Tom Holland left his family golf game with a formidable battle scar.
The Spider-Man star, 27, took to his Instagram Stories on Monday to share a close-up photograph of the injury, showing a large, red bump on his forehead with the dimpled texture of a golf ball imprinted on his head.
Being a good sport nonetheless, he quipped, “Who ever said golf isn’t a contact sport is full of s***.”
Tom’s father, Dominic Holland, shared his sense of humour in his blog post about the incident, for which Tom provided a link in his Stories.
Dominic confirmed that his son took a golf ball to the head, though it was not a serious injury.
“In fact, it was hit by a sand wedge from 80 yards albeit by a scratch golfer who should have known better and frankly been more accurate,” Dominic wrote.
He further revealed that the “offending player was Alex Roberts, a close friend of Tom’s.”
“Whack. The ball struck Tom on the right side of his forehead. Had it been just a few cm’s to his left or right… It was a great shock and it certainly hurt, hence why Tom hit the turf as though he’d been shot.”
