At the first hole

At the first hole on a golf course, a man tees off and hits a hard drive, but the ball hooks badly and goes off the course entirely. The man figures it's a lost ball, puts another ball down and starts again.

He plays nine holes when a policeman comes up to him:
"Sir, did you lose a ball a while back?"

"Yes, I did. Why?"

"Well, sir, I'm afraid I've got some bad news for you. You see, your ball struck a cyclist, causing him to swerve right into the path of an oncoming bus. The bus hit the cyclist and then rammed head-on into a truck coming from the opposite direction. At the moment the casualties are twenty-one dead and we don't know how many injured."

The man says, "Oh, this is dreadful!.... I ... I had no idea.... is there anything I can do?"
