You see? It’s not hard at all to make golf entertaining. Just incorporate football players and the occasional head injury to bystanders that, in turn, result in incredible shots.

Texans quarterback Matt Schaub inadvertently helped new golf fan Sally Capehart learn first-hand the dangers of attending a celebrity golf tournament on Sunday.
Capehart was watching the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship from about 10 yards left of the par-3, 17th green bordering Lake Tahoe when Schaub’s tee shot hit her square on top of her head.
“Are you serious?” Schaub said as he arrived at the green.
“I’m so sorry. I had no idea I hit somebody,” he told the woman.
Schaub autographed a golf ball for Capehart, who clearly was in pain for several minutes. She told paramedics she thought she was all right but had some ringing in her ears and took their advice to go the hospital as a precaution.
“I was watching the shot through my binoculars, and I saw it and yelled ‘Watch out.’ I ducked and my husband ducked but she didn’t duck,” Zogorski said.
The good news for Schaub was the ball bounced off Capehart’s head onto the green.
