What is your best cart path bounce story?

Last year in a four person scramble we had caught up to the group in front of us because the par 3 17th was a hole where you could pay 5 bucks and if your first shot lands on the green you get entered to win an R11 driver.  One of the gentleman in front of us pulls a hybrid about 15 yards left of the hole.  The ball take a bounce straight right off the cart path ( the cart path goes up hill and angles to the right) and rolls up to within 2 feet.  (Lucky Bastard!)

I was playing at a course with asphalt cart paths and I hit a perfect 4 iron into a par 5. The path curled around the back side of the green and my ball hit the path dead on and bounced over a foursome teeing off on another hole. They told me to go ahead and play it on the fairway they were teeing off from, and with everyone watching I holed my 60 yard chip. Best eagle ever.

Best ever for me wasn't exactly a cart path (my home course doesn't have full cart paths, just around tees and greens).

This one was an unpaved maintenance track worn in the rough about 25 yards left of the fairway on a 400 yard par 4.  I yanked my drive and landed on the hardpan road.  Because of a slight downslope and the fact that the track was slightly rutted, the ball just took off like a shot and ended up even with the front of the green, about 30 yards right of it.  That was still my longest drive ever, some 390 yards, and that was back in 1990 playing a Tour Balata 100 with a tiny head, 8.5° TM Tour Driver.  No super ball with a spring effect driver.

Hometown course, par 5 - 485 yard hole #8.  Runs down the edge of the course.  Left is OOB and a city road which runs almost the length of the hole.

Hit a strong drive and lost it in the sun - felt like 250 or so and I did pull a bit left but it was fading back when I lost it.  heard nothing.

ended up playing a 2nd ball and a couple shots later, we are moving up to the green and there the first ball was...behind a bush about 30 yards short of the green

lucky there weren't pedestrians or cars along that road

305 yard par four, cart path starts about 225...  Men's league night.  Foursome ahead putting, but I'm WAY safe.  Right?!?!  I hit 3W, as I'm no big stick and just trying to get to the right yardage for approach.  My slicing ball hits the VERY corner of the cart path on the fly, comes back across the fairway at an almost 45* angle and splits the guys at the flag shoulder high on the very long next bounce and clears the green by 10 yards.

I apologized with all the vocabulary I have, but their version of the story remains that I hit through them with the longest drive ever.  What are friends for if not to give you a hard time all the time, right??  I'm constantly reminded that it is a "drivable par four".  Uhhhmmm, No.
