Golfer's lawsuit is no gimme at appeals court
HUNTINGTON WOODS (AP) -- Here's a tip as golf season approaches: Watch out for another player's clubs.
Ronald Blakney sued another golfer after he was struck in the face while walking to the first tee on a foggy morning at Rackham Golf Course in Huntington Woods.
The 65-year-old Blakney accused Brad Dery of negligence, but an Oakland County judge dismissed the case. Now the Michigan appeals court is also leaving the Southfield man in the rough.
The court upheld the dismissal last week when a three-judge panel said Dery wasn't reckless while practicing and warming up in summer 2006. The court says it was "within the normal bounds of conduct" at a golf course.
