South Korean Supreme High Court has fined a Korean golfer for a weird shot that landed his caddie in a hospital for two weeks.
According to the court, that fler was at the 3rd hole at a club in Gunsan Province in Korea. During his mighty swings, he slipped and lost his footing and sent the ball behind him & struck his caddie stomach. ( i think he score at least triple bogey for that hole)
The court ruled is as a violation of duty of that fler to prevent injury ti other persons while playing a sport.
That fler tried to fight and compared to other sports such as boxing etc.
The court says" In the event such boxing or judo, injury to the opponent is to be expected so there is that mitigating circumstances"
The sad thing is, the fler has been fined KRW2.0M( 1 South Korean won = 0.000678 U.S. dollars) for his triple bogey. I wonder how much he lost his side betting that day!!!
