Ouch is right.
I don't think I would've handled it as calmly as you did, to be honest, friend or not. That's just downright dangerous and STUPID.
I think for a split second my initial thought was to get angry.
But then I decided screaming was better therapy. Then I saw the 3 jaws dropped around me, and thought I had to suck it up.
The cart girl was incredibly good looking(!!!);
I thought taking it like a man was a much better idea than crying.

On the 10th hole, after we've teed off, the cart girl comes around.
3 of the 4 of us approach her to get a beer.
The 4th duffed his tee shot, and is about 30-40 yards behind us. His ball went right of the cart path (the fairway is left).
As I'm getting my money out of my bag, I'm surprised to see him behind us lining up his shot.
I'm thinking there is no way he'd ever hit while we are right in front of him, but I say 'I hope you're not thinking about hitting'.
If we aren't directly in front of him, at the most he has 10 feet to the left he can hit or he's aiming OB.
10 seconds later, I get hit by a ball in the left hip.
He hit a full swing 3-wood, from 30-40 yards out into 4 people that are more or less directly in front of him. He thought he could put it well over us, and to our left.
It hurt like crazy for 10 seconds, but then no pain at all.
I didn't get mad at him, but told him that was sooo, sooo stupid, and he could have killed someone.
He felt horrible after and spent the rest of the round apologizing over and over.
At first I just kind of laughed about it, but driving home afterwards, it started to really bother me (not the pain). The cart girl was facing him, and her head was no more than 5 feet from my hip. My junk was less than a foot away. Or, if he catches someone in the temple, eye etc...
That could have worked out so incredibly bad. Me getting hit where I did was about the best possible scenario.
Why were you even parked there sheesh! It's bad etiquette to advance in front of players and to get beers while someone is hitting. How rude!
:actup:
Seriously I would have hit the ball back at him!

So the incredibly good looking cart girls head was next to your hip? Like as in if it missed your hip it would smacked her in the head?
Sorry just struggling with the visual.
That bruise is brutal, but thank god your hip was strategically placed to protect the hot cart girls head!

I don't think I would ever accept an invitation to play with this person again. I'm a newb and know better than to do that.
I can honestly say that would be the last round played with said friend.
He hit 2 balls off the tee box, both of them mistakes.
He decided to play his first (I think he lost his 2nd one), without telling us.
He also asked us to grab him a beer while he looked for his first ball.
The cart girl parked in the vicinity of the 3 balls on/near the fairway.
I shouldnt have even responded to your post; slow play, poor golf etiquette, etc...you never hit a ball into people.
To suggest there is sometimes some compelling reason to even consider doing so is beyond ignorant. That's the kind of thinking that leads to lifelong regret.
The player was being a jacka55. He was yelling (on purpose) during people's backswing.
He's not not a regular golf partner of mine. I've probably golfed with him a dozen times over the last couple years, but not at all in the last 5-6 months.
I've never seen him like that. I really do wonder if he is on opiate pain med's.
I try and go easy on people when they screw up. He screwed up big time; but he only realized it after the fact.
For whatever reason, I felt really bad for him. I think I've been in a position where I did something, and as soon as I did it, I wish I hadn't done so. I don't know what it was, or even when (not on a golf course)...
