I understand the “assumption of risk” reasoning behind the danger of being on a golf course, but can you do anything if you get hit while working? I’m the beverage cart girl at my golf course and I was making a drink for someone on the 11th hole today while people were waiting to tee off on the 10th box. Usually, if there are people in close proximity, they wait. These people…not so smart. they hit me in the lower back with a line drive maybe 150 yards away. They yelled fore, but i was facing away from them and there was definately no time to even react. The next person then teed off and their ball came within 2 feet of me! I filed a report with my work, but i’m curious as to the legal action i can take. I have pain from my rib cage all the way down to my pelvis, as well as a huge knot on my spine. Is the only qualification workman’s comp? what is the best way to handle this? the department head didn’t even want me to file a report, but i did anyway
