I just started playing a few months ago.  Tonight was a VERY odd and a bit scary ha.  I was teeing off and a bear came out of the woods about 90 yards from me.  What made this even more insane for me was that I am 36 and I have never seen a bear in my life until tonight!  What about you ?  What are some of your odd experiences?  Anyone ever get hit by lightning etc

I watched a funnel cloud form while on the golf course yesterday. It was a few miles away, but freaky.

I've been chased by a baby skunk before... that's as bad as I've had it so far. Had to get a picture, he was cute. Lol

I've been chased by geese and hit strange shots that have even gone backwards due to obstacles. Haha. This happened when my friend was playing a round. The dog jumped a 5 foot fence... [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8eJDNRKiTM[/VIDEO]

Not my experience, but my gf was playing golf last weekend with her mates and they found some guy nude sunbathing and later on found him beating off in the trees...

On the first tee a couple of years ago, about ready to tee off when we hear a bunch of shouting...... above us.  A hot air balloon is coming right at us.  Landed right on the box!  Pilot apologized profusely.  Seems that that was the only option he had at the time having somehow misjudged his altitude and was unable to get back up in time to avoid other obstructions.

I play a course that is bordered by a county park which is bordered by a local college....... It was early fall and we here on the 7th hole and we seen a bunch of clothes piled on the ground next to bushes. As we turned a corner about 15-20 college chicks and guys came streaking our of the bushes screaming like crazy.... Was the strangest but funniest thing I ever saw. I try to play that course every fall! :)

I played a few weeks ago on a very nice course that is in the woods. On about the 7th hole, there was a snapping turtle walking across the fairway. He was probably a foot and a half long. Walked on down and into the woods. The strange part was that this hole was elevated and there was no water with at least 500 yards of the spot he was at, so I'm not sure where he was coming from or going to.

I regularly golf next to the Air Force base I'm stationed and last fall I saw an aircraft that I never knew existed, at the time at least. I watched a NASA Super Guppy come in and land and then take off about an hour or so later.

    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
    • Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.
    • What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.
    • One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL
