A young local man was airlifted to hospital yesterday after being struck on the head by a golf ball in Inishowen.
The freak accident occurred during a round of golf at Greencastle Golf Club shortly after 4pm.
A spokesperson for Malin Head Coast Guard said they received a call at around 4:30pm after an ambulance attended the scene.
The Sligo-based Rescue 118 Helicopter subsequently airlifted the man, who was in his 20s, to Letterkenny University Hospital as a precaution.
The man’s condition is said to have improved considerably on the way to hospital and he is now believed to be making a speedy recovery.
