1 wood to the face 
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
I was playing golf with a few friends over the weekend and witnessed an act of stupidity like no other. We had been drinking while playing, none of us are good golfers so a little booze olny makes things more interesting, and all four of us were a little tipsy, but not drunk, by the time we got to the 12th hole. We had been joking around on the previous holes by throwing little rocks at one another as we swung on the tee shot. The idea was to throw off one anothers shots but what happened next was really stupid.
My friend Tim stepped up to the tee bax and prepared to launch his tee shot on hole 12 when our friend Jay, instead of throwing something at him, jumped out in front of him. He didn't just jump in front of him, he actually did a belly flop of a sort and caught a 1 wood right to the face, full swing. Needless to say, the amount of damage was rather extensive. He lost a few teeth, his uper lip was mangled and needed to be stiched, and his nose was bleeding pretty bad. I'm not sure what possesed him to do this as it's obvious that not only would one be at risk of being struck by the club but a golf ball fresh off the tee is not something one would want to come in contact with.
I'm not sure this story is worthy of any award, as he did not remove himself from the gene pool, but it's rather amusing and somewhat funny to think that someone could be so stupid as to try to stop a golf tee shot with their face. He was trying to be funny and throw off Tim's shot but the olny place he threw it off to was direclty into his face. Submitted on 07/10/2003
