Jason Aldean<\/a> and Kane Brown<\/a> are both country stars that hail from Georgia and although they have\u00a0a significant\u00a0age difference, Aldean (49) Brown (32), the two are really close friends.<\/p>\n

Recently Brown\u00a0incurred a major golf injury when he\u00a0suffered a concussion on the golf course. The singer says he was hit in the head by a golf ball.<\/p>\n

Pictures show a nasty cut along his ear. He needed 23 stitches to close the wound.<\/p>\n

Jason Aldean Says Kane Brown Is ‘Tough as a Pine Knot’ After Golfing Accident<\/h3>\n

Aldean was a guest on Country Countdown USA<\/a> with Lon Helton where he was asked about his pal’s golfing injury and if he had reached out to him about it.<\/p>\n

The “Dirt Road Anthem” singer said “My wife asked, \u2018Did you hear Kane got hit by a golf ball?\u2019 I didn\u2019t realize how bad it was. It was like 150 miles an hour to the back of his ear. I figured one popped him on top of the head. I sent him a text right after that. I love Kane, I hate that happened to him, but he\u2019s tough as a pine knot, so he\u2019ll be fine.”<\/p>\n

What Does Tough As A Pine Knot Mean?<\/h3>\n

A pine knot is extremely tough. It’s the dense, resin-soaked section of wood where a branch grows out of the trunk. Because it’s packed with resin and tightly grained, it’s much harder than the surrounding wood.<\/p>\n

So Aldean is basically saying that Brown and his head are as tough and dense as a resin-soaked tree trunk… pretty dang tough if you ask me. That’s why the Southern expression “tough as a pine knot” means someone is exceptionally rugged, resilient, and hard to hurt.<\/p>\n

Can A Golf Ball Kill You?<\/h3>\n

Yes. A golf ball traveling around 150 mph can be fatal if it strikes someone in a vulnerable area, particularly the head or neck, like the one that hit Brown.<\/p>\n

A typical golf ball weighs about 1.6 ounces (45.9 grams). At 150 mph, it carries enough energy to cause:<\/p>\n
