freefallfreak 0 #1 March 2, 2008 Ok, here's a major reason for not taking up golfing. It's safer to jump from a plane, IMO. TripleF "Upon seeing the shadow of a pigeon, one must resist the urge to look up." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

usedtajump 1 #3 March 2, 2008 Golf!!! About three years ago I had a nephew who was killed playing golf when he tripped and fell on the golf club he had in his hand. The head broke off and the shaft was driven clean through his heart killing him almost instantly. The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

CazmoDee 3 #4 March 3, 2008 I worked for a guy down in the Keys years ago, that got hit in the eye with an arrant shot. It shattered his glasses and he ended up with tons of glass shards in his eye and a detached retina. Was actually airlifted off the course and flown to Miami.I'm behind the bar at Sloppy Joe's....See ya in the Keys! Muff 4313 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #6 March 3, 2008 I've played golf a lot more than I have skydived. During one skydive, I did have a fairly hard opening that left some nasty bruises; but they were nothing compared to getting hit by an errant drive on the golf course. I learned that yelling 'fore' really doesn't help much. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still haven't forgotten that night at Quincy when some asshole stole a golf cart and ran it through tent city, including OVER some tents, with guys sleeping inside!!!

I learned that yelling 'fore' really doesn't help much. I've always had to make sure there was plenty of distance between myself and the group behind me. Them yelling "FORE" isn't gonna do me a damn bit of good. I've waved a few groups on through because I suck at golf.

ROK 0 #12 March 3, 2008 Quote Ok, here's a major reason for not taking up golfing. It's safer to jump from a plane, IMO. TripleF Driving up a hill I thought I smelled something burning. I lifted the seat on the cart up and noticed a small flame when half a second later I heard BOOM! The battery exploded, covered me in acid, including my eyes. If there wasn't a hose about thirty feet away, I would probably be blind. As it was, I ended up with chemical burns on my eyes, and my clothes were trashed.

popsjumper 2 #14 March 3, 2008 I dunno about safety but I know skydiving is cheaper. Do you realize how much it costs to buy golf balls when you lose 12 on every hole? It's a racket I tell ya. Those trees, tall grass and swamps pressing in on the fairways were put there by the golf ball salesmen. I'm sure the idea was given to them by golfing marketeers. AND...those little teeny tiny holes. I mean WTH? I'd like to see them help improve my game by replacing them with sinkholes. The only saving grace is the "dogleg". Every once in a while my drives curves off in the proper direction of the "dogleg".My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
