SANFORD – Family members said Maurice Hayden will be remembered as a hard worker who would do whatever it would take to provide for them.

Hayden, 42, died Thursday, a day after he was hit in the temple by a tee shot at the Mayfair Country Club.

He died mid-afternoon when he was removed from life support at Central Florida Regional Hospital, Sanford police Sgt. David Morgenstern said.

Hayden was doing maintenance work on the par 5 second hole at the Mayfair Country Club when he was hit by the golf ball. The golfer who hit Hayden will not face charges, Morgenstern said.

I've heard of people getting hit and suffering permanent damage. But, never death. This is a real bummer.

5. Article didn't say how far away he was

My guess is he was very close to the golfer that hit him.
