A Hermosa Beach woman who lost most of her sight in one eye after she was struck by a flying golf disc in Polliwog Park has sued the city of Manhattan Beach.

Noreen Goodbody accuses the city of negligence and allowing a dangerous condition to exist on public property in the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit.

She is seeking unspecified but “serious compensation,” said attorney David Ring of the Los Angeles law firm of Taylor & Ring.

“She’s probably lost 95 percent of her sight in her left eye,” he said. “She’s probably had three or four procedures on her eye to try to remedy the problem, but none have been successful.”

Manhattan Beach officials, including the city attorney, did not respond to several voice mail messages on Friday seeking comment.

Goodbody was watching her high school-age daughter practice track at the park in August 2012 when she was struck by the “flying disc with a sharp edge,” according to the lawsuit, which was filed in July.

“She doesn’t even see it coming,” Ring said. “All she knows is something slams into her eye.”

Once called Frisbee Golf, these days the sport is known by enthusiasts as disc golf.

In the early days of the sport, players used plastic Frisbees. Now specialized discs are used that can weigh up to about 6 ounces, said Zach Hall, disc golf director at Burbank’s DeBell Disc Golf Course.

Burbank’s nine-hole course, which opened in 2012, is used by disc golfers and regular golfers alike at the same time and designed “very carefully to make sure it wouldn’t be dangerous.”

“It could hurt,” Hall said if someone were hit by one. “It’s pretty hard plastic and they’re thrown at a pretty hard velocity.

“You always have to think about (disc golfers) are going to miss. It can be dangerous if folks are unaware of disc golfers around them. … The smaller the space, the worse it’s going to be.”

Polliwog Park, which sits at the corner of Redondo Avenue and Manhattan Beach Boulevard, is 18 acres.

“The course … runs throughout the park avoiding walkways and play areas,” according to the park’s website. “Players are asked not to throw in areas where people have congregated.”

But Ring contends players do anyway.

Goodbody was standing near the park’s amphitheater near the fourth hole of the disc golf course when she was struck, Ring said.

“They’re throwing through crowds of people,” he said. “The absurdity of it seems obvious and I can’t think of one good reason that a disc golf course is there.

“What if a 2-year-old gets hit? You’ll see so many huge divots in the trees from the discs … that shows how dangerous they are.”

Indeed, Ring forwarded emails from Manhattan Beach parks officials showing they have repeatedly dealt with concerns from park users and motorists over disc golfers hitting people and vehicles and have discussed moving holes as a precaution.

In one 2011 incident, for instance, a woman complained that “my husband was hit in the back by a Frisbee, which really hurt and was two feet from hitting our 1-year-old son.”

In another, a parks official warned a disc golfer in 2006 that more incidents “may result in the closure of the course.”
