I was getting ready to hit out of the rough, naturally, when I heard a thump about two feet behind me. I look over into the next fairway and a group of teenagers where yelling apologies. One had his hands on his head like he was expecting the ball to hit me. That probably would have hurt.

Never yelled or been hit, but fondly remember the time as teenagers a friend and I were at the range. We're both swingin away, I hear the familiar whoosh, clack, of his swing, immediately followed by "LOOKOUTLOOKOUTLOOKOUTLOOKOUTLOOKOUTLOOKOUT!!" And my friend's club is helicoptering to the ground a tee or two away. He walks over, apologizes to others for the commotion as he picks up his club (thankfully noone was hit), walks to the clubhouse and exits a minute or two later with a shiny new glove.

Is there a more appropriate warning to use when the potential target is not a few hundred yards ahead of you?
