Edwin Curtis got a lot more action than he was hoping for while sitting near the 18th green at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach, Florida. A big 230m drive from George McNeill veered off course and hit him on the fly, leaving an enormous bump.

Despite a bump that grew to be even bigger than the ball that cracked into his head, Curtis remained conscious and joked with McNeill before being taken to a local hospital for observation.

At the time, commentators were thinking that an ambulance would need to be called because of the painful injury this plant can cause and people rushed to help the man remove the cacti from his back. Be careful on the golf course!
