I agree the physics of the damage don’t make a lot of sense. I would have expected the golf ball to get sliced up a bit and not come out like a projectile. However, I do disagree about the responsibility of the landscape company. They have an obligation to be sure there are no objects that would be spit out by a mower. think about this as if it were a rock instead of a golf ball. You expect landscapers to make sure they aren’t spitting out large rocks into traffic (at least I hope you do) and if the clmt really suffered cornea damage, then I don’t know that the size of the verdice was excessive. Sight is very important. He probably ended up with $400-$450 by the time all was said and done and that might be reasonable.
I wonder if the size of a golf ball and the speed at which it was expelled by the mower were the reason that the windshield didn’t react as normal (honeycomb).
Mike, man, switch to decaf already. It’s Friday for most of us and your hostility is killing the vibe.
Take a few deep breaths, go shoot a few squirrels, chant a mantra or twelve, play some Halo and chill.
Of all the posts to get somebody worked up I never would have expected it to be this one.
Time to work on my swing. If a mower can take out a driver under these circumstances I have to shoot for taking out a biker on the freeway goig 80. There’s a Bill Engvall joke in there somewhere.
Only a real ******* would mis-spell the word. I’m referring to you. Plus, have a little class when responding to a female. You obviously have some issues with your masculinity. Forget your meds today?
It seems an un-professional, dis-interested, foul mouthed, immature, clown is contaminating an otherwise civil forum with his mindless comments. Please do not respond.
My son would like to apologize for spewing his venomnous, juvenile, low class, foul-mouthed, stupid, ignorant, mindless comments. He is an idiot with obvious issues. He is not employed in the insurance industry (or anywhere else) and has no business commenting on issues that are beyond his comprehension. It is unfortunate that nobody kicked his a s s while he was in high school to prevent him from becoming the moron he is today. I hope you understand.
Safety Guy, allegedly, it was a range ball. Country Club probably had their name on it. Should have just had the stripe. Also, I’m surprised that mower didn’t cut ball in half. Must have been a defective blade. Possible subrogation opportunity!

Mike…….no need to show your immaturity and ignorance with the gutter language. If you have nothing to add to the blog…….go do something else.
