Country club golf pro sues family friend for $1 million after face ‘permanently disfigured’ by ‘careless’ swing

A Texas oil-and-gas executive taking a golf lesson failed to ensure the surrounding area was clear before “negligently” swinging his club directly into the instructor’s face, necessitating emergency reconstructive surgery and resulting in “permanent disfigurement,” according to a $1 million negligence lawsuit obtained by The Independent.

Houston resident Youssef Abbad El Andaloussi took a cut at the ball “without checking his surroundings,” causing traveling pro Mohammad Mohseni Goudarzi – who was standing nearby “in a vulnerable position” at the country club – to suffer “multiple facial bone fractures,” Goudarzi’s complaint states. It says he later developed serious infections, “and is expected to require further surgeries and ongoing rehabilitative care.”
