Question:

Hello, I’m a student at the University of Zurich. For my diploma, I am researching the different kinds of sports related accidents. Therefore, I would like to know if there are any statistics on golf accidents, i.e. being hit by a ball or so. If you have reliable information on this, I would very much appreciate if you could tell me about it. Best regards, Chris

Perhaps the National Golf Foundation – www.ngf.org I would think a major insurance underwriter which covers/protects golf courses should have a good grasp of these kind of statistics.   Regards, Paul

Dear Chris, Try checking with the National Golf Foundation ( www.ngf.org ). I am also doing similar research for a book on golf risk management. Would you be interested in comparing research results? I am a forensic safety investigator and consultant conducting personal injury, wrongful death, and product liability safety investigations and consults on legal safety issues for attorneys and businesses. I am also a recognized expert in the golf and cycling industries. Best regards, Stuart Winsor PO Box 921 Fairview, OR 97024-0921 USA Telephone:  011-1-503-492-8783
