AUSTIN (CN) - A woman who was knocked unconscious by a golf ball while celebrating her birthday in her back yard sued a golfer and golf club for negligence, claiming the golfer merely wiped her blood off the ball as it "gushed" from her head, and continued on his round.
Maureen A. Percenti sued Craig Rooker, of Austin, and Noram Management LLC dba the Grey Rock Golf Club, in Travis County Court.
Percenti was celebrating her birthday in April 2013 when she was knocked unconscious and blood "began gushing" from her skull, she says in the lawsuit.
"Soon thereafter, defendant Rooker walked up to the backyard of the property looking for his ball," the 28-page complaint states. "He had been playing Hole 1 on defendant Grey Rock's golf course. Plaintiff's son-in-law told defendant Rooker that his golf ball had hit plaintiff in the head and directed him to the ball, which was covered in blood. Defendant Rooker wiped plaintiff's blood off of his ball and continued playing his golf game."
