Witnessed something on Thursday…..

[Bump-n-MI]

that I thought I'd never see. League night playing hole #4 (520 yd par 5). My playing partner hooks his drive (red) and has 250 yds in and pulls out his 3-wood. Snap hooks the hell out of it (lefty) toward the #8 green (white). When we get to the green we found it in the hole! Not sure what the ruling on that is so he took an unplayable. That was definitely the wildest thing I have seen on the golf course.

LOL... Now that's funny

I was in the right place,
But it must have been the wrong green.

Nice! Lucky guy :D

[SpringBokVol]

That is awesome!

[Smarf]

That's awesome! I'm new to the game, but if I had to make a rules decision I would say it falls under

25-3: Wrong Putting Green
If a player's ball lies on a wrong putting green, he must not play the ball as it lies. He must take relief, without penalty , as follows:

The player must lift the ball and drop it within one club-length of and not nearer the hole than the nearest point of relief. The nearest point of relief must not be in a hazard or on a putting green. When dropping the ball within one club-length of the nearest point of relief, the ball must first strike a part of the course at a spot that avoids interference by the wrong putting green and is not in a hazard and not on a putting green. The ball may be cleaned when lifted under this Rule

Holy hooker batman. I hope the green was clear.

I think Smarf has the correct ruling on that one too.

Correct ruling! You are one Smarf guy.

haha - i've had something similar to that happen about three years ago. i hit a sky-high banana ball off the tee and watched it head towards the wrong green. when i got there, the ball was in the hole. i was like... great. my first ace and it's on the wrong hole.



red line is how the hole is SUPPOSED to be played, and white line is what i did.
