Playing at Woburn on Tuesday, came to the 2nd hole (par 5).
Hit a reasonable drive, still quite a way out so then hit a nice 5 iron down towards the green, which left me about 125 to go.
Decided to play a nice, "easy" 9 iron but thinned it. It never got more than about 3 feet off the deck and was heading straight for a greenside bunker.
Ball hit the banking, kicked up and rolled across the green at a fair old pace, hit the flagstick and dropped for an eagle and 5 points.
We laughed about it but if I hadn't hit the flag stick I could have easily walked away from that hole with only a point, maybe worse the way I was playing.
:o:o
 
Singles matchplay, over the back of a par 5 in 3. Opponent about 4' from the pin in 3. I thin my chip, and it was motoring, which then hits his ball and goes in the hole for a birdie. He misses his birdie putt.
 
Two spring to mind

2nd into a par 4 (at that time it was a two shot hole) gracefully fading & bending away from the green high into a greenside tree but the ricochet out toward the green & flag meant it came to rest 6 feet from the hole (lipped the putt though)

Other one was a par 3 and I hit a skimmer that was heading for the burn in front of the green but as it entered it hit off a rock that lifted it up and heading toward the flag, again leaving a short'ish putt (this one I made)

I've never had the full 'jammie effect' by holing out from a duff shot, bet it tastes good though?
 
One I witnessed playing with my old mate Ray Taylor, (who has to be the luckiest golfer I have ever played with).
Playing at Crowborough Beacon, got to the par 3 3rd. There used to be a big horseshoe bunker in front of the green.
He had landed in there from his tee shot, went to play out but thinned it, hit the bank and dropped back in.
He then played his 3rd shot, thinned it again but this time it hit the top of the bank, flew about 20 feet up into the air, came down and bounced twice before dropping in the cup.
If his ball had come out about a foot higher he would have flown everything and ended up in the trees out the back of the green.
 
Blimey, there are quite a few but two that stand out are the hooked tee shot on the 17th at RAGC that was so far OOB it was almost at Mill Ride but somehow bounced back into play and onto the green, I holed the putt for birdie.

Then there's the tee shot I hit on the 17th at Silvermere (must be something about Par 3 17th holes) that bounced on the lake 4 times before scrambling onto the green - I holed that for birdie too :D
 
New contender recently. Hooked my tee shot so far left and OOB that I was already walking to the bag to reload. Heard my PP's say something about "jammy git" and assumed the next player had done something outrageous. Turns out my ball had a rethink and fought a valiant battle back through the evil forest to reach the safety of the fairway. Five wood, pitch to six feet and then sink the putt for the par. Happy times
 
At a friends course there is a spectacular 300 yard long, 100 yard downhill par 4 with OOB on the left and a lake in front and left of the green. The sensible thing is to hit 6-7i down to the fairway for an easy wedge in, but I was playing so badly I gave it a go with driver. The ball went so far left it was definitely OOB and lost. Hit a provisional 6i to centre fairway.

Went down to the green and there was a rogue ball on the green, checked it and it was mine! missed the eagle putt but walked with a birdie and still have no real idea to the day how it made it to the green.
Logically the only thing it could have done would have been hit a tree, bounced out onto the cart path, bounced over the water and settled on the green!
 
Hit drive and it hooked left and heading for OOB. Young couple walking down the path so I shouted FORE as loud as I could. Hit the guy on the chest (he was wearing a big body warmer) and bounced off him back on to the golf course. Hit a 6 iron to the green and two-putted for par.
 
I used to quite regularly off the tee find a 3ft gap in a hedge 200yds away. My buddy used to tell me I was jammy - but you can't be jammy all the time - I was adamant that aimed for the gap (I didn't really - I was jammy)
 
Mine was on a 115 yard par 3.....left and (far) right of the green are ditches/streams with a bunker to the right also.

I hit an awful push into the right hand ditch about pin high. I got to my ball and it wasn't sitting too badly but between myself and the green was the bunker and a 15 foot artificial grass path.....I decided to give it a whack and shouted to my PPs that I was either going to thin it or hole it so stand back....... I took my swing and the ball took one bounce off the artificial path and then tracked across the green and straight into the hole for my bird.

For some reason they always say that I'm a lucky golfer.......
 
A couple come to mind, playing the last at Pleasington in an open, thinned a chip on the last from just short of the green and it hit the flagstick dead centre and dropped in for a birdie, not an over unusual event but it meant that I won the comp on a CPO.

More recently yesterday in our comp I attempted a risky shot through trees to clear a hazard about 120 yards away, the ball hit a branch, ricocheted off, hit the path over the hazard bounce up and landed safely on the fairway, I pitched on and walked off with my par.
 
Tee shot on par three heading OoB - clattered high up in trees lining OoB and fired it up in the air back towards the green. Ball drops and lands just on the greenside slope of a greenside bunker; ball shoots across the green; hits the bottom of the flag and drops into the hole. It wisnae me - but I saw it. Me and my foursomes buddy lost the hole. They admitted they were lucky in winning that hole as our ball was on the green. That's golf for you I suppose.
 
Not my shot but one I will never forget.

My first ever KO match at my club back in 1989. My opponent airmailed the green on his approach to the 13th (which was extremely close to the perimeter fence). The ball flew over the fence, bounced on the pavement at the other side of the road, and on its way back into the air was deflected back onto the golf course via a picket fence. We halved the hole in par and I lost the match 1 down.
 
LincolnQuaker hit about 81 jammy shots at Worksop last weekend, one of the luckiest, yet scruffiest rounds of golf I've ever seen.

One I remember, about 20 years ago at Braid Hills in Edinburgh. Par 3 at the top of the hill with a mound in front of the green so you can't see it (can't remember which hole).

Skulled my tee shot, ran all the way along the fairway and over the mound. We were laughing about it making it onto the green, when we got up there it was about 5mm short of going in....

Would almost have been ashamed to make a hole in one that way!
