I once played eighteen holes in less than twenty over par. which, considering the way I play, (nine holes in twenty over par) was not only strange, it was downright weird.

Answer 7

Here are a couple:

Last year I was playing golf in Scotland (on holiday) with my brother & brother-in-law. On a great course with panoramic views of the mountains all around us. We came to this par three and the green was way above the tee with some small trees in front of it. So obviously you couldn't see the green from the tee. You had to aim at a pole. Also there was a lot of heather. My brother-in-law hit his second. My brother said "That's right in the middle of the green" as it soared out of sight. After we had all hit we went to the green and we could only find 2 balls. We searched all over the heather which by the way was in full bloom and magnificent.  We couldn't find it anywhere. So my brother-in-law runs back to the tee to hit another one. Eventually we all got on the green. I went to take the pin out, looked down and there was my brother-in-law's ball right by the hole! He had scored a hole-in-one!

That's the second time I've played  with someone who has got one!



Last year I was playing on my own in the evening and I got to this par 3 and hit 3 balls. Just as the second one stopped on the green a fox (a  young one I think) ran onto the green and nicked it! Never did get it back. Young foxes I don't know what they're coming to these days.  

Answer 8

My boyfriend once hit a goose.  H'es also seen aligators when he golfs in myrtle beach.

Answer 9

Yes @ Woburn - which you might know is a rather deeply sculptured course - heavily wooded on both flanks of each hole by more pine trees than you could wave a stick at.

I was having a torrid, horrid time  - slicing all over the place - only to hear my ball bouncing from one tree to another, causing me immense grief.

I was ratcheting up some new UK all-comers' record for the worst score ever - but here's the strange bit.

Best friend alleges that around the 15th/16th hole - ? - he realised I was getting suicidal - possibly homicidal - and told me to calm down - think about s*x. I nailed a ball to within 2 feet of the par 3 hole and got a birdie. But we still argue about it 30 years later. I insist I didn't hear what he said - he insists I must have.  

Answer 10

Nothing strange but an incident which was heartwarming and showed the importance of being active.I called for a tee time as a single for 11:30 to noon. and was paired with an elderly couple. As the man was teeing his ball, the lady said " I hope you are tolerant  because he's not a very good golfer,He is 94 and has a wooden leg so he can't pivot ".  He hit the ball straight about 150 yards. Then the lady went to her tee and the old gent said " You know, we will have to watch her ball 'cause she is partially blind. She was great up until last year when she turned 85. She's lost some of her spunk". As we played they informed me that they were only playing 9 holes because it was a " little warm ". At the end of 9 they quit and I went to the snack bar for an OJ and peanut butter crackers which was close to the bar. There were the two of them, hoisting Martinis with him commenting " To you Hon. Hope we do as well tomorrow "

Answer 11
