I hope there is no lasting injury.  Pretty scary to see.

I hope he is fine.

Off-topic: The anecdote about the announcer's friend who suffered that injury is pretty interesting. I've never heard of that before, but I have worried about it. When I'm outside I'll only drink something I can put a cap on top of. Especially a round of golf where you leave your drink unattended many times during the course of 3-4 hours.

It looks like it didn't go straight into to the neck, but got caught a little on the bottom edge of the mask. Clearly still painful, but maybe got "lucky" that it wasn't a few millimetres over and miss the mask completely.

Tip to rookies: always keep your protection facing the ball! Gives you the best chance of it doing the job and protecting you.

And this is why I don't care what kind of mask you use, without a throat guard you are asking for trouble!!

I hope he's going to be ok. These are scary injuries.

I noticed the no dangler, but his replacement had one. 

Damn, that could kill a man getting hit in the throat.

My "drink" on s golf course doesn't last long enough for that to happen

I've gotten hit in the neck and it is not a good feeling. Hope he's ok.
