“The bees continued to swarm around us, so we panicked, and as we tried to get away, our golf cart crashed due to a miscalculated maneuver,” Piamonte added.

“We ended up with facial bruising, swollen lips, and multiple body bruises and bee sting! After our incident, several groups behind us were also attacked; some chose to stop [playing], while others continued, even with bees already inside their clothes!” she continued.

The golfer then warned fellow players to be cautious while playing in the area, adding that the incident occurred on Hole 11.

“Stay alert in this area and do not hesitate to stop play if this happens. No round is worth risking injury. To fellow golfers who stopped and assisted us until we were safe, thank you and God bless you! Let’s all look out for one another on the course,” Piamonte said.
