Best Shot You've Ever Witnessed (not by you)

[BuckeyeNut]

Little bit of an oldish thread, but have to say the best (worst) hole in one I have ever heard or seen happened to my playing partner during high school tryouts. The hole is a 130 yd par 3 with a bunker and drop-off left and a giant hill with the cart path on the right. The guy hit a dead shank which hit the cart path, kicked off of a tree, hit the cart path again, and rolled down the hill on the green and in. We were incredulous that such could happen. Needless to say, the guy doubled the next hole, so the golf gods can giveth, but they also taketh away.

LOL....I "overheard" something very similar once.   I can't say I was a witness because I didn't see it.   My group was standing next to an adjacent tee box where another group was playing this little downhill par3 that is surrounded by forest.  We were on another tee box playing in a different direction.  One of the players curses.....we hear "LUMBER" as his ball hits the trees........and then they all went berserk!  .........the ball bounced out of the trees and into the cup for an ace.

Steve Lowery's double eagle on the 17th hole at Castle Pines in the final round of the 2002 International.   He holed out from 217 yards uphill.  I was marshaling that hole that day.  He missed a 10 foot putt on 18 which would have jumped him past Rich Beem for the win.  Lowery came up one point short in the modified Stableford format they used for scoring.

I have holed out from 152 yards on a par 4 for eagle . Full 8 iron and it one hopped , hit the pin, and dropped . I have also witnessed a few friends ace par 3's .
