Hit it back to them.

While hitting into someone is inexcusable, it can legally be seen as an accident. Hitting it back at the offender is assault.

If you hit someone, it becomes a "battery", if someone dies, it is murder, unless you can plead down to voluntary manslaughter.

Pulled from an e-mail I received.

Hiroshi Tango of Brea, California died at Loma Linda University Medical Center 9 days after being hit in the head by a stray ball. Hiroshi sustained the ball strike on Oct. 7, while playing golf at Los Serranos Country Club, North Course in Chino, California.

Let's all get over ourselves and yell fore when we have to - even if you aren't sure people are in the path of your mishit.
Not that this poor guy had a chance against a tee shot at 20 yards away, but I'm just saying, in general and for all our sakes, let everyone know you hit a bad shot before your ball does.

I'm sure every one here has been hit or been close to being hit by a golf ball. I went through the situation where a guy hooks a high iron on a par 3 and lands about 3 feet behind me. I yell that they need to say fore and it turns into a yelling match. I'm annoyed and it ruins my entire round and my blood pressure shoots through the roof. After that, I've been good about not doing that again and have been patient. But lately, there have been times where I'm close to being hit 3 or 4 times in a round, sometimes in consecutive holes. What's a good way to handle the situation? Usually I just look at them and put my hands up...sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. What would you guys do if it happened to you 3 times in a row and the guys behind clearly arent getting the idea?

I just played a round and the guys hit into us 3-4 times when we were in the middle of the fairway. We heard them hitting the balls when we were in range but they were not close so I dismissed the first two. Then one dropped next to us and started to realize that they were deliberately hitting into us. I told the Marshall and he said he would talk to them. He didn't do anything and gave me a blank stare. Then they hit into us on 16th and 18th. Hitting into people 3 or 4 times in one round when you are in the middle of the fairway is way to excessive to be accidental. Some petty worthless folks just with nothing better to do.
