New Hampshire Golfer Sues Course over Eye Injury

February 9, 2009

A Manchester, New Hampshire man who lost an eye to a ricocheting golf ball is suing the golf course.

Sixty-seven-year-old Paul Sanchez sued Candia Woods Golf Links this week. In September of 2006, a ball he hit bounced off a yardage-marker and hit him in the right eye.

Sanchez argues the course did not warn him about the markers. He says they were too rigid to be safe for the course and improperly placed in the middle of the fairway.

Candia Woods is not commenting.
