Dangerous Encounter at Sembawang.. if i reported him what will happen to him??

Finally had a chance get to play sembawang new course...Have a game at sembawang on thursday morning. 1st hole, Four of us were at the green, while i am concentrating to do my par putt around 2m. Suddenly a golf ball landed next to me. My golf mate told me it just est 2m away landed next to me. I cant imagine if hit me...probably lying in the hospital and rest for minth from golf liao.

Anyway the first is a short par 4. His flight mate should be able to see us and stop him from hitting.

I din report him neither he came over and apologies to me or anyone of my flightmate. I am just wondering what if i report to marshall, what will happen to him???

He would be warned. You should've informed the Marshall or the back flight at least, so that they learned fr the experience

Was at OCC yesterday flight behind us fire ball not less then 5 m from us not once but twice.Complain to marshall and it was game over for them as they were asked to leave the course.The best thing is that the chao ang mo have the cheek to threaten the Marshall that he will write in to make a complain against the Marshall for his decision.

If the golfer doesn't acknowledge the error/apologies, lodge the complaint. It may seem frivolous but the next time, the golf ball may be more deadly. Golfers who aren't aware of simple etiquette should be made aware. And sometimes, this needs to be done the hard way.

Hi in fair term he should at least came up to offer apology or his mistake, acting blur is not a good way to get himself off the hook. I would recommend you write in to inform the club on this action cause a warning or short ban can be a good lesson to these people.
Do encounter situation like this before and the culprit just act blur and even blame you for being slow when confronted by Marshall.

i was in the similar situation yesterday. course was quite packed and everyone is queuing up for their turn. i was sitting on my cart waiting for my turn, suddenly 1 ball flew towards me. it was from the other group. but he was gentleman enough to come to me and shake my hand and apologise. so we are good.

for your situation, the guy behind you should at least came to you and apologise.

Should report. Could have seriously injured u or even kill u

Dont let that bugger off

should inform tt person and then guage the reaction.

If un-intentional and apologetic about it, he may learn from it and you can decide whether to let the matter rest.

If intentional meaning hit a shot to "push"a slower flight in front or taking a chance (like I think my shot would not reach the front flight) AND un-apologetic, then MUST report that fellow. Some ppl must be given the hard treatment.

Fortunately the latter is in the minority. Let's enjoy golf & life!

Bro, 1st hole is 390 ++ from Blue Tee while Hole 10 is dog leg left short par 4. Both holes, flight behind you should have a clear view when u still on the green. U shld report it bcos it was a clear cut "rash and negligent" act

Thanks for bros advise.
In future if i ever encounter i think i will approach the golfer behind 1st. If the attitude is bad, maybe i will report to marshall abt it. Been playing for almost 2yr, I never encounter such situation before or neither my ball almost fly to someone direction. But i think common sense tell me that should apology if scare some1.
What i really piss is after is his ball landed roll and stop at my par putt line. I might get my 1st par for the day My friend mark without offset. When i putt and roll over the marker cos my ball shifted a bit from the path. I miss my par putt... that hole my $15 just fly away...

why bother to mark for him, just push it away...

At that moment din really think so much. Trying to concentrate the par putt of the day. Since my friend had mark it, don bother abt liao... lol..

Anyone got banned before? Wat if that shot hit me, who is going to pay the medical bill? My handicapped insurance or that fellow?? Wah.. now i recall back may end up in quite serious situation...

Should report such character, what if he repeat his act and seriously injure someone.....and he thought he can get away with it.

Should at least inform or warned him of his act...

You should have reported him to the Marshall!

i would have taken his ball and throw it back at his direction and shout "your BALL"! hehe joking, i wont do it.

well, something similar happened to me recently. we were on the green while one of the koreans from the back flight decided to take his shot, aiming for the green!!! dont tell me at 100m away, he is aiming for something less. i was looking at them thinking would he pull the shot or he is just doing practice swing. just as my friends were reading their lines, he hit and i saw the ball flew toward us. they did not shout ball nor anything and swee swee the land on the green! it was close enough to make anyone feel uneasy. i was so pissed off with them and shouted OEIIII! we stopped putting and see if he would come over to apologize. he drove his buggy (that day was buggy on track at all times) to the apron and apologized, honestly if u ask me i dont think he was sincere. he was just saying sorry for the sake of saying sorry.
upon reaching the clubhouse, we decided it still better to lodge an official complaint against such dangerous golfer.

man, of all the holes, it had to be the last hole when we were about to come to a beautiful game and they want to spoilt it.

My group incident was in a course in JB.

We are ahead of a group of students with a pro (don't know from where) at the back nine.

The flight came over to join us at the 2nd hole and waited there for us to tee off.

The pro then came towards the tee box to talk to the caddy to ask her to comeover to his flight after our game.

When one of our kaki was teeing off, the pro continue to talk to the caddy at the tee box and did not stopped talking.

As one of our flight mates have 'topped' the ball and only about 100m away from the tee box.

As he went to hit his ball, one of the students from the pro flight tee off but lucky he top his ball and did not fly far.

The pro also did not apologise at all and continued to look at us.

We do not need him to apologise but will want him and his students to be jailed if the ball hit my friend and hurt or kill him.

If a pro also does not follow golfing rules then it is a sad day for golf.

How did you know he was a pro? Some dress to kill but really golf to kill.

I'm sure many of us have experienced such inconsiderate golfers before. I heard of a story whereby my fren's dad tee'd off while the guys on the front flight still on the fairway.. his flight mates told him better dun go.. but he kept saying.. cannot reach one la! and then ... BAAAAALLL!!!!

the poor fella got hit in the head.. feel to the ground. Fren's Dad and all rushed over. the poor guy was conscious and holding tightly onto his head and said to the ppl around him... "i'm a doctor.. tell me how bad it is." and removed his hands to reveal a split sculp of about 6-8" long. Called for an ambulance and rushed him straight to the hospital.

Had an incident that happened to me in one of the JB courses, about 3 months back.

This young guy tee'd off on a par 3 hole when we were putting on the green! No freaking way it would have been ok for him to do so. The ball landed just off the fringe.

Back then, I hesitated to walk up to him for an apology, thinking that he might be new and wasn't sure what he was supposed to do. But thinking back now, I felt really pissed and should have had him complained. My kaki did say though that this is in Johor, so it probably didn't matter and they would just have let him go with a verbal warning that's all.

He has no right to tee off on a par 3 hole if you are on the green, I would have gone ballistic if it happen to me.

Unless it's a call-on hole which I'm guessing wasn't the case here.
