Playboy model's bruised bottom

If it did that much damage it must have been swung with a bit of force. Who is her legal firm? Ambulance & Chaser?

I think it's Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe.

Ok, I watched the video (and, oh, by the way, how could someone open up a topic like this, and have 2+ pages of posts, without any one supplying a link to the video? How in the name of all that is holy-in-one, can one make an intelligent determination of the impact of the golf club on her derriere, without going to the videotape? Forcing me to actually google something like that on my own is in direct contradiction of my Prime Directive, namely don't do anything that someone else can do, and probably better).

So, my own now-informed opinion is that the playboy model's lawsuit has little merit. She was laughing for a good 30 seconds after being struck by the errant (though i guess he could have been aiming for a piece of the cheek) swing. She didn't recoil in horror as her "assailant" tried to,interview her immediately after. And another woman in the background says something like she has a "little welt" there. Not the HUGE bluish bruise she has in the "later" picture.

I guess its conceivable that the bruise popped up afterward, internal injuries etc which caused it. I'm not a doctor, nor do i play one on tv or anywhere else, but it still seems unlikely that such a wimpy swing would produce such an ugly bruise. If i were on the jury, they would have to convince me otherwise, likely with several CSI-like demonstrations of bottoms being smacked with a variety of implements, in addition to close-up contact with the bottom in question. All in the name of justice, of course.

It's hard to judge with bruises anyway. A really nasty one can take a while to 'bloom' and that's generally because it's quite deep. My wife got smacked fair and square in the leg recently with a softball (there's nothing soft about that ball let me tell you) it was a hard hit and she was limping afterwards, yet it took a few days before we could see solid evidence of it. She even had a doctor look at it and he confirmed that it was a bruise, but it was bone bruising and deep.

Did we watch the same video? She screamed and spasmed a fraction of a second after he swung.

Whatever, its for the courts to decide.

You might be right SNM. Mostly, I was just joking around. Though i AM very disappointed that my idea of an ass- shaped golf tee is probably not going to fly now that this story is out. Pity; I had so many "hole-in-one" double entendres planned in my adverts.

Just looked at another copy of the video and it appears that the golfer isn't Kevin KLINE, the actor, but a comedian named Kevin KLEIN, which, at least makes me feel better about it. I like Kevin Kline and am glad he's not the type to do something so stupid and dangerous...

I'm puzzled. Assuming her bottom is the normal shape, the ball wouldn't stay in one place unless it was lodged in the central crack, in which case the bruise shouldn't be on one side unless the golfer missed the ball.

Golfing enthusiasts - which club would be best for getting a ball out of a bottom crack? A sand wedge? A putter?

Ok, I saw the video and the problem is obvious. Notice how he ends up with his weight on his right foot. This is very poor swing mechanics. It's called a reverse weight shift and what it does is make the club descend at too sharp an angle and hit behind the ball, and, er hitting behind is exactly what he did (as it were). With a good weight shift and clearing onto his left side with good follow through it needn't have happened at all. Next time have Tiger do it. (But then she might have a different problem). And another thing. Using a driver for that shot? Really? With the ball teed that low he should be using a 5-wood or a hybrid at most.

So if he was hitting from the green with an actual tee, he would've left a divot? Apparently, that's what happened, more or less. Lucky he didn't take a divot out of her cute little ass. I don't know if this was at a golf course or just in Hefner's back yard in Holmby Hills but if there were a pro around, even a club pro, he likely would have observed the guy's swing and prevented this injury, at least giving him the proper club...
