Condi applies diplomacy after nailing spectator in head with golf ball

2/8/2013

Condoleezza Rice might want to book a few extra lessons at the exclusive Augusta National Golf Club. The former secretary of state shanked a ball Thursday, sending it 50 feet in the wrong direction and smack into a spectator's head at Pebble Beach. But Condi gets rave reviews for her well-honed diplomatic skills, rushing over to the injured woman, supplying a white towel to staunch the blood from a gash above the bridge of her nose and asking, "Did I hit you? It was a bad shot. I'm really sorry." Rice held the woman's hand until first-aiders arrived and made sure the injured woman's daughter had her phone number to keep her updated. Nice save, Condi. [Source]
