BERNIE MAC - MAC HIT JACKSON WITH A GOLF BALL

MAC HIT JACKSON WITH A GOLF BALL

SAMUEL L. JACKSON has a painful memory of late pal BERNIE MAC - the comic hit actor with a ball while they played golf.
Jackson was stunned when he learned that MAC had died in August (08), but he'll always be left with one scar that reminds him of his friend.
He explains, "Bernie was the only guy to hit me with a golf ball. We were playing golf in Chicago... and Bernie drove his ball and I drove my ball about 20 yards further than his and I just kept going down the fairway and, as I was walking, it felt like somebody had shot me in the back.
"Bernie had hit a three wood, shanked (mis-hit) it and just drilled me right in the back... and didn't apologise.
"He was like, 'You shouldn't have been in the way - it would have been a good shot.'"
