Most Penalty Strokes You've had on One Hole

[Pretzel]

Counting OB I've had 6 on a hole before. It was the first hole of a shotgun tournament (#3 at Eaton Coutry Club) with OB about 7 yards from the right edge of the fairway. I promptly sliced three OB in a row before "parring" for a 10.

The second hole on my league course has OB probably 10 yards right of the fairway, I've put 4 OB there. This year has been really bad for that because I've developed a push as my main miss with the driver...

I guessed, and voted 3. I have know idea what the number really is. Might be more. After counting them on my card, I have no reason to remember any poor shots. I am pretty sure my "most penalty strokes on one hole" probably involved a water hazard. Also, I would think that after 3 penalty strokes on one hole, that perhaps that ESC thing might kick in, on that hole, assuming I was not playing in a sanctioned event.

carded an 11 once with 4 OB in a tournament qualifier. Then proceeded to miss the cut by 2.

Here's Mark Crossfield taking 4 (and counting) penalty shots. I found it funny. Start around the 25:30 mark.

I made a 14 once in a tournament. My drive ricocheted ob, then I hit it right rough with a 210 force carry. Went for it and thought I was money, hits the slope rolls in. Then take 1 more club and mishit it into the water. Then out of embarrassment I try to just punch out left with my 4 iron, didn't get it in the air enough and that went in the water. Now I'm 230 out with an oak tree in the way, I lay up then almost get up and down. I made 14 but not sure if I recounted that right.

sometime about 3 months ago, I hit 6 shots OB in a row!

Ended up shooting +13 on that par 5!  won't be forgetting that hole for a long time.. and hopefully I never repeat that!

SIX?

Wow......I've gotta give you credit for determination, if nothing else!

You want to know the worst part?

It was the same round I shot a hole in one..

when ever things get bad, I'll always remember that they could be worst!

Well, you had to finish the round to turn in that card!

A "Hole in one club member", cool!

I've had three (sadly, more than once). One of the times was in three different "hazards" - lost ball into the woods right off the tee, second tee shot into a creek, third shot into the same creek further up (this was the 18th at Paxon Hollow in Media, PA).

I'm thankful that I'm not the only one that has quite a bit of Tin Cup in me.

All of these 3s were making me feel bad. Heck I've hit the ball either OB, lost, or short of clearing some water 3 times in a row more times than I could ever count up.

Ha!  There was definitely something in the air that day, because I ended up hitting 3 OB on a par 3 later on too.. I didn't mention it though because the OP was asking about the worst, and not all the instances..  I haven't done that since then though, so there is still hope!

I seem to be developing a little more common sense the last few years. Before that there wasn't a shot I didn't think I could hit even if I was consistently being proved wrong.

I'm pretty sure it's 4. I can remember taking 3 penalty strokes quite a few times, but I do recall one round where I dunked a few in a row but I don't recall exactly how many it added up to. Hell, maybe 5.
