Tom Holland shares about his injury with the audience

Holland was away in Scotland for a golf match when he got struck by a golf ball on his forehead, though the injury was not serious. Holland’s father, Dominic Holland explained the situation in his blog post, noting that “it was hit by a sand wedge from 80 yards albeit by a scratch golfer who should have known better and frankly been more accurate.” The offending player, Alex Roberts was not aware that his friend was “off the green to his left.” 

Dominic explained that the ball hit Holland on the right side of his forehead, and was only a few centimeters from a major disaster. The injury certainly hurt, “hence why Tom hit the turf as though he’d been shot.” the blog post mentioned. The actor had donned a woolen hat, which offered some degree of protection from the striking ball. His father further quipped in the blog, calling him lucky to be playing in Scotland in a season that mandates wooly hats. Holland was then taken to the hospital for a checkup.
