NY court rules that golfer isn't liable if he hits someone with his ball and doesn't yell "fore" beforehand.

Something stinks with this case. I wonder if any of those appellate judges should have recused themselves, for frequenting the Dix Hills Club .

Really, if the guy were 20 feet away there wasn't time to yell anything anyway. A golf ball is traveling pretty fast when it is first hit, a guy like Tiger or Dustin Johnson has a ball speed of about 190 mph off their drivers -- meaning even if you are a hack the ball is moving pretty good at impact. So even though the guy shanked it the ball was still probably going fast enough that in 20 feet he couldn't have said anything in time.

Plus, unless you REALLY trust a person you are playing with, you should never walk ahead of them until after they are done hitting their shot.

Or don't play golf with Indians.
