IT’S ALWAYS SOMEONE ELSE’S FAULT
02.05.09
A golfer who lost the use of an eye when his own shot ricocheted and hit him in the face is finally getting the justice he deserves, as he is now suing the country club where it happened.
Paul Sanchez, a 67-year-old “occasional” golfer… was golfing with two or three friends in September 2006 when a ball he hit bounced off a yardage-marker and “whacked him” in the right eye, according to his attorney, Barry M. Scotch…
In the lawsuit, Sanchez faults the course’s owners for failing to warn him about the markers… Sanchez is seeking unspecified damages, claiming the markers were made of material too rigid to be safe for the course… He also blames the mishap on a lack of warning about the markers and improper placement in the middle of the fairway.
Jesus. Does every GD thing in this country have to have padding and warning labels now? Litigious pussies like this guy are why I can’t set bear traps at the playground any more.

Excellent point.
Also, I am suing Uproxx because reading and commenting on WithLeather prevents me from doing my job.
Class action. Im in on it too.
He shouldn’t have been standing there.
Hell he’s 67. That eye has some mileage on it.
SSGT Barnes is right, he should have to pay some kind of betterment.
After all, it’s a wear and tear item.
That’s a peach, hon!
Or maybe he should keep an “eye” out for yard markers in the middle of the fairway.
Thanks for the green fee.
By the way, the yardage markers may cause injury if you:
A. Shoot golf balls at them
B. Trip over them
C. Look at them
D. Taunt them…
after doing a little digging, it appears that Mr. Sanchez is a bit litigious. recent actions include suing Tropicana because its canned prune juice didn’t warn him that he might shit himself, seeking compensation from Ford Motor Company because the turn signals don’t automatically turn off, and filing a claim against the city of Baltimore because of all the god damn negroes who kept “sassing” him.
By mere coincidence, my penis features padding*, a warning label**, and yardage markers***
*not true
**true, by order of the CDC
***call me ladies, and find out for sure!
/thinking of changing name to Barry M. Scotch
the price is wrong bitch. i hope this guy get herpes.
Eye socket inventory:
1. An eye in one.
2. A hole in one.
My warning label says:
May cause Pregnacy and/or blindness
This type of thing is what happens when you let an old guy on the golf course.
The ball washers weren’t meant for that.
too rigid to be safe for the course.
I swear, I get one hard-on at the 5th tee and all of the sudden I’m not “Augusta material”. Whatever.
Get me Barry Scotch!

When your lawyer’s name is “Scotch” he has to be good.
