Maurice Hayden, 42, died after being hit in the head by a golf ball while he was working at the Mayfair Country Club in Sanford, Florida.
According to a news report, Hayden was pulling weeds on the second hole of the Mayfair Country Club course when he was hit by an errant tee shot, which a witness estimated was going at about 135 mph when it struck him in the temple. He collapsed to the ground and paramedics attempted to revive him before he was taken to a local hospital and placed on life support. He died a day later after being removed from life support at an Orlando hospital.
Hayden emigrated to the U.S. from Jamaica, where two of his children still live. He is survived by a wife and two stepdaughters.
