I just started playing a few months ago.  Tonight was a VERY odd and a bit scary ha.  I was teeing off and a bear came out of the woods about 90 yards from me.  What made this even more insane for me was that I am 36 and I have never seen a bear in my life until tonight!  What about you ?  What are some of your odd experiences?  Anyone ever get hit by lightning etc

I watched a funnel cloud form while on the golf course yesterday. It was a few miles away, but freaky.

I've been chased by a baby skunk before... that's as bad as I've had it so far. Had to get a picture, he was cute. Lol

I've been chased by geese and hit strange shots that have even gone backwards due to obstacles. Haha. This happened when my friend was playing a round. The dog jumped a 5 foot fence... [VIDEO]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8eJDNRKiTM[/VIDEO]

Not my experience, but my gf was playing golf last weekend with her mates and they found some guy nude sunbathing and later on found him beating off in the trees...

On a fairway in Virginia (BRGC) had a red fox lurking in the OB area. I was told later they snatch food from carts.

On the first tee a couple of years ago, about ready to tee off when we hear a bunch of shouting...... above us.  A hot air balloon is coming right at us.  Landed right on the box!  Pilot apologized profusely.  Seems that that was the only option he had at the time having somehow misjudged his altitude and was unable to get back up in time to avoid other obstructions.

I play a course that is bordered by a county park which is bordered by a local college....... It was early fall and we here on the 7th hole and we seen a bunch of clothes piled on the ground next to bushes. As we turned a corner about 15-20 college chicks and guys came streaking our of the bushes screaming like crazy.... Was the strangest but funniest thing I ever saw. I try to play that course every fall! :)

I played a few weeks ago on a very nice course that is in the woods. On about the 7th hole, there was a snapping turtle walking across the fairway. He was probably a foot and a half long. Walked on down and into the woods. The strange part was that this hole was elevated and there was no water with at least 500 yards of the spot he was at, so I'm not sure where he was coming from or going to.

I regularly golf next to the Air Force base I'm stationed and last fall I saw an aircraft that I never knew existed, at the time at least. I watched a NASA Super Guppy come in and land and then take off about an hour or so later.

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      PING G425 9 Iron Rattle/Noise

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
