If the ball took a bad hop and hit the fielders glove and then hit the fielder, there would not be an error and the batter would get credit for a hit. However if the fielder had the ball glance of the heel of his glove and come up and hit him in the face because he misplayed it, it should be scored as an error. To answer you question. Like any hit/error decision, this is soley up to the decision the Official Scorer makes. It is his job to determine whether the play should have been handled correctly and recorded an out, or if, the batter deserves a base hit.
** In MLB an injury will not stop the play until the play is over. i.e if an outfielder rolls an ankel going over a ball, they will not stop the play due to his injury, someone else will need to field the ball or all runners will score and then the play will end
When was the first golf cart built?
The first golf cart in the US to be sold was sold to Andrew Denver Coppidge of Topeka, KS on March 27, 1943 by Golf-Cart Industries of Kansas City, KS. The golf cart was powered by gasoline and had a 2 HP motor. The top speed was 4 mph and the body was made entirely of wood. The wheels were solid steel discs.
The golf star who held a news conference in 2010 to issue a formal apology was Tiger Woods. This event took place in Florida, where he addressed the media regarding personal issues and controversies surrounding his life. Woods was the youngest player to achieve the Grand Slam in golf, accomplishing this remarkable feat in 2000.

What year did they make first flight golf clubs?
First Flight was a premium brand of golf clubs made up until the early to mid sixties. There was a former pro named Tony Penna that had much to do with the design of these clubs and the ownership of that company and they were sold exclusively in pro-shops at the time, being there were no huge sporting goods chains at the time such as Dicks Sporting Goods or Sports Authority. Arnold Palmer had endorsed these clubs in some manner but desired to sign a big endorsement deal with Wilson Sporting Goods when his contract ran out with First Flight. Sears came along and offered Arnie a large sum of money to put his name on some cheap department store clubs that were sold at Sears for something like $69. The deal ruined First Flight, drove them into bankruptcy. Arnie only took care of Arnie, nobody else. Ask anyone what caused the demise of First Flight and they'll tell you it was Arnold Palmer. Many of the First Flight irons designed by Penna are considered collectors items today if in reaonably good condition.

What schooling is needed to become a caddie?
If you call a local golf course that has a caddy program, they will sign you up for three to four days of caddy lessons where you will be taught how to caddy by the caddy master, or assistant golf pro. Then you'll take a test and depending on your score youll become an offical caddy.
What is the average handicap for a 16-year-old?
The average handicap is probably around 23. There will be players who shoot over 100 consistently but are not that serious about golf. Then there are others who play a lot who get into the low 80's. With that said, shooting about a 95 is a good average handicap.
Golf buggies can be purchased via online retailers such as Amazon. They can also be purchased from sports specific retailers, such as UK Sportim Ports or a vehicle retailer, such as Golf Buggies Direct.

How many holes on a golf course?
There are usually 18 holes in a golf course; some have 9 holes or some multiplier of 9 holes. I have played at golf clubs with 9, 18, 27 and 36 holes. However, a standard "round of golf" at most golf clubs / courses involves 18 holes.
What type of paint is used to paint a golf ball?
You should go to a craft store and purchase fabric paint. Just make sure to wash jersey inside out.
How do I use a golf distance finder?
Unobstructed View
Stand in the fairway next to your ball with a clear view of the hole. Hold the golf scope up to your eye.
Line up the bottom of the flagstick with the horizontal line marked "Green" in your viewfinder.
Read the numbers that are lined up with the top of the flagstick. That is your yardage. Select the golf club that corresponds with that distance and take your shot.
Obstructed View
If the base of the flag is obstructed and the course you are playing has striped flagsticks, line up the bottom line in the golf scope with the lowest visible stripe of the flagstick.
Find the number lined up with the top of the flagstick.
Multiply the number of stripes you can see on the flag by the number lined up with the topic of the flagstick. Then divide by eight. As an example, if the number of stripes you see is five, and the distance you measured in the golf scope was 140 yards, the distance is 87.5 yards.
Tips
If your course does not have striped flagsticks and you can't see the base of the pin, the golf scope will not be accurate. Most golf scopes measure in yards and meters. Clean your golf scope with a clean, damp cloth after each round. Blow out any visible dust before you wipe it down.

