Best wishes for Malcolm. A hero of mine for many years since I was a kid.

After surviving the danger of winning record number of races to be taken down by a golf cart driven by his golfing partner is the worst.
Hope his injuries quickly heal and he soon returns to enjoying his retirement.

Who said golf wasn't a contact sport?

Let's hope for a speedy recovery.

That really stinks! Malcom Smith is one of the greats. I hope he is ok. I am doing a dual sport rally in two weeks (Cathouse Crawl). Going to keep an eye out for rouge carts....

I've met him several times in Baja, super nice guy. Hope for a swift recovery, it would suck to get taken out on the golf course after all he has done.

Golfing, golf carts and drinking are all great fun until someone gets hurt!

The only sport i know where the venue operator sells drinks to vehicle drivers and allows drunk driving :bounce:

Golf can be deadly. I've torn rib cartilage in a fall from a speeding golf cart (two untouched adult beverages were also tragically lost in that mishap), got a wicked hematoma when I was hit in the thigh by someone else's errant tee shot (lesson learned: hit the deck when you hear "fore!"), and knocked myself out cold with a Ping Eye putter (don't even ask). You gotta be careful out there. :O

Hope Malcolm gets well soon. His performance in "On Any Sunday" gave me the dirt biking bug when I was a kid.

He got run over by his golf partner! If I was investigating that accident, I would want to know just how much they had wagered on that round. :o

I hope he makes a full, and speedy recovery!

I hope he makes a speedy recovery. Same here with "On Any Sunday". I still watch it every few months.

The word "golf" was created because all other four-letter words were already taken.

Probably behind the cart putting his driver up after winning the longest drive bet.
Hope he is back in action soon.
