My brother-in-law once forgot one of his clubs on the previous green. We were standing on the fairway waiting for the group ahead of us to clear the green when he realized he left his club behind. He decides to run back to get it. It's about a 300 yard run back, so he takes off, and I just stand there waiting for the group ahead of us. Eventually they finish on the green, and I hit my approach shot. I can't remember if I landed it on the green or not... probably not. Anyway, I'm now on the green lining up my putt when my brother-in-law comes running back up the fairway. Stops at his ball, and hits his approach shot right away. It lands on the green about 30 feet from the hole. I have now holed out and am picking up my ball. He runs up to his ball on the green, and without reading the green or taking a practice swing, goes up to his ball and putts away... and sinks it.
I couldn't believe it. After running 600 yards, he hits two of his best shots all day.
I told him he should run for the rest of the round. Oh, and he found his club too.