How do you stop slicing the ball in golf?
Easier said than done. No, really, slicing can be corrected and I will attempt to give you the reasons why the ball slices. With this knowledge you will be able to correct the problem and you will start to really enjoy what it feels like to play golf without the dreaded slice. For right-hander's a slice is where the ball takes off and veers to the right. For left-handers it veers to the left. I am only going to describe the reasons for slicing from the right-hander's perspective. Lefties can apply the descriptions from an opposite perspective.
There are several reasons for slicing: Swing plane, club-head path, and grip. These can combine in different degrees and add to the severity of the slice. So let's get on with the explanations and what can be done to correct them.
Swing Plane. The swing plane is the most common cause of a slice. First, let me attempt to describe what is a swing plane. If you take a driver and a PW and hold them both at an address position, it is very obvious that the head of the PW is closer to you than the driver. The swing planes for each of these clubs have to be different. Drawing a line from the clubhead and extending it through the shoulder joint area forms the plane. When creating the swing, the club must be swung along this plane to be effective. With the PW, the plane is steeper or more upright. With the driver, the plane is flatter. The planes for all the other clubs in the bag fall in between the PW and Driver swing planes. Most people slice their driver because they try to swing the driver on the same swing plane as the PW.
An upright swing plane will cause the ball to veer right because it produces an outside-in clubhead path. By flattening out the swing plane, the clubhead path changes from an outside-in path to an inside-inside path, or it can change it to an inside-outside path, creating a draw. Don't be taken aback by the clubhead path jargon -- they only refer to three different directions that the clubhead travels before and after the ball in relation to the target line. So an inside-inside path describes the clubhead traveling from inside the target line to the ball and going back inside the target line after hitting the ball.
Bottom line is that a modification to the swing plane causes the clubhead path changes. Too steep a swing plane will cause the ball flying to the right. Too flat a swing plane will cause the ball flying to the left. Finding the correct swing plane will cause the ball to fly straight. Adjusting the swing plane changes clubhead path and the ball flight.
Although swing plane and clubhead path go hand in hand, they are not the same. Swing plane is how the club swings around you to create the plane. Clubhead path is how the clubhead travels to and through the ball or impact area.
Grip.
The third cause of slicing is the grip. Grip can be applied in three different ways, causing three different results in the ball flights. I am not talking about the different grips such as interlocking, overlapping, or the 10-finger grip but I am talking about how the grip is applied in relation to the bottom edge of the clubface or aiming edge. The three applications of the grip are neutral, strong, and weak. The aiming edge should be perpendicular to the target line when applying each grip. The neutral grip is where the thumbs are over the top of the club and the V's formed by the thumb and forefinger point to the chin area. The strong grip is where the hands are rolled to the right so the V's are pointing between the right side of the face and shoulder. The weak grip is where the hands are rolled to the left so the V's are pointing between the left side of the face and shoulder.
What effect does the grip have on the ball flight? A weak grip will leave the clubhead open during impact so the ball will fly right. A neutral grip will leave the clubhead square during impact so the ball will fly straight. A strong grip will leave the clubhead close during the impact area so the ball will fly left.
Now that you know a little about what causes ball flights, how do you start to make the corrections? When making changes, do only one change at a time. You want to see the effect of each change so you know how it affects the ball flight. If you start to make a swing plane change with a grip change, you won't know for sure what change corrected the ball flight.
The best way to proceed in correcting a slice is to make a swing plane change. Start to go flatter on the swing plane. You can tell when you are at the correct swing plane by checking the angle of your shaft at midpoint through the backswing. The shaft should be pointing somewhere along the target line. Another thing to do is just make the swing and observe the ball flight. If the flight straightens out, you found the correct swing plane. If the ball flight is left you made too much of an adjustment. If the ball flight is still slicing, continue to flatten the swing plane.
If the swing plane changes do not correct the ball flight, then check your clubhead path. Make sure that the clubhead is moving in a inside to inside path. Although the swing plane is correct going back, some people have a tendency to make a casting movement which causes and outside-in clubhead path.
The last thing to check is the grip. Is the grip allowing the clubhead to square up at impact? You can make some modifications to strengthen or weaken the grip. These modifications change the clubface angle during impact and thus modifies the ball flight.
The explanations are simplified and each individual has different inherent characteristics that prevent them from creating the proper swing plane. Most people can correct the slice just by the instructions above, however if you are still slicing after trying the instructions or if you are a beginning golfer, see your club professional. They can help you to enjoy the game by correcting the slice or any other faults that's keeping you from becoming a better golfer.
To put it as simple as possible, during your whole swing until your finish, your hands should be touching your waist and your waist has to turn like crazy until your chest is aiming way left of your target before you hit the ball.
