A Bizarre Golf Death on This Day in History

 

This day in history: 16 year-old Jeremy Brenno was playing golf when he hit a bench out of frustration with his club. This caused the club shaft to break, bounce back, and pierce his heart, killing him.

Golf deaths are rare but not uncommon. A six-year-old girl died on golf course in Utah in 2019 after being hit in the head by her dad’s golf ball.

It is lightning however that kills most golfers. Between 2006 to 2016 nine golfers died from lightning strikes.
