Golfing Hazards!!!!

I went to the driving range today with my husband for some practice. So far, so good on a Sunday afternoon, right? Anyways...he sliced a shot and it hit my in the shoulder/armpit area. At least it wasn't my face or collarbone or baby belly, right? But it HURTS!!!! I am going to have a prize-winning bruise in a day or two. Right now it looks like a red and while bullseye- I could totally do Target ads with this thing. Moral of the story: wear full padding at the driving range????
