SNOWBALLING PUTS OLIVER WILSON OUT OF GAME FOR SIX WEEKS

FROM THE DAILY TELEGRAPH WEBSITE
The latest in a long line of bizarre injuries to professional golfers was revealed when England's Oliver Wilson tweeted that he would be out of the game for six weeks following a snowballing incident.
Wilson was meant to be on a plane to Dubai this week, but a bizarre injury to his wrist after slipping to avoid a "deadly snowball" put paid to that.

"Did it avoiding a deadly snowball, slipped in the snow. If I'd known I'd get injured at home, might as well have gone skiing!" tweeted Wilson.

It left him with a broken wrist and six weeks on the sidelines.

Spanish golfer Miguel Ángel Jiménez broke a leg in a ski-ing accident recently and is expected to be out for at least five months. The 48 year–old, who became the oldest winner in European Tour history when he won in Hong Kong in December, was in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Andalucia in southern Spain on when he broke his right leg in a fall. 
"I lost control and fell," Jiménez said. "I felt a huge stab of pain and I knew straightaway I had broken something."

Former US Open champion Graeme McDowell suffered a freak injury in December when he caught his right hand in a Chinese hotel door. He blamed it on sleep walking, revealing: “I woke up out of this dream, standing in a hotel-room door, in my boxer shorts, and three seconds later I had the most searing pain in my right hand. I have no idea what happened.”
