Never happens at St. Andrews. Mind you, turn your head for five seconds (1.3 seconds if playing in Glasgow) and your bag of clubs is away.

It could be a $15000 medical bill for a rattler bite.

A friend went to california for a months golfing holiday and ended up having a heart pacemaker fitted - fortunately his insurance picked up the nearly $40k tab (it avoided the queue in the UK)- so yes golf is dangerous - even more so for non golfing colleagues who pass out from terminal boredom when the intricacies of the game are explained.

Golf is a great cure for insomnia. I tell my wife about it and she falls asleep.
