Disc Golf Injuries? Anyone?

Let me start this off my saying I am an Idiot. I focus to much on one thing and don't pay attention to other things. Having said that, I am out on a new 9 hole course about 35 min from my house. Neat little course, a lot of fun. I get to the 7th hole. Each hole has a Very Nice printed hole sign with the distance and layout of the hole. They are in metal frames that are about chest high. I line up on the right side of the teepad on #7 and let loose with a high hyzer. I hear BOOM and feel A LOT of pain in my hand. I got TO CLOSE to the hole sign and backhanded it on my follow through. 

I took some skin off the top and hit my middle and ring finger knuckles pretty hard, so they are all swollen. I got a 1/4 cut on the top of my middle finger that is down to the bone. I butterflied it cause I don't want to go to the Doc for 1 stitch. 

As the day has gone on it is getting harder and more painful to make a fist, but at least I know I didn't break it. 

The DUMBEST part was as soon as I realized what I did, all I could think was. "I GOTTA FINISH MY ROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". And, in true stupid form, I did. Plus another 9 holes. I used my disc towel to stop the bleeding long enough to throw between holes, then realized I had bandaids in my SUV. Yes, I am Special. At least I played a -2 for 18 holes, then another -2 on the second 9 holes.

Anyone else ever get a disc golf injury?

Injuries.  Yes.

The way you did, No.

Mine are from getting older.

You know you have reached the "Masters" when

you're body goes out more then you do.

Tee sign is too close.

I agree. FULLY. Lol.

I broke one of my fingers on a tee sign during a cold round two years ago, did finish the round.  This February, I messed up my wrist while following through directly into a spruce tree.  X-rays were negative, but definitely did something to it.  I have also torn a muscle in my palm while throwing.

[Jeff Nichols]

Dang Chris. How did you tear a muscle in your palm throwing? That sounds painful!

[Chris Goodrich]

To this day, I have no idea. I was throwing a firebird and as I released I felt a searing pain in my hand.  By the end of the round I could barely hold a disc.

I've scratched up my hand pretty badly from follow thru into a thorn bush.

My pride at times;>}  Might want to check for cut arteries if having a difficult time making a fist.
