Nate Quarry Suffers Eye Injury From Golf Club
For those who think that you can’t really get hurt in the pseudo-sport of golf, think again, because Nate Quarry has found a sure fire way.
From FCFighter:
“Quarry was at a party in Albany, Oregon, where guests were hitting golf balls into a wooded area. Quarry walked straight into the backswing of a young woman, sending the club directly into his left eye. The force of the blow broke Quarry’s Orbital Floor, a bone that keeps the eye in place. Doctors estimate the original cast member of “The Ultimate Fighter†will not be able to compete until November or December at the earliest.”
Unfortunately, being sidelined due to injury is a tale Nate Quarry knows all too well. Quarry, 36, sat out for nearly two years following his loss to Rich Franklin at UFC 56, while undergoing and recuperating from various surgeries. Quarry was also forced out of competition from the first season of The Ultimate Fighter due to an ankle injury which required significant healing time.
Though this latest mishap is surely aggravating for “The Rock”, the report states that Quarry is in relatively high spirits and has “been a good sport about the whole incident”. The UFC is also rumored to hold a pay-per-view event in Quarry’s native Oregon this November, but we shall see if that is too soon for the recovering UFC veteran to return to action.

i wouldn’t like to hit any UFC fighter accidently in the eye with a golf club!
do you think his feet came together, and he fell back slowly in a stiff position?!!?
This guy does not have good luck
Golf is a helluva sport
I WONDER OF ALCHOL WAS A FACTOR LOL… SWINGING A GOLF CLUB DRUNK ISN’T A GOOD IDEA.
I feel bad for Quarry. First the injuries after his Franklin fight, then having to fight that worthless POS Starnes and now this. He’s still one of my favorites for pulling out the running man during a fight though.
Omg Jason that was hilarious. Anyways, that has to hurt. At least it was a chick and not a dude that can kill the ball.
Shatballs that sucks….Shame on me for thinking I had bad luck. I feel bad for Nate because as long as he as been in the public eye of MMA fans through TUF1 he has been f-d over and over again by injuries and life in general. POOR GUY….
Golf is not a SPORT either! It’s a skill. If you can play when you are a senior citizen, it’s not a sport. If fans cannot make the slightest peep while you play, it is not a sport. It’s F-ing GOLF!
Lol at jason N. Well played.
I wonder if she was hot
Rutdog,
I’m not so sure Nate was able to tell as he was blind in one eye and in pain.
You know she was hot!!! I bet that is why Nate was that close to her back swing. lol
I also agree that golf isn’t a sport.
It could be worse: a chick could cut off your pen15 while you’re sleeping and chuck it out of a moving car.
The people who said golf isn’t a sport are only saying that because they suck at it. You play 18 holes while carrying your clubs and drinking beers, and tell me your not tired as **** when your done. And the guy who said it is a skill not a sport. To be good at any sport takes skill. I see guys playin hoops at the age of 60, they don’t all play well, does that make it any less of a sport because they can still play. Don’t tell me tiger is not a athlete. Golf is somewhat like hitting a baseball, it might take more skill and cordnation to do it on the professional level than anything else in sports. Like every sport you have to practice to be good, you go to the range and hit 200 to 300 golf balls, you will be tired as **** and find you you’ve worked out muscles you never knew you even had. I’m playing 18 in the morning, throwing horse shoes and drinking beers in the afternoon and watching the fights at night. F uck the b itches.
Oh yeah, that chick probably was swinging that club around under 50 mph,assuming she is your average female golfer. most younger male golfers, not hackers, are swinging closer to 110 mph. Imagine being struck in the eye at that speed.
And don’t try to point out the out of shape people that play golf, I can do that in the fight game as well. Like in all sports it takes dedication to be one of the greats and usually the well conditioned athletes prevail. Its also funny that you guys point out that old people play golf, then probably root for randy.
Da nards.
If steroid use will enhance your performance your talking about a sport, golf. If it would not, your talking about a game. chess.
He is fragile. I wonder if the club knocked him as stiff as Franklin did?
bw, he was hit on the back swing… not the follow through. that club was probably hardly moving. it dont take much to break the orbital floor with a solid object. btw, golf is NOT a sport. i can chop trees all day and be tired… dont make it a sport!
Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determiner of the outcome (winning or losing)
BW,
Golf is not a sport. Say what you want……tired, beer, club carrying, 18 holes….blah blah blah…not a sport. It is a game for senior citizens. Tiger is in great shape but nope……not an athlete. He’s a golfer with lots of money for the best personal training which is why he is in great shape. I am not trying to offend you or hurt your feelings. Golf is boring and not a sport.
BW,
Miniature golf however…..now that’s a sport.
Errizle,
Almost every time you post I laugh. That poor Bobbit.
He should lock himself back in the octagon where it’s safe.
Get well Nate…
