I have two decent stories I guess.

One of the first times I went on the course my brother and I were playing and I was hitting my second shot on the 18th-par 5.  I pulled out my 3 wood and decided to try to reach in two or atleast get close.  On this hole, about half way down the hole, is a creek full of creek rock, etc.  I hit the shot and drill it hard except I don't get any real lift.  It smacks one of the rocks in the creek and flies back over my head about 40 yards behind me.

Second story is similar to the shanking on the range except mine happened on a real course.  Went out to play 18 alone and got paired up with two other singles.  On one of the holes on the front 9 everyone was on the green except me, but I was only a chip away.  Both the other guys were on the green lining up their putts while waiting for me to hit and they weren't really paying attention.  As I hit my shot one of the guys squats down to get a good read and never sees what is coming his way.  I end up shanking the shot almost straight right and end up line driving him in the ass.  Thankfully it was a short chip without to much power behind it..  lol

I was playing Royal Liverpool while in England to attend the Open. I had just played a par 3 and was waiting on the next tee when the group behind us yells fore. I turn around and see a ball flying over a hill at the back of our tee box. It lands and bounces a few times before hitting me harmlessly on my leg. I look down and the ball is mine! I had lost the ball a few holes before and the guy behind me had found it and then hit me with it. Certainly the most unusual golf event that has happened to me.

Mine was recent.

Me and my foursome got to the 18th green to find  3 mysterious balls just laying next to the green.  Looked like old balls someone just threw out.  I had my PW and SW in my hand.  I chipped my ball with my SW from about 30 yards out and got like 10ft from the hole.

I then walked past the other balls (about 25 yds in) and just playing around with my PW   IN ONE HAND  hit one of the balls.  The ball flops up in the air, hits the fringe,  breaks about 5 foot to the left and drops IN THE HOLE with perfect speed.

One guy fell down laughing, I fell down laughing, one flipped his putter and walked away and the other went to the cart to laugh and drink his beer.

Was one of the craziest one handed shots I have ever saw.

2nd hole on a course I play... Par 5 dogleg right and a road that you tee off over and it runs along the dogleg on the right side.  OB is along the edge of the road.   I snap hook my ball off the tee, nail a tree on the edge of the woods to the left of the fairway, and it flies 90 degrees right and OB just past the road :(

Another at a different course while trying to lightly punch a ball out of the woods, it strikes a tree about 20yds in front of me, comes back and I catch it.  I'm sure that's a two stroke penalty lol

    • It’s simple. Hook it onto the tee box of the adjacent hole. Get a GIR with your approach. Birdie hole. #5 Hook it to the adjacent fairway Hit green with next shot. Birdie hole. I call it the Bill Method.
    • I’ll have to pay attention more attention to the area when I’m there. I know the area to the left of the bunkers off the tee is fescue/native vegetation but I can’t remember what’s around the tee boxes. Something to consider still is that you can’t see the green from the tee. You can’t even see all three bunkers IIRC. So I could have a line on the drive but still not know where it ends up. I think I’d be a lot more comfortable going with driver if I played here more regularly and had a log in my head of where shots tend to end up like I do at the other county courses. I have never hit driver on this hole off the blue tees. I have done it from the gold, but the length and angle are different, and during casual rounds when I didn’t care that much about score. I’m not sure the best time to try it is the second hole of a tournament. Or at the very least, I’m uncomfortable with the idea and that’s probably enough reason not to do it. I see what you’re saying. Wind is supposed to be pushing out more to the right on Saturday, too. I could probably aim right at the bunker and not end up in it. I don’t think there’s anything near the green other than that tiny bunker that would give me trouble. Well, trouble in addition to my short game deficiencies that is. Yea, me too. All I’m thinking is get it in play, put it near the green, chip on and two putt for 5. I’ll have plenty of opportunities to use my length as an advantage later. You realize all of this theory crafting will be moot when I chunk it off the tee, right? 😆
