Near miss with a golf bag...

[Weegie]

Yes, you read that right - a golf bag.

There I am, halfway through my first ever 10 miler today, a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. Taking a rest on the pavement, halfway up the only serious climb on the route, enjoying the scenery.

Out of nowhere, a knackered old golf bag flies a few feet past my right ear, across the pavement, and lands on the grass. Followed by a rapidly accelerating Ford Focus, doing around 45mph.

I wish I were feeling good about my first 10 miler right now. Instead, I'm wondering what would have happened if I were hit on the back of the head by a 40mph flying golf bag.

Bleeding morons.

Hi Weegie - firstly well done on the 10 miles - looks like there's quite a few on here making a few personal bests lately, must be the great weather inspiring everyone to go out and have a go. But a golfback, ffs, at least the twats were original I suppose. Don't let it get you down though, pondlife and all that, you should be proud of your achievement.

Don't let it putt you off.You had ridden a fairway so a birdie tells me.

Be fore you know it the miles will be racing by.Don't let this incident be a handicap to your enjoyment of cycling.And don't forget tee and cake at your first cafe stop.

And there must be more golf terms that i do not know.
