Reality 2,711 Posted October 2, 2018 Yep. Shes blind in one eye and all lawyered up. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/ryder-cup-fan-hit-koepka-225702076.html Don't love our litigious society but, you kind of have to when something like this happens. Somebody has to be liable when this sort of thing happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,941 Posted October 2, 2018 Im am 100% sure Id take someones eye out if ever presented with the opportunity to drive a golf ball anywhere near where fans lined the fairways. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,679 Posted October 2, 2018 Back of the ticket: Sucks for her, but oh well. They owe you nothing Yeah, standard bailment language. The same thing to find in the back of for example your long-term parking ticket or a baseball ticket. Same thing with hockey. The reality though is many of these are settled out of court. From a little bit I've heard about this biitch, I hope she gets nothing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted October 3, 2018 Normally, Koepka would sign his glove and give it to her along with a golf ball. Maybe sign her eye patch? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is just no lawsuit to be had. Fans at sports events go at their own risk. Who is she going to sue for this? The golfer? The golf ball? Did someone push her purposefully in line of the ball? A taco that someone may have been eating? Her doctor? Her therapist? The person who gave her the ticket? Herself for going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just having stuff on the back of the ticket does not absolve issues of negligence. There is a (justifiably high) burden of proof, but it could happen. Maybe Koepka was on drugs or was blind.

Maybe Koepka was on drugs or was blind. Or maybe he is a republican that hit a stupid liberal not paying attention.

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted October 3, 2018 People can sue people for anything. I just asked you who is she going to sue and for what? What did someone do wrong? If you read the article, it tells you that. I am not sure about French law, but: - organizers had narrow fairways even for golf standards - no one yelled or signaled of a wayward tee shot - she wants her medical expenses covered for current and future potential costs as a result of this - she is suing the organizers who made plenty of dough off the spectators Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUXBNME 1,354 Posted October 3, 2018 - no one yelled or signaled of a wayward tee shot you didn't read the whole article “Ball strikes are an occasional hazard for spectators but this kind of incident is extremely rare.We can confirm that ‘fore’ was shouted several times but also appreciate how hard it can be to know when and where every ball is struck if you are in the crowd. We are hugely sympathetic and will do everything we can to support the spectator, insofar as that is possible under very difficult circumstances.” 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are hugely sympathetic and will do everything we can to support the spectator, insofar as that is possible under very difficult circumstances. From where? If the guy at the tee says fore, she wont hear it. Have you seen what those guys do at the tee. Remember, we are talking about the French. If there is a ball coming there way, those cheese eating surrender monkeys are running for the hills long before they let other spectators know of a wayward tee shot. I am not saying her suit has merit. I am saying that dismissing it based on an article and info printed on the ticket doesnt mean sh!t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the s is ilent 69 Posted October 3, 2018 But they could have had safety netting lining every fairway to protect the patrons. Or provided helmets and goggles for everyone in attendance And instructed the players to not play in such a manner that would endanger spectators. Even if it effects scoring Clearly this is a case of negligence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
