I'm not a golfer but I sat in the studio with a guy who did golf and listened to the stories of wayward shots. Happens to everybody, even the pros.
Rory McIlroy, who's a legit professional golfer, drilled his own father with a shot at The Masters.
Though it’s unconfirmed due to the mask, I’m pretty sure Rory hit his father with his approach on 7 😂 Hope the legend Gerry is doing alright #TheMasters pic.twitter.com/4l2JSsTwpq

I once tripped my dad while we were playing street hockey. I thought he was going to kill me. Rory's dad Gerry handled it much better than my dad but I'm not a multi-millionaire golfer. Gerry did have a great quote though.
Was standing on No. 7 when Rory flared one out to the right and hit his dad in the leg. As he limped away, laughing, he looked over at us and said, "I should ask for an autographed glove."
