Yesterday I was hit on the side of the head by a golf ball at 3rd while
puttting my wetsuit. The impact knocked me off - it felt as if someone had
clubbed me from behind. An hour later I had a bruise the side of an egg
over my ear, at at the urging of my wife and local police I ended up at the
Sequoia Hospital emergency. Fortunately there seems to be no skull
fracture, although I still have a headache and should watch for symptoms
over the next days. The nurse who examined me initially told me a kid
could easily have been killed by such an impact.

This situation has now gone for long enough, with nothing being done
despite repeated incidents. - I WILL take legal action before anyone gets
killed. Could anyone on this list refer me to a good attorney? In the
meantime, I urge people who bring their kids to 3rd Av. to have them wear
bike helmets at all time.
