I played a Course down in Maryland today (Westminster National) and made the turn and on #10 went up to our 2nd shots and while going seen a Naked Dude in his back yard doing yard work and standing there....I couldn't believe what I had seen...my buddy hollered over to him and he basically laughed and just stood there....

what are some of the weirdest things you have seen?

This happened about 3 months ago.

With my course being a resort we get all sorts of visitors, as we were sat in the club house having a beer a large helicopter (from a world wide bank that I wont mention) decided to land in the coach park and spray the poor 4 ball that was on the 12th green with dust, and I mean a massive dust cloud that made them and the green vanish for about 5 mins. I would not have been happy but it was weird to see and kinda funny.

Not sure whether I'd rather get covered in dust for 5 minutes or stumble across what the OP did - tough call.

Think I would rather stumble accross the naked guy, at least you could choose not to look.

Those poor sods were getting dusted no matter what they did LOL

This is not as startling as your story, but once watched a guy throw his entire golf bag into a pond after a really crappy round. As he was walking back to his car he realized that his wallet and car keys were in the bag! I never laughed so hard in my life watching this guy bob up and down in the pond trying to haul is bag out. True Story!!

Most surreal moment was watching an ambulance drive down the adjacent fairway. A fellow had collapsed with heart trouble.

i was with a kid in a county amature tournament and on one of the holes on the back 9 he hits his shot and it lands about a foot from the pin. takes on hop and spins back off the green. the kid then turned and threw his entire bag into the pond with all his clubs, cell phone, wallet, and everything. he also hit his scotty cameron on his head so hard it bent the saft

ya that post reminded me of it. i used to give the kid such a hard time about it because he ended up with a par that hole but he missed his birdie putt from just off the fringe and bent his putter on his head

In a tournament I played in a few years ago, they had some groups start on the back. While waiting for my group to tee off, I watched some groups tee off on 10. It was a par 5 with OB on the right. One guy stepped up, took a big swing and sliced it OB. He teed up again, slice OB. Now laying 5 on the tee, he switches to an iron, pushes it OB. After that, he got a little frustrated. No lie, he goes back to his bag and gets about 7 or 8 golf balls, drops them in a line on the tee, and just starts rapid fire hitting them OB. When he was done, he calmly picked up his bag and walked to the parking lot...not saying a word or looking at anyone.

In the bag:
Ping G5 Driver 9 degree, Ping G10 3-wood, Nike 3 hybrid, TaylorMade R9 Irons 4-AW, Cleveland CG15 56 and 60 degree wedges, Odyssey 2-ball blade putter

I've heard that more people die playing golf than anyother sport of game in the world. Mostly due to old out of shape guys having heart attacks, but heat stroke and dehydration claims a few as well.

In my bag are
Hibore XLS 10.5*
Hibore XLS 22* 3i Hybrid
TA7 irons 3-PW, SW
CG11 60* LW VP #5 putter.

My Grandfather died on a golf course of a heart attack. He probably preferred it that way.

On the practice chipping/pitching green today there was this old guy pitching shots from 10 yards off the green. He was taking full swings at the pitches and he was pretty horrific. The only reason they didn't fly the green is because his back swing literally took 4-5 seconds to get to the top. I felt bad because I kept stopping to look at his shot to make sure he didn't shank one and kill me.

Speaking of almost being killed, about a month ago my father duck hooked a shot that came head high 6 inches to the right of my head about 50 yards up along the left rough where there's a little valley that I was standing in about to play my shot. My heart hasn't pounded that hard in a long time and I almost quit golf right there on the spot. I've learned my lesson and I'm no longer going to go ahead to my ball while someone is behind me still. Even if I can see the person hitting the shot, it's too risky!

Can you imagine being killed by your own father doing the thing you two love to do most together? :(

edit: now that I think about it, I really have no reason to complain about bad fortune in golf ever again. or bad fortune with anything for that matter. it was sooooo close

Best 9 holes: 35 (Trilogy at Redmond Ridge, 3163y, Par 35/70, 70.0/131)
Best 18: [b]77[b] (Palm Valley CC, 6545y, 71.4/126)
Notable career achievement: I have NEVER four-putt.

    • My first instinct is don't put grooves in a roll face putter. But, it's your putter so... I think we'd all be in a better position to advise you if you posted some photos.  Let us know what you decide and how it comes out. 
    • Wordle 1,014 3/6* 🟨🟨⬜⬜🟨 🟨🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   Some really nice scores being posted - a bunch of eagles and of course that ace by @4zim! 
    • Wordle 1,014 2/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 😀 not as good as an Ace but Eagle still feels good.  Nice Ace yesterday @4zim

    • I play in a family event a few times a year with many 20-30HC players recently I was beaten off the stick by my 23HC cousin hubby he got an 83 I had a shocker 87 ...to have beaten him I would have had to have scored a 66 off the stick !!! my lowest at our local course is 73  ...was his best game for the year ...so many lucky shots    IMHO I'd say your mate won't need more than a couple of years to beat you ..
