ESPN reporter Michelle Beisner-Buck spent time on the operating table this week ... and it's all reportedly due to a freak accident involving a golf club and her husband, Joe Buck.
According to Adam Schefter, Michelle sustained a fractured ankle as well as nerve damage after Joe accidentally drove a golf ball into her leg ... and on Wednesday, surgeons opened her up to fix the issue.
Thankfully, Schefter reported the procedure went well -- sharing a photo of a smiling Beisner-Buck in a hospital bed.
