What is the jammiest shot you have ever hit?????

In a greenside bunker at Cranley, caught it so well, the ball fired out like a rocket, hit the top of the flag and rolled down the stick into the hole! If it hadn't have hit the flag it would have cleared the green and gone in the water! so lucky! and it was my first chip in! ;)

I'll remind you of this one then Pedro. Only you could run through a bunker, up the riveted face and perch on the slope, which if gravity did its job, would have seen the ball roll back in :rofl:

 
Found the teebox side slope of a neighbouring teebox on our 16th par 5, next shot was a nightmare (25 yards or so), hanging downslope lie, not sitting great over a small valley, then a deep bunker and running downlsope from it to a flag with maybe 10 feet either side to stop it, being realistic I was looking at least 3 shots to get down,slam dunked it, ball never rose more than 4 feet off the ground level. :D Jammy didnt even get a look in.

My first hole in one

On our 11th I thinned my tee shot - it clattered into a tree behind the green ran back along the green smacked into the flag and dropped into the hole :whoo:

As I keep saying to youse all, there has to be more to it than luck for it to keep happening so often. Be it:-

1. Fades tend to come out of bunkers more due to the sidespin, whereas as big hitting "drawers" deserve all they get.

2. Its purely down to physics, man!

3. Maybe I see a course as a living, breathing natural wonderment with all its curves and borrows, and all seen with a 3D, HD colormax, widescreen, surround-sound appreciation of the little beauty.......whereas...... you lot see it on a Ferguson, black and white 22", 50p in the back, 3 channels only, wire clothes hanger aerial special. ;)

My new jedi, Birchy be his name, is coming on leaps, bounds, duffs and thins in his powers though, and will overtake me very soon.:thup:
 
Once saw someone hook their ~6 iron approach OB for it to rattle on some scaffolding on a building some 10 yards over the bushes and re-appear about 20 yards short of the green. He then thinned a wedge which would also have gone OB through the fence behind the green had it not rattled the flag and disappeared!...... Nice birdie on our stroke 1.

As for me, just the usual lucky ricochet here and there but nothing spectacular I can remember.
 
Up at Turnberry - thinned a greenside bunker shot, hit the face of the bunker,, jumped up into the air and finished 2 feet from the hole! Sank the put for an unexpected par. The golfing gods were definitely watching that day :-)

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.

What's this? I'm guessing he 'thinned' it?

That's not a 'chip in' - it's an 'in-off' :)

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

Definitely the jammiest shot I've ever witnessed...put my birdie for 3 points to shame.......in fact I started Birdie, birdie and wasn't even winning....tough school!!:rofl:
 
At a previous club par four car park on right tight fairway.A good drive with a tiny fade is the shot(brings car park in play).Driving well all day, so sod it out comes driver hit a massive slice hits a van roof and bounces on green.
then easy three putt.

At my first club we had a short par 4 of about 280 yards.
Mostly people would lay up s there was a ditch 80 yards short of the green so you had to carry over 200...
Sometimes ID get the driver out and give it some welly, only this time I didnt catch it...
There's a small bridge over the ditch with a small wall, 4-5 bricks high on either side.
My ball landed squarely on the top of the wall and took off, pitching again on the green and finishing about 5 feet from the pin.
Sunk the putt for a nice Eagle - easy game
 
In my younger days playing pitch and putt with my dad I hit a tree when teeing off (just left of the green) went up to find the ball nicely in the hole for hole in one lol

In proper golf 300 yard hole (down hill) pulled out my driver.. hit it.. went off left over the trees but visually fading back to fairway ish, couldnt find it anywhere until we looked at the back of the green and found it nicely on the back edge.. birdie lol
 
Two I can think of.

Shanked 2nd shot on a par 4 and took an unplayable to the original position, stuck the shot to within a few feet and holed the putt!

Other one was when taking up the game I hooked a shot on a par 3 that hit a fence and rolled up to about 6 feet, missed the putt of course :D
 
playing a bunker shot i totally thinned it, the ball was heading oob when it caught the flag.

The cloth wrapped around the ball and after a couple of seconds the ball dropped to about 5 inches from the hole for a sandy par.
 
Playing at Donnington Valley, 110yd par 3 9th, caught my tee shot a little thin, it cleared the green, landed on a patio table, hit the club house and bounced back onto the green - I was so thankful it just missed the window I 3 putted!
