i landed the ball on 2nd shot in a ditch-like path filled with lava rocks going across the fairway from one side to the other. i had no shot. so here i go to drop the ball behind the obstacle instead of in front. the width of the ditch/ rocks was only like 5-8 feet with no water. so i drop about 5 feet back, i line up and take my shot thinking no problem to clear. ball hits rock, deflects back to my mouth, rips my right lower lip and breaks my front top right tooth in half. i now have a porcelain tooth replacement.

On a 134 downhill par 3 at my home course, there is a tree where the limbs block the view and the shot into the left side of the green. My threesome teed off on this hole and I saw the weirdest thing!

One of my playing partners hit to the left pin location and stepped to the right to see his ball location. He kept stepping over then after the ball missed to the left he headed to the cart. Just a couple steps later, he looks down. To our surprise the tee marker was impaled in his leg just above the ankle between his two lower leg bones (tibia and fibia maybe?). The 4-6" inch spike had completely punctured his leg. Apparently, his stepped on the tee marker watching his shot and some how it rolled up as his klutzy butt tripped, and buried itself to the hilt in his leg. My other partner removed his Haynes tee from underneath his polo shirt and we made a makeshift bandage. Dude finished the round and played no worse than usual. Well, he plays pretty poorly anyway.

DynamicDave your accident needs to be in a Adam Sandler movie. Nothing like that, one of the first times I was out golfing a couple of years ago these guys pull up and want us to play through. Being the young, eager idiot I was then I tried to destroy my 2nd shot from the fairway with my three wood - at that time the green was about 30 yards outside of my range but hey - they didn't know that.

Anyway, I slice it pretty quickly, it hits the trunk of a tree and literally bounces back inbetween my feet. I couldn't do it again if I tried a million times.

I snapped my Taylor Made Burner driver once by accident with my pitching wedge... don't ask please lol

Things I Am Good at in Golf

- Hitting it in the drink
- Finding the rough with my drive
- Staying in the bunker- Hitting grassburners all the way to the hole- Three putting- Posting over par on 18 in only 9 holes- Swinging and missing with an iron

Played 8 rounds in 4 days with a pair of golf shoes that were one size too small. By the 7th round I could barely walk, had blisters and callouses pretty much on every toe and all up and down the sides of my feet. Possibly the most pain I've been in starting that 7th round.

    • I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.
    • Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV. 
    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
