a nasty very deep wound that took almost 1 1/2 years to heal and left a nasty scar.

How?
Trying to hit a wedge out of that fountain grass they have and the club head got stuck in it and I torqued my neck and snap.
Neurosurgeon used a bone from a cadaver to fuse my neck together.

Holy shite. I play out there all the time but I've never heard a story like that. I'll be sure to tell all my playing partners to just take the drop. Not worth it.

Olden days they had 3 wheel carts. Hit a hole going down the hill and flipped one over on my wife.
She hasn’t gone back with me since, so not sure if that counts as injury or bonus….

Member guest first round. Playing partners are hammered. Guest rolls the cart up the members leg and stops on top of him. We hear him wail. I turn around and immediately wuss out and walk away. My 75 year old dad who is a doctor runs towards them to help. Not my finest moment. But confirmation medicine isn’t for me.
Broken femur. 1500 down the drain for them. Doesn’t seem so bad after reading the thread

Saw a buddy get hit with a ball off a smoked 3W from about 30 yards away. He was standing next to the cart sort of out of the way. He went straight to the ground.
I never get anywhere around where the ball might fly. I stay way out of the way, especially if the guy isn't a good golfer.
Hit him right around the eye. Eye was swollen shut by the time we got to the green. Put cold beer cans on it to help.
He finished the round.
Another friend riding by himself, ex Olineman who weighs around 400 coming down a wet, curvy cart path flips his cart and slides down the path a bit. Asphalt ate his arm and leg up.

Was paired up with a random twosome at the RTJ course in Auburn about 15 years ago. Two young guys in town for the lsu/AU game. Passenger has his right foot dangling out of the cart as he’s talking to his buddy and we are approaching a wooden bridge. Driver is going full speed and the guys foot catches the front edge railing of the bridge and completely snaps backwards and exposes his bone and is dangling by tendons and ligaments only. Guy is emitting blood curling screams and clutching his leg. His buddy is panicking and about to pass out at the sight of it. I call 911 but have no clue of the address or nearest street names. Just trying not to lose it on the operator. I wrap his foot up in a golf towel and they haul butt back to the clubhouse. Took me about 30 minutes to calm down and continue playing. Still think about it when I see people hanging their foot out the cart.
Man, gotta keep arms and legs inside the carts at all times.

Something similar happened to Luke Kwon from Good Good Golf last year. His head was sticking out of the cart while it was moving over a bridge of some sort and he hit it on a sign. It wasn't hit hard and he continued playing, didn't even know anything was wrong until the next day when he started experiencing concussion-like symptoms. Went to the ER to get checked out and turns out he had a brain bleed with a massive pool of blood building up in his cranium. If he had waited a few more hours he was likely dead (and almost died in the hospital if I remember correctly).

Last year, One of the Cart boys at English turn had his left foo dangling outside of cart(Like nobody does that), he took a turn too close and the curb forced his foot under and back towards the wheel basically taking the skin off to the bone. I believe it also fractured his ankle.

Also, was working a club where a lot of the members owned their own carts. Thunderstorm came and we had a pretty sophisticated weather system installed that would automatically sound the siren to come in. Guy comes in, waits it out for a out thirty minutes, then decides to drive his cart home before the all clear signal blows. Gets caught in a down draft and a tree falls on his cart on the 12th hole and splits it in half. No telling how long the guy was out there before someone found him but he lost his leg but survived. Later sued the club for a lot of money claiming the tree was diseased. Clubs lawyers said you could find something wrong with every tree on every golf course if you really inspected them. And he was technically trespassing since the course was closed. Club ended up settling for millions.
The member was a great guy and it was a difficult case because he was so liked. He later learned to play the game again with a prosthetic leg. You see some crazy shite out on golf courses. I've seen it where guy throws his club, hits the golf cart tire, breaks and then hits someone. That broken shaft is like a sword coming at you.

My two takeaways from this thread.
1. Keep all appendages in the cart. I'm terrible for the dangling foot thing. Not anymore after reading this.
2. Why do people throw clubs? When I was a young punk I did that once and a guy I was playing with simply said "you're not good enough to get that upset to throw a club". Made sense and stuck with me. Besides, why ruin my own stuff because I'm a stinking amateur?

I dislocated a knee on a tee box playing in sneakers with a heavy due on the course - idiot

Worst I saw was a guy in our group hit a bad shot on a par 3 and started taking angry swings with his club. We were all standing behind him. On his backswing, the club slipped from his hand and flew directly into our buddy’s forehead, splitting it open. He bled like crazy. This was on like our 3rd hole and it was out of town so he had to stay in the clubhouse for like 3 hours with an ice pack on his head.

First hole TPC sawgrass... Playing with a guy that got stung by a bee. Hand was swollen enough by hole 3 that he had to stop
( Fortunately he was a local club pro and had gotten on for cart fee)

Wouldn't call it an injury but worse. Was hitting balls on the range at Sherwood Forrest about 20-30 years ago and a threesome consisting of a grandfather, his son and then his son's son were walking off of the 9th green (they were walking as in no cart by the way), which is right by the range. I hear this loud crash and the son is down on the cart path with a stroke so we call 911, ambulance comes and try to save him. He did not make it.

That story is my nightmare. I am very cautions about hanging my foot out of the cart as natural as it feels
