First time I've done or seen this...

[Jay-Bird]

Today I hit my drive on #5 into the thick rough between hole 5 and hole 6.

There's a little creek between the holes - lining the right side of #5 - so the rough has a constant supply of water. It gets crazy thick in the summer, but right now it's still dormant - but VERY long and shaggy from last year's growth.

I found my ball sitting up nicely on some of this shaggy, dormant grass. I had 155 to the middle. I ripped an 8 iron and my ball shot out cleanly (I missed the green left)...

...As my club tore through the grassy clump TWO MORE BALLS came flying out! They each went about 20 yards.

I've never done that in my life.

Just thought I'd share. Any golf anomalies you've been witness to or experienced first hand?

I hope they were Pro V1s find enough of them and you can pay the round!

I missed a par 3 about 15 yards left. The hole has water down the entire left side. I was about 2 feet from the water but my ball was propped up about 4 inches in the air by a half a dozen pieces of straw like grass and I had about 10 feet of elevation to the green. It made for an interesting shot... felt like I was playing tee ball.

At the PGA event the other week that Camillo Villegas won, Aussie Nathan Green did that on the 71st hole! Was trying to hit it out of a water hazard, and picked up another ball with what was his 3rd or 4th effort (a bit of capitulation there...)
