The lawn mower company told me that injuries do occur when stones or other objects are ejected from a mower. It’s like a paint-ball gun. But most stuff stays in the yard. For a golf ball, the impact from the blade has to be enough to fling the ball, but not too great as to chop the ball in half. I can’t see how the ball would have high velocity. The impact of the ball on the car would be dominated by the speed of the car. Windshields are pretty strong, so there is probably more to this story.
