A golfer who is being sued by a spectator who claims he was hit on the head with a golf ball and knocked unconscious during a tournament has told the High Court it was a good shot.

Kevin Le Blanc who has represented Ireland many times and turned professional for over a year before leaving golf said he did not see a reason to call ‘fore’ as a warning when he took the shot.
