A Bad Day Golfing is Better Than A Good Day's Work!
On Thursday I had my 4th term final exam which was full body injuries. My model was my wonderful mother. It was some great mother-daughter bonding; Mom sitting there all nice, while I made her look terrible. How sweet. I had to create a full character analysis about what happened to her and why she was injured.
While on vacation in Florida, Michelle decided to spend her afternoon golfing while her husband spent the day at the men’s club. During the 5th hole, Michelle got hit in the head with a golfball when another golfer forgot to yell “Fore”. A rather large goose-egg resulted in the impact of the golf ball hitting her forehead. The Florida heat sunk in and Michelle’s skin felt the effects. A slight sunburn appears on her upper body – shoulders, cheeks and nose.
Regardless, Michelle kept golfing. Unfortunately, being slightly off balance from the previous strike to the head, she took a tumble into the sand trap on the 10th hole while locating her ball. Her knees now covered in scrapes and dust, she stays strong and keeps golfing.
It was approximately 4pm in the afternoon when the weather took a turn for the worst. A storm appeared to be coming in the distance. As it moved closer and closer, Michelle still thought she had time to finish her last hole of golf. She was about to tee off on the 18th hole, holding her club, she was in the unlucky 10% of the population and was suddenly struck by lighting. The palms of her hands suffer from what look like electrical burns, and 1st degree burns up her arm from where the electrical voltage struck her. It looks like a branched pattern running up her forearms, with deeper burn marks in the crease of her arm bend where she was sweating. The heat of the electrical burn made her sweat turn to steam.
Luckily, another golfer saw Michelle fall to the ground and called an ambulance. The paramedic then came to pick her up, and examine her injuries.
Thanks for being such a great model, Mom!
