A claim of £750,000 as sports injury compensation is to be made by a novice golfer who injured his eye after being struck by a stray golf ball.
As a consequence of the accident, Anthony Phee, 44, of Sale, in Manchester had to have his damaged eye removed after it was struck by a golf ball while he was walking along a path between the sixth and seventh tee at the Niddry Castle golf club.
For the damages that resulted out of the accident, a compensation claim for £750,000 is now launched by Mr. Phee against the golf club and golfer James Gordon who fired the offending shot.
The court case continues while the liability for the accident remains an issue.
