Sports Court

Is a golfer liable for slicing his ball and sending it sideways into the eye of his partner standing to his right, instead of on to the green straight ahead?

No, said the Missouri Appellate Court, because "no player has ever achieved such perfection in the game that he does not occasionally hook or slice a ball...To hold that a golf player was negligent because the ball did not leave in a straight line, as intended by him, would be imposing upon him a greater duty of care than the Creator endowed him with faculties to carry out."
