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]

Ones played with our man's competition in Belgium at the Five Nations golfclub.

They placed a flag in the bunker

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 was trying to teach an attractive college girl how to play golf and somehow we ended up in the deep woods in the golf cart.

Was strange but hott!


Last year I had a fox take a cliff bar right out of my golf cart.

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 had seen several times young, very attractive females out there with tiny volleyball shorts on.... off topic, but your comment made me think of them.

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.

    • Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.

    • Hmm... I not sure I completely understand. If the course has a no smoking policy, then he shouldn't smoke at the course.  I'm assuming since you are aware of the policy, it must be written down somewhere.  As far as getting disqualified from the tournament, I would think that would be up to the committee. But it feels like it is within their power to disqualify, so why take the chance?
