Hail storm that hits Oklahoma City

The video below of a hail storm that hits Oklahoma City with baseball sized hail causing huge splashes in a backyard pool is something you have to see to believe. Even though the video isn't the best quality you can get an idea of how big the hail stones are as some of them hit the cement on the side of the pool. And you can just judge how big they must be based on the splashes they are causing as the hail stones hit the water.

My question is whether that is a golf course in the background and if so how screwed are the golfers that couldn't find adequate cover? Not to mention how dented up the cars are around Oklahoma City that got pelted by these huge hail stones. Luckily in the Northeast where I live we rarely see hail storms. If we do they are brief and the hail stones are pebble sized at most. But even those do some minor damage to cars so I can imagine the dents the baseball sized hail would leave.

I'm going to try to find some pictures of some of these hail stones that hit in the Oklahoma City storm but here's the video footage in the meantime.
