Happened this morning when walking my dog at the municipal park. It has a skatepark, playground, tennis club, softball fields, and to note -- a disc golf course.
With disc golf, some of the holes tee off and end near the foot paths that take you around the park. While there are signs in the general area that serve as a warning, people are usually aware of the disc golfers.
Anyways, I'm walking my dog and I see a group of golfers playing thru and they're throwing at a hole (that cage thingy) that's about 20 feet from the path. I stop just in case anyone over throws. Also, it's fun to watch.
I'm standing there and some grumpy old man is walking from the pickle ball courts at the tennis club to the parking lot. He has to walk up the path that I stopped at. I try to tell him, "sir, you might want to hold on, there's a group of..." he immediately cuts me off with, "out of my way, don't tell me where I can walk!" and trudges through without looking at his surroundings.
I just look at him as one of the discs sails long and connects with the side of his face and clocks him off his feet onto the wet grass. I see the coast is clear now and make my way to the parking lot. He's dazed and now angry and yells at me, "why didn't you warn me?!"
I looked at him and replied, "You told me not to tell you where to walk." Then proceeded on my way as he tried to get up and get his bearings while still cursing at me because all of that was me fault apparently.
