On the fifth round of golf i ever played overclubbed with a seven iron for my second to a par 4. The ball bounced high in the rough past the green and rattled into the Hawthorn trees at the back. We had a good line on it and after a couple of minutes of fruitless searching spotted the ball resting on the top of a few branches about 7 feet in the air. I decided not to take a drop and hit the ball overarm with my wedge and ended up 3 feet from the pin.

 I was spectating/spotting at a Sheffield Union scratch match at Wath GC, between Wath & Doncaster. (about 4 years ago) I was stood at the back of the 17th green, Par 3, 185 yards, the hole is at the boundary of the course, with a road running all the way up the right of the hole then sharp corner and around the back of the green. Wath 2 up with 2 to play. Doncaster player goes first and puts it on the front of the green. Binoculars at the ready, Wath player hits a big fade, it's over the hedge, I signal it's gone OOB, ball bounces on the road, a white escort van drives under the ball as it bounces high into the air, bounces on the road again and comes back onto the course, pin high, just off the green, a chip and putt secures the game 2&1 for Wath. Life is stranger than fiction ....especially GOLF Chip

Last years club championship. Eleven straight pars, stood on 12th tee, wind picks up, I close the clubface on the Driver a little, to hit the ball lower, I did, the ball hit the round yellow tee marker 15 yards infront, sounded like a gun going off, everyone ducked, ball never seen again and I took an 8.

 Playing with a society teeing off one of thelads hits a right angle shank straight through a glass patio door of a house alongside the fairway - owner comes out ranting and raving "I've lived here 20 years and this has never happened!" One of the lads replies quck as a flash ..."Well he's not played here before!".

Here we go: When I first started paying I played from the whites on 18th at Hollingbury, this is way back and a 200yd plus drive is required to hit the fairway. Massive slice went deep into the trees on the right about 200yds up the fairway. Bent down picked up my tee and as I was getting up the ball flew out of the trees like a bullet and landed in the middle of the fairway. Pitch and putt, brother hit his tee shot which hit the wood surrounding the mat, straight up in the air down on his head. I was hitting a full sand wedge into the green and on my back swing the shaft snapped in half! mate was hitting out of edge of rough and there was a baby tree with a trunk that was about 5mm thick,no stake, he hit it (tree not the stake!) and his shaft snapped in half. I was middle of the fairway on a par 5, second shot was over two tall trees. Ball didn't any height, ran along the fairway up the trunk of the tree and came back over my head and landed 10yds further back!

5mm think you mean 5cm 5 mm is smaller than a twig!
|
|
KW, no I do mean 5mm!!!! Thats why we were on the floor laughing.. The same mate was going through a real bad time with his golf and was playing all sorts of strange shots inlcuding one where I decided to stand directly behind his back, thinking this must be the safest place on the course but no, he hits the ball it comes back through his legs and hits my trolley right next to me! How the hell he did that I will neve know. lol

I was playing in Bude a few years back, its was a wet Feb weekend & I just hit my ball in the rough on a down hill lie, get my wedge out to try to make the green, wedge slides under the ball in the very soft lie, ball goes up in the air divot goes up in the air, ball lands back in divot & divot lands on ball. My mate was wetting himself with laughter.

I was watching a tournament at Royal Birkdale, the guy who got me into golf was teeing off in a tournament so I went to watch, just as he was about to tee off some guy asked what tee time he had? My friend said no tee time it is a tour..... at this point he turned round to explain a tournament was going on only to find he was talking to Samuel L Jackson who was filming 51st State and wanted a game of golf. Another thing was a famous footballer endorsed by Adidas came into my store and with my low level of knowledge I tried to sell him a nike set of clubs. He thought it was really funny. Until he said what Ping clothing did I have and I had to tell him Nike just bought ping out.

Playing on a slightly wet course one day, playing to a par 3 green I topped my tee shot and it ran up to about 30 yards short of the green. I decided to have a thrash with my (at the time, brand new) 64 degree lob wedge. I took a big lunge at it, and (I swear this is true) my club entered the ground about 1/2 inch behind the ball, and cut a nice, thin, slice of turf, about 2 inches wide and 6 inches long, right underneath the ball - but the ball didn't move an inch! You wouldn't have known I had played a shot at all. After chipping up, I picked up the piece of turf, which, sure enough, was a perfect little strip that looked like it had been hand cut with great care. 64 degree wedge is now in the cupboard where it belongs.

Well on about LW's I was out on the course and had around 70 yards to hit, in my mind I hit a LW 50-60 yards on a good strike. Full swing. This was 100 yards. Took a massive swing and bang on the green. WOW that was great. Dad said "good shot from there son" looked at divot it was around 24" long and around 6 wide, but no divot it was still connected to the ground where I had swung and then swung out of it. It was huge but oh boy what a shot LMFAO! Oh boy im pissed! Its 10am and im rough as a dog TOILET TIME I BELIEVE BYE YBE!

 paul you should bring it out again sounds like a great garden tool hahahaha

 Funniest shot ever was when my father in law carefully took out the 150 distance marker to give him a clear shot from the rough, placed it on the foor then topped his shot into it sending the ball further into the rough. This was then followed by a long moan about if he hadn't bothered taking it out it wouldn't have hit the post.

You must have a funny old swing if you can take a 2ft long divot
