When I was 9 I was in a youth golf program that had a tournament at the end of the season. In that tournament I was walking away from the second tee box with my group after hitting our drives. The group following us started practice swings in preparation for their turn. One kid made the royally stupid mistake of teeing his ball up while he was doing his practice swings. He accidentally hit his ball just as I turned my head to look back at the tee box. I was maybe 30 yards away from him when his tee shot hit me squarely in the mouth. My bottom teeth bit through my bottom lip. I was bleeding profusely. I left the tournament, but my 9 year old self decided I was in good enough shape to hang around the pro shop and eat hot dogs until my mom came to pick me up at the normal time.
