Today, my boss made me play golf with some executives of a company we're hoping to secure a business deal with, despite me having no golf training. My first swing ended up with me being rushed to the hospital. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was playing basketball in our company gym. I took a shot from half court, and at that exact moment, an executive walked into the gym with an important potential client. My shot bounced off the side of the backboard, off some bleachers, and right into the client's head. FML
Today, my boss had a "team-building" event, which involved a game of trust falls. As I fell backwards, my coworkers failed to catch me, and I crumbled onto the floor. I'm now spending the afternoon in the ER with a sprained ankle, and my boss called to check if I still trust the team. Great bonding experience, guys. FML
Today, while playing golf on a local course, my idiot of a friend decided to push his pushcart down a massive hill towards me. When he realized that I was going to be hit, he screamed for me to move, but it was too late. I collapsed to the ground in pain, all while he chuckled about the situation. FML
Today, I twisted my ankle during a round of golf, after trying to do a fancy jumping high five. FML
Today, I was hit in the head by a golf ball. I wasn't near a golf course, and nobody was anywhere in sight. I'm still trying to figure out what happened. FML
Today, I thought it would be funny to take an airhorn to a golf course and blow it while people were teeing off. It was very funny, until I blew the horn during some guy's backswing and his ball was shanked in my direction and hit me in the head. FML
Today, I found out that my boss was actually legally obligated to send me to the hospital after I was hit on the head while working. I had to finish the entire work day while heavily concussed, and by the time I got to the ER I had lost complete feeling in my right side. They asked me to come in the day after. FML
Today, I got into a bad car accident, where I got severe whiplash, swollen knees, and cuts everywhere. I called my boss to let him know I wouldn't be able to make it in and he fired me for being 'not dependable'. FML
Today, my boss made me give a presentation to several senior company officials about the serious financial losses our division has made this year. Barely an hour later, my boss had palmed all the blame off onto me and gotten me fired. FML
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML

Well they will certainly remember you, and you might get some sort of deal out of pity :D

A blow to the back of the head from being a little too eager in his swing? I mean really, usually golfing accidents occur to innocent bystanders standing nearby.

I'm curious as to how exactly OP landed himself in the hospital during a golf outing.. Please elaborate?

You may not have any golf experience, but injuring yourself so bad that you needed a hospital visit is a you deserve it situation. If you are is such poor shape and so badly not athletic that a single golf swing caused an E.R. trip then you need to get in better shape. Which is fully in your control so you deserve it!

Exactly what I thought. I'm horrible at golf but have, in no way, ever hurt myself.

Orrrr he could have been hit by someone else swinging the club.

To # 34. He said on his first swing. Not getting hit by someone else.

27 - You could be a phenomenal athlete in great shape, but if you have no idea how to swing a golf club it's pretty easy to pull a muscle. It's also possible he hit the ball and it ricocheted off a nearby object and hit him (I've seen that happened to experienced golfers). Without more information from OP, your vote of YDI is completely unfounded.

57- no it isnt, you are making up excuses for OP. If he really was in great shape, there would be no way he'd pull a muscle on his first swing

I agree. You don't need "training" to swing a stick at a ball that's sitting there on the ground. A pulled muscle doesn't send you to the ER, unless you're grossly out of shape. In which case, shame on you. YDI. If you're too uncoordinated to swing the club without hitting yourself in the back of the head, you're a useless human being. I could do it my first try when I was 4, with no "training" and I hated the sport. I'm not even athletic. And I highly doubt you managed to hit the ball hard enough at just the absolute perfect angle that it ricocheted back and hit you...so that's probably not how it happened. You might need training if you want to actually be good at golf, but you don't need it to be able to hit the ball without hurting yourself. That's something any able bodied person should have no problem with. All in all, this is a YDI post.

Exactly, 71. 27 was thumbed down for basically stating the same, meanwhile the individual who said that "he could've been hit by someone else swinging a club" was thumbed up.

That's what I was thinking, 16. Better for it to be OP than one of the big wigs though. That probably would have ended OP's career on the spot.

Probably struck himself in the back of the head in the backswing.

You have me wondering, what could have possibly happened to you?
