WATCH: Golfer gets a nasty bump on his head after being hit by a golf ball!
Luckily he was saw the funny side, but that's a seriously nasty bump on the head!
Golf fans have reacted to a viral video on social media of a golfer showing off a nasty bump on his head after he was struck by a golf ball.
If you've been hit by a golf ball before then you'll be fully aware that it can be pretty painful and in some cases - like the one you're about to see - fairly dangerous.
Personally, I've been struck by a ball on two occassions and thankfully neither of them hit me on the head. The first happened when I was pretty young playing golf with my Dad and when a ball came flying towards us, he picked me up in an attempt to get me out of the way, but instead put me right in the firing line as the ball struck my leg. Thinking about it, maybe he was using me as a shield and lied about trying to get me out of harm's way...

The second time was when I was playing golf with a friend in my teens and although he was and still is a solid golfer, he managed to shank an iron shot straight at me and without warning, but I waled away with a little bruise on the arm. No big deal.
But for the golfer in this video, it looks like he's lucky to still be conscious...
