Errant golf ball knocks out TN motorcyclist's teeth

Motorcycling has its hazards. Otherwise inoffensive everyday objects from small stones to birds and cut grass can turn your day from a pleasant ride in the countryside to a quick skid across the pavement. Just ask an unnamed husband and wife who were recently cruising along in Tennessee. The couple were riding down South Church Street in Murfreesboro when a golf ball from a nearby golf course came sailing through the air and busted out the woman's teeth. According to police, the man reported seeing the ball bounce across the road and into his wife's face.

Surprisingly enough, she kept her machine upright and was soon transported to a local hospital for treatment. Officers located the wayward golfer, who admits he saw his ball fly toward the road, at which point he heard screams. The police also searched for the ball in question and found several, though none had any evidence of dental work.
