Woman struck by golf ball files suit, alleging design flaw in Beach course

VIRGINIA BEACH
A woman who was felled by a ball while watching her boyfriend play golf in the summer of 2006 is suing the Owl's Creek Golf Course for $1 million.
Crystal Timpanaro of Emerson, N.J., was hit in the left temple and eye by a stray golf ball and seriously injured, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court in December.
Timpanaro was sitting in a golf cart near the 16th tee on Aug. 24, 2006, when a golfer at the 17th hole shanked a drive that hit her, the lawsuit said.
In the suit, Timpanaro blamed the golf course owners and claimed that the 16th and 17th holes are poorly designed. The lawsuit also claims that Owl's Creek should have warned golf spectators about the hazards of the sport.
