You don't get hit in the face because there is a phantom force that attracts the ball towards the hole, but only after it has been hit.

In golf, a typical pitching wedge has an angle of 45 degrees. Since angle of incidence equals angle of reflection why doesn't the ball bounce off the club, go straight up and hit you in the face? (A good golfer would hit it 100m.)
