Fear of golf
A long time ago, when I was six, (Very long time!) I got hit in the mouth with a golf club, and I got 10 stitches, 5 on the outside, and 5 on the inside of my mouth. I lost TONS of blood. Ever since, I've been freaked out at the very mention of golf. Is this normal? And how do I get over this?

Golf rocks!(in my opion) If you don't want to play golf and none of your friends play then I don't think you should worry about it much. This is normal.

It's normal. When I was about 4 I fell down the stairs at my grandma's place, and hit my lip on a metal stair edge and I had to get a lot of stitches. So since then I'm always scared of going down stairs that have metal edges. Even though I don't remember the accident.
I think you should play some golf games on a PS3 or Xbox or whatever...even internet..then watch a bit of golf on tv..and then eventually go on a mini-golf course with a friend. Try to overcome this fear step by step. But don't force too much on yourself in one go.
Good luck! :)

Of course it's normal. It must have been a very traumatic experience for you.
but you must remember, although accidents do happen, the chances of it happening again are around 0.1%!
If I were you, I'd actually face my fear, because sometimes it's best to be thrown in at the deep end.
Watch golf on TV, go and watch people play golf.. you'll eventually realize it's nothing to live in fear over.

Yes it's normal. Almost everyone is haunted by a fear that originated in the past. How do you get over it? You just have to realize that things happen when you're younger because you aren't as coordinated as you are now. Over time, the fear will eventually wear away as you realize that the chances of that happening are slim. Plus, obviously the accident wasn't bad enough to kill you, considering you are alive and, I assume, perfectly healthy today. So even if it did happen again, you'd heal and be fine again :) Hope I helped!
