Hit by a golfball?

I just got out of the hospital.. I was nearing the third teebox today when a stray ball from the 2nd hole tee came my way. I heard the "fore!!", looked up, and sure enough, there it was 5 feet from my hea.. WHACK! I got his with a ball that travelled around 170 yards to hit me square in the head, right above my hairline. It split my skin to the skull and i needed 5 stiches. I'm pretty proud of the fact that i didnt black out of puke, but it was close. I was absolutely soaked in blood. Lovely huh? Oh, and I've only been playing for 3 months, talk about discouragement. I mean, what are the odds??? I'll see if I can post a picture of the wound in the forums somewhere. I guess my question would be, does anyone see something wrong with one holes green being about 20 yards away from the next tee box with only a few 20 foot trees separating the fairways?
