A golfer did not have a duty to yell “fore” or otherwise warn players nearby when firing off an errant shot that took out the eye of a playing partner, the New York Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.

Injured golfer Azad Anand assumed certain risks by voluntarily playing golf, such as being struck by a ball hit by his friend and fellow doctor Anoop Kapoor, the unanimous Court ruled in Anand v. Kapoor, 222.
