Litigation

First topic message reminder :

My club is being sued by one of the members. She went out to play over the Christmas period, and then slipped and fell on an icy path next to a tee box. She claims the club was negligent in its duty of care to provide a safe playing environment. On the day in question, the course had been closed in the morning due to frost but then opened later as the temperature had risen a little.

Personally I think it is a real shame that someone should choose to do this, I guess she had been watching too much daytime TV. Anyone going out to play in these conditions is well aware of the risks and should exercise common sense. I can only assume that from now on the course will be closed in these conditions to reduce the risk of this happening again. This is the way our society is going.

Davie, I was meaning it in a general sense. It seems de rigeur these days to not shout FORE and simply wave an arm. People see the pro's do it, and they copy it.

I quite like a really over the top shout of Fore, makes people fill their pants and it's quite funny to see them rush for sanctuary.
