Argh! Sorry to hear that! I'm hoping it was a mis-hit golf ball that was not intended for your butt. Sorry about the bruise. Worst thing is, you can't legitimately show it off to all and sundry.

How very rude. I hope it was a bad shot from a golf course not some idiot hitting riders as they go by on purpose.
Hope your bottom feels better soon.
Stay away from stray golf balls from now on, we want to see you in one piece at LRRH.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Mean people s*&k. Bikerhen, I'm glad you are OK, aside from the bruise. Thank goodness he didn't startle you and make you wipe out.

Maybe he was trying to slow you down - coz ya know - you were going too fast and it was intimidating him??
Seriously, it amazes me why people throw Anything at runners/cyclists. I have never understand what the motivation and/or enjoyment is out of behaving in that manner - and I hope I Never do! Did you get DH to massage it for you??
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Grrrr... some people
!!! I got hit in the head with a golf ball when I was a little kid by teenagers who were playing a mean game of catch and didn't know how to throw or catch. Those things really hurt! It is amazing how some people have no concept of anything...
