sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=5942382I gotta agree with the ruling, there was nothing intentional about hitting the shanked shot, there is inherent risk when playing. If the playing parter was behind the person hitting then no matter how poor the shot was it could not have hit him. I would feel different if it was someone hitting into another group, but even that is hard to prove. You have to do your best to pay attention, and sometimes you just suffer from bad luck, does not make it a law suit.

When I was just out of college I decided to take the PAT because at the time I was still up in the air about what I was going to do after college, so I took the PAT (passed it, finished 2nd) and figured that if I wanted to turn pro I could, if not...I was out whatever the fee was.
The only thing that held me back from shooting a lower score was one of the guys I played with on the first day.
This was '99 or so. He had brand new Taylor Made titanium woods, a brand new Scotty Cameron and what looked like some pristine '88 Hogan Apex Redlines (they may have been the '94 Ft. Worth Forged Apex Redlines).
On his first shot from the fairway, I pull up ahead of him, but well out of sight to his right (like we normally do in rounds of golf).
Shank.
Missed me by about 10 feet. He then gets up there and takes a double or so.
Second hole he pulls one about as far left as anybody I've ever seen.
3rd hole....shank-o-rino.....misses my head by about 2 feet.
After that I decided to stop getting out in front of him.
And he shot 122 and we spent hours on end looking for his golf balls.
