Craziest golf shot ever!

[groovezilla79]

Playing at Old Capital GC in Corydon, IN today on the 13th tee. It's a short par 4, 390 or so from the tips. Tee shot is over a creek. Once over the creek, the fairway doglegs right and runs parallel to the creek. If you hit driver, you must play a fade or you'll go through the fairway and be in either a pond or one of 3 large bunkers down the left side. My playing partner hits driver but pulls it dead left. We spend about 5 minutes looking for his ball to no avail and finally decide it must have kicked into the water. He takes his stroke, drops and we finish the hole. SO, we then get to the 14th, a 190ish par 3 which you tee over the same pond. Once on the green, we see his tee ball from the 13th was in the cup at 14!!! We didn't see it go on the green because there is a row of pine trees that block your view from the 13th tee. Talk about having a HOLY S*** moment on the course!

Anyone else have a crazy shot to share? I know this one will be with me for a very long time!

WOW thats ridiculous. On the 18th fairway my partner takes an eternity to hit his ball. I had already hit mine into the water and dropped because I was pissed. A group of four came up behind us. After about 30 minutes he finally hits his 2nd shot. I hit my #4 a MILE, I absolutely RIP the 3 wood. The guys in the carts behind us say "Damn nice ball man." I say thanks and we figure it is on the green. I get up there and its no where to be found. Freakin X-Files ball. My story isnt nearly half as good as yours but I was pissed.

ive had a couple x-files my self. rip drives straight down the middle of the fairway, mark out in my mind exactly what its next to (i.e. two humps after fairway starts or right after rock or what ever it be) i get to the spot and it is absolutly nowhere. those are what piss you off.

I have seen a lot of weird stuff in my time. Birds hit in the air, on the ground, and on a power line; shanks off a cart and back at the hitter, big hook left into a crowed public pool (no kids were hurt in the making of that shot), skipped across a pond for an ace, an ace (different) then the guy died of a heart attack on the spot... but the best was a few weeks ago. A guy busted a hemorrhoid and had to go home for a bit to clean up. We thought he was going to bleed out right there on the third hole.

I've been playing for 35 years and last year I hit a bird and it's the only time I've ever seen it. I hit a low stinger with a 3-iron on a par-4 and about 40 yards off the tee a bird was flying by and I nail it dead center cut,,lol! Feathers were flying, my ball only went like 150 yards and the bird was instantly killed.

You've all seen this, but it's worth another look.

I hit a bird the second or third time I went out. It was at a par 3 course and the hole was just a 80 yard shot over a pond to the green. I skulled my tee shot and it hit a big white bird, a swan or something, that was sitting at the edge of the pond. It made a solid "thud" as it hit the bird square in the back, between the wings. The bird flew off . .seemed unharmed but annoyed. My ball landed in the water.

Edit: although I think my craziest shot would have to have been back when I was in high school. From an elaveted tee on a short par 3, I bladed my tee shot. It arced down, bounced off the lip of the bunker and kicked onto the green and rolled within 6 inches of the hole.

I've never seen that shot. Insane! Thanks for sharing.

Mine was when I skipped the ball over a lake and ended up with a 10 footer for birdie.

Eighteenth hole, in a greenside bunker. I skulled the shot towards the cart barn, hit a cart that was parked where they keep the carts on standbye, about 20 yards away, and bounced back onto the green.

Umm that one of fuzzy zoellers shot? WTF how is that even possible, that ball was static on the fringe and then just started moving out of nowhere, looked fake!

last year I was playing at crooked creek near mt vernon il. Hole 5, 150 yard par 3 with trees all along each side of the hole. Pulled one way left with my 7 iron, thought I had hit it out of bounds and lost my ball too. It hit one of the trees up by the green way up high, came down, hit 2 or 3 branches, seeming took at least 5 or 6 seconds and the last one dropped the ball right on the green about 7 feet from the hole like a giant hand. I could hear the group playing an adjacent hole clapping as they got a better view of it than I did. I couldnt cash in the the birdie but still got a very unlikely par. Luckiest shot ever.

to the OP... funny how the craziest shot ive ever seen was similar...
i was playing with a bunch of friends and we were on the 6th green fixing ball marks lining up our putts when we hear "FORE!!!" everyone covered up and we hear a thud right on our green... we all watched as the ball went between 2 of ours... catch the slope and trickle right into the hole... we all yell "ohhhh shhhhh..." we look back across the water to the 4th teebox and a kid(about 10-12yrs old) with his dad and 2 other guys was trying to say sorry... the kid pulled one our way and holed out... we told him he can start bragging about his 1000yrd hole in one 3 greens away... lol

Playing a course where the road to the clubhouse divides the two nines. The 9th hole basically follows the road back toward the clubhouse with the road to the right of the fairway. My buddy hits a drive and it is on the right side in the rough. As he lines up and gets ready to hit a car comes done the road heading for the clubhouse. Mind this 'road' is more like a lane and cars only go 20-30 mph down it.

He must of been distracted and he hits a low screamer that cuts toward the car. We were all thinking it was going to hit the car, but it must of had some odd spin, as it dips down, hits the road and bounces up and down underneath the car as it is moving down the lane. The car goes maybe 30 yards before they stop, the ball must of bounced up and down a dozen times in that space, can only imagine what it sounded like in the car.

Of course we apologized, the guy was very cool about it, and the ball was pretty beat up......

I witnessed both of these happening to the SAME golfer in the same year. Nice guy but with virtually no sense of humor, making these even funnier. He has this deadpan look all the time and looks like the guy from Family Guy. Even though he doesn't look the part, at the time, he was a really good golfer.



The first crazy one is on a par 4 on a municipal course. The dude comes up a bit and hits a low screamer toward the next tee. It hits the concrete end-cap of a park bench on the fly and comes right back to land exactly in the spot he hit the shot from. It had to have traveled 120 yards just to reach the bench. I mean, we have plenty of time to watch this ball fly back, almost as if it were happening in slow motion. The look on his face was priceless.

The next was at a corporate outing. Oddly, it wasn't a shotgun start so 60+ golfers are watching in an amphitheater like setting by the first tee. So, we have senior execs and the like waiting and watching as the best golfers tee off first. This dude goes to tee off on a heavily banked tee. Under the pressure of all those watching, he nearly whiffs on the ball, just grazing it so that it goes between his legs. It just goes far enough to catch the bank of the elevated tee, going down the steep bank, it hits the cart path and then lands in the brook adjacent to the cart path. If that wasn't funny enough, the dude is still just wearing his deadpan expression. I turn around to see grown men now literally falling about the place laughing so hard.

Did everyone see the ball bounce OUT of the water during the playoff at the Frys? Surely there must be video somewhere by now. It was amazing.
