After we went fishing, we met Dave and Andrew, Dave and I went to Sammon's in Temple to play some golf.  I've shared some golf stories before, and it is well-known that I suck.  I've done some crazy things like accidentally throwing a club into the water, and now I have another one to add...

I hit Dave with a golf ball.  It was a total accident. I was lining up a 9-iron shot while Dave was searching in the stream for his ball.  A 9-iron is supposed to give you a really high arch, but mine went like a drive...straight at Dave.  I hollered, Andrew hollered, but to no avail.  Lots of thoughts went through my head like:

  • He'll be killed, and I'll get life in prison
  • It'll hit him in the eye and he'll be blinded
  • Maybe he'll pull a Matrix maneuver and avoid it completely.  The ball will continue and go right in the hole.

Nope.  It hit him right in the front side of his elbow.  He's doing fine now, and it looks much better.  I felt really bad.  He had to play trombone at church the next day.  I thought his career might be over, but it's fine.  I even found out he was bragging that he had been hit.

Anyway, I had some nice shots, like a 45-foot putt, and a drive on a par 4 that put me inches from the green (which then took me another 5 strokes to get it in the hole).  It was a blast.

Just wanted to update everyone on my injury. It has been nine days since Mark "accidentaly" pegged me with a golf ball (thankfully his aim was off and he missed the fatal head shot and instead mildly tenderized my forearm). The impact point (what you see on the picture above) is still faintly visible, and tender to the touch. However, there was an odd development 3 or 4 days ago. A large yellow (think jaundice here) bruise-like formation appeared along side the impact point, and disappeared a day later. It was obviously related to the "accident," but I have no idea why it would just show up then disappear. Any thoughts from the millions of medical professionals that read this blog?

Hi everybody! Well, Dave. It appears that, without knowing it, Mark destroyed a pocket of pure evil that was living in your arm. The little yellow spot was its final attempt to live. When it disappeared, that was the end of the evil. So you should thank Mark for destroying the evil within you.
