There was a course with a parking lott off the first fairway. Separating the fairway and the Lott is the access road to the Pro Shop. One day, a ball comes flying off the First tee, hits the rear window of a car, shattering it. The ball ricochets into the windshield of another car, and cracks that, then bounces and hits a golfer in the head as he is unloading his clubs. He has to be taken to hospital. After surveying the damage, Barry the Pro, asks each golfer as they walk of the ninth green, if anyone hit a slice off the first tee. After numerous negative replies, Barry finally finds his culprit. Kenny Mount admits that, Yes, he hit his first tee shot to the right, but believed it went out-of-bounds, so he and the rest of his group didn’t bother looking for it. Barry explained about the two car windows and the golfer in the hospital. By the time he finishes re-creating the scene, the entire foursome is visibly upset, and Kenny says, “Oh, that’s terrible, what can I do?” Barry say’s, “You should probably try rolling your hands a little to the right to strengthen your grip. “
