Tiger Woods threw his club after bad tee shot.

[Deuce]

I would have loved to have been there to get hammered by it. Imagine the cash flow after that.


Is it on the ticket though like other event where if you get hit with an object they aren't liable? This is different than a ball or bat or puck though, I imagine Tiger would take care of you after the fact still.

[poker_dummy101]

i would like to have seen it.. was it a throw or a toss?

[pavyracer]

If it was me Deuce I would have thrown it back at him and start a fight like in Happy Gilmore.

[Fishhead]

It will be a disgrace if this chump beats Jacks record of majors won.


I really do not like the guy.

Paver you're about as tall I hear as that big fukk in HG.

Thanks..

Nothing new from him.. hes been known to slam it in the ground with it bouncing in some direction

Not that Im sticking up for his actions, but we have to remember how many old greats were just like him on the golf course

They actually are still liable by law. Whether it be your car getting smashed up in a parking lot and the parking pass says the lot owner of the lot isn't liable, or getting hit with a foul ball at a MLB game and the game ticket says the team/stadium isn't liable....they absolutely are. However, it's practically free to print this on the tickets, and it steers something like 90% of people away from taking any legal action because the victim thinks they have to assume responsibility...I mean it was printed on a ticket.

whom are you speaking about? Jack slammed down and threw his clubs? (not to mention the cursing that comes from tigger).

[jjgold]

Tiger is best player of all times, he is very competitve.

Before him.. Bobby Jones was known for his temper.. I think he even got suspended by the USGA because of it.

Some guys would show up drunk or hungover Walter Hagen being one... this was golf became even remotely interesting by the public so people don't remember it and like to think of them as gentleman.

He has the fire in his eyes

wrong. absolutely wrong. I hope you're not a lawyer. assumption of risk doctrine, etc.

a sports spectator has a duty to protect himself or herself not only against the dangers of which he or she has actual knowledge but also against such dangers incident to the game as would be apparent to a reasonable person in the exercise of due care. Courts look at whether the injuries to the spectator were foreseeable. If they were, the team/complex/owner will not be held liable for any injuries as long as they have not fulfilled certain duties.

so the only example you can kinda come up with is a guy who stopped playing professionally before the television was invented? (1948). solid.

I hope you are joking.

Jesus Christ they do it all the time.

I was at the Bellsouth Classic in Duluth when Woody Austin broke his club and threw it in the woods on a tee shot.

Davis Love hit a sprinkler head (I believe at Bay Hill) for Arnies tourney and water starting shooting up.

There are millions of fukkin examples

I was just giving you examples of all time greats.. who knew you would be so ignorant that you needed only recent people

yeah but you said "old greats," eg, which implies that Jack and Arnie acted like that. But they didn't, and were known as complete gentlemen on and off the course.

I didn't know you considered Davis Love and Woody Austin to be old greats.

[Fishhead]

Tiger is a elovic scientest........nuff said.

Quit digging yourself into a hole, pal. You must think your e-pene is huge by the way you answer everyone in a smartass way

I just named you two old GREATS that acted in a certain way.. you said two that were not. thats 50/50 FOR GREATS.. NOW you just want them in the TV era.. give me a break

besides arnie is much like elvis in that regard.. smoking on tv while playing etc etc he set standards but when he first came on the scene ..he was not liked by many because of him doing that

[accuscoresucks]

bad sportsmanship im dissapointed in this young chap

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

clear that your level of intellect is not quite high enough to warrant continuing responses from me after this one.

fact of the matter is that tigger's behavior is not proper, and other greats before him absolutely DID NOT carry themselves like he does on the course. everyone hits bad shots in golf...

read the facts then get back to me.. fukkin idiot

[poker_dummy101]

because i come at you with facts you say my level of intellect is not high enough... is this what you say when you are pointed out as wrong time and time again?

[Boner_18]

Well.... He isn't exactly wrong, just not on point. The statement on the ticket is a contract of adhesion and probably not valid, and as you say the standard is reasonable care but in some states (NY for example) assumption of risk is dead. Comparative fault would likely mitigate some liability but I doubt it would exculpate the player/team from all liability... And with a club toss you get into a whole different realm of intentionality (though this could just go towards forseeability)...

So i guess this is why we have attorneys, if it were cut and dry you would never be able to find representation for both parties..
