His most famous film character uses his “spider sense” to detect danger.
But none of Spider-Man’s superpowers appear to have rubbed off on Hollywood actor Tom Holland over the weekend when he was apparently hit in the head with a ball during a round of golf in Scotland.
Several witnesses claim the star didn’t know the stray ball was hurtling toward him before hitting him in the forehead.
The Spider-Man star, who plays to a six handicap and is a regular at amateur events, was playing near St Andrews in Fife at the first Tom Holland Charity Golf Day.
The 27-year-old, who plays Peter Parker in the Marvel films, appeared that night at the opening gala of a film festival at the Byre Theater in St Andrews sporting a round, red scratch on his head.

Making a rare appearance with his double younger brother Harry, the The actor, 27, beamed as he cut a casual figure in an open-collared beige polo shirt and matching chinos.
Meanwhile, his younger brother, 25, opted for a simple white T-shirt, a black cardigan and jeans.
Tom, who had been teased about his height in the past, appeared to be a little shorter than his younger brother, as they bore their striking resemblance with the same mop of brown hair.
To brave the Scottish winds, the Spider-Man star bundled up in a blue puffer jacket and matching blue trousers before adding a baseball cap as he headed to the golf course.

Holland is in a relationship with Spider-Man co-star Zendaya, who also starred in both Dune films.
Meanwhile, Harry embraced his inner Scot in a checkered vest as he posed alongside his brother on the course.
Tom and Harry are two of four brothers, as Harry also has a twin, Sam, and they have a younger brother, 18-year-old Paddy.
The four were spotted together last September while heading to the celebrity Pro-Am golf tournament at Wentworth Golf Club in Virginia Water, Surrey.
Following in their older brother’s footsteps, both Harry and Paddy are also pursuing acting careers, especially Harry, who is often seen alongside Tom on various film sets.
He has appeared in several of Tom’s recent films, including The Impossible, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and Cherry. He also directed the 2020 short film Roses for Lily.
Previously speaking about his brother Harry on the Graham Norton Show in December 2021, Tom shared a funny anecdote from when his brother was involved in a scene from the movie Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Harry was cast in a scene in the Spider-Man: No Way Home movie, but Tom later revealed that the scene was cut from the final cut.
While the brothers smiled in the snaps, they were also joined by Tom’s Marvel director Joe Russo.
“We cast Harry, and he was on set and I went up to the stunt coordinator and said, ‘Please, whatever you do with the stunt, have it backwards.’
‘We’re doing the scene. Harry is face down rocking back and forth. God bless him, he is doing a very good job. And as the day goes on, he has these lines and he’s starting to forget them and his eyes are about to pop out of his head.
“But the icing on the cake, and I don’t think he really knows this, we saw the movie the other day and they cut the scene. It’s not in the movie.
Tom also told Jimmy Kimmel in 2019 that he and Harry were trying to set up a production company together while gushing about how much he trusts his brother.
He said: “We’re trying to set up a production company together, we’ve been writing a script together and I work for him.” …If Harry wasn’t in my life, he wouldn’t have gotten here tonight.”
Tom continued calling himself “stupid” and noted that his brother “has to tell me where to go all the time.”
Holland is in a relationship with Spider-Man co-star Zendaya, who also starred in both Dune films.
