Golf may not be a contact sport, but it can still be very dangerous when golf balls fly around at high speed. Being hit with a golf ball can be extremely painful and possibly life-threatening, which is why it is absolutely crucial not only to shout “FORE” if your ball travels to another group, but you must also call it as soon as the ball has left your field visual because you have no idea who can be around the corner.
A recent video posted on Twitter by content creator and YouTube star Seb Carmichael-Brown made golfers seriously angry after the man in the video was shot while shooting, before a ball hit him hit hard in the head, without warning. Watch the accident in the video below:
A reminder for all of us ….
ALWAYS scream FORE !!

You can feel the strong crack of the ball hitting the victim on the head before he falls to the ground in pain and his friends rush to see if he is okay.
Hundreds of golf fans responded to the video on Twitter, furious that there was no early cry to warn the team that a ball was heading towards them.

“This is just terrible and unjustifiable. I really hope the man is fine. Anyone who hit him and didn’t scream” please “deserves to have my three iron wrapped around his neck …. (with my skill , that club is useless for me anyway) prayers for that boy! “said an angry golfer.
“I always cry for my playmates and I expect the same if I don’t see it while I hit, and if you don’t know where it is going, shout anyway .. The only time someone could fail to hear is if the wind is blowing strong .. I hope the boy is ok, he played a bang right! “
“Disgusting seen too many times on the field only the laziness of the players not to scream the professionals FORE USPGA does not help, but it shows the dangers that hope this boy is well.”
“Blimey! I hope the boy is fine. That’s why you should always shout FORE! Please take note of all the players on the PGA Tour! #Nobodyistoobigtoshout”
“Remember that my dad was talking about a guy who lost an eye in our club years ago after being hit.”
“Jesus, you should shout regardless of whether you think of someone there or not, as soon as you can’t see him scream FORE”
