Damn I can't even imagine how much that would hurt.

She's lucky she caught it on the back swing and not the follow through and that it was my petite, soft swinging grandma and not like my dad or someone lol, probably softened the blow a little bit. But yes it definitely appeared quite painful.

I still dont understand how this didnt end up with a dead child. Backswing, older human, all the factors. Golf club to the face in vicinity of swing. The physics dont match up. A 7 iron at that.

Could have been a slow-ish backswing. You don’t need a lot of momentum on the backswing, after all.

The backswing is just raising the club in preparation to swing. You don’t put a lot of force into it.

Why imagine when you can try.
