PLAYBOY PLAYMATE BUTT CHEEK GOLF TEE STUNT GOES AWRY

Even if you're not a big golf enthusiast, golf tournaments can still be a lot of fun.

That's because good golf tournaments, charity or otherwise, typically have plenty of ancillary agenda items and accouterments to distract you from just how utterly ragged your golf game is. Open bar, hole in one contests, longest drive, free cigars, all of those rank among my favorites.

Then there are the really upscale golf tournaments. And those are the ones where you get a Playboy caliber lady serving as a human driving range mat by wedging a golf tee in between their butt cheeks. Now, those tournaments are the best!

Unless you're Liz Dickson, said human driving range mat.

Dickson is a model and was the winner of Playboy's 2011 "Girl of Playboy Golf" contest. As part of the grand prize, apparently Dickson was granted the privilege of attending the Playboy Golf Finals at the Industry Hills Golf Club in Los Angles in March 2012.

Part of her duties (which she presumably agreed to uphold when she won the contest, kind of like Miss America) consisted of allowing the tournament to use her butt cheeks as a prop in a disaster-waiting-to-happen stunt with the radio host of the Playboy Morning Show, some dude named Kevin Klein.

The stunt was pretty simple -- the golf tee would be inserted in between Dickson's butt cheeks the same way you'd insert a tee for a drive, a ball would be teed up, and Klein would take a swing.

What could possibly go wrong??

A video of the stunt looks innocent enough. I mean, after all, Dickson appears to be smiling and laughing afterward, and the club kind of bounced off of her cheek and didn't appear to hit anything that would resemble bone (i.e. no fractures). Maybe just a bruise.

Well, yeah, there was a bruise. A HUGE ONE. And according to a lawsuit recently filed by Dickson, there was much, much more.

Dickson filed the complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging battery and negligence. According to TMZ, she is suing for $500K plus punitive damages. In addition to the dinner plate-sized welt on her ass, Dickson's attorney says the swing damaged the model's hip ligaments and nerves. He also says she's incurred more than $33,000 in medical bills so far, and to this day still feels numbness and tingling in her right leg. Also, we would be remiss not to mention the "pain, suffering, worrying and anxiety as a result of her injuries," according to the suit.

Wow, that's a lot of stuff!

Now, allow me to play mock judge on this one and provide a swift and decisive verdict -- um, Liz, you allowed a pudgy, middle aged radio host wearing a headset and microphone to swing a driver near your ass. What the hell did you expect to happen?

This judge rules in favor of Playboy. Case dismissed.
