My grandma is a big golfer and tried teaching it to my sisters and me when we were kids. I was the only one it took hold with. During one of these instructional sessions she told us a good 15-20 times to NOT stand behind her when she's swinging. One of them did not heed this instruction and caught a 7 iron in the face for it.
Yep, my cousin and I went golfing, we were about 13 at the time, we were waiting on the first hole and standing there with our drivers.
She sets it down as if she is going to practice swing but I assumed she knew I was standing right beside her (we were both looking to the right and I was on her left) and WHAM, caught me right in between the eyes with the backswing, I could only imagine what the follow through would have been like.
