What is the strangest thing you have seen on the course?

Played Villamartin in Costa Blanca with my dad a few years back, I cant remember the hole but my dad took this God almighty swing, sliced/pushed it, it curved that much it entered the wooded area and all we heard was a loud crack followed by a bird falling out of the same tree and stumbling about in shock not knowing what had nearly hit it, I have never laughed so much in my life.

Thanks Atticus I thought the black socks and shoes faux pas would get me some abuse (and i agree its is deserved !!)

Funniest thing I ever saw was a guy at a local muni with his golf clubs in a pram . . .with his wife pushing !!!

Dave, yes !! fade was the safe option on that hole as there is a 200ft drop off the left hand side into a very deep canyon. Anyone hitting a draw or hugging the left is rewarded with an easier shot to the green , but it's risky !!

For me it has to be when a mate and I were playing at Orton Meadows in Peterborough. There are a large number of geese on the course and one proceeded to walk up behind my mate and honk loudly as he was taking his swing. Needless to say what followed was a massive fresh air shot as he jumped and spun mid swing. Now it is rare that he can put a ball on a tee without someone honking in the background.

He hit his shot thin and fired it straight into the concrete marker post on the ladies tee. It hit flush flew straight past his head (at the speed it was travelling no doubt it would have killed him outright) and ran all the way back across the fairway behind into the light rough.

Incredible....this matches (almost to the letter) one of my favourite real-life happenings. A lad at the club (off 18 at the time) had got to the last hole of our Open (medal) about 7 over-ish, going great etc.etc. Ended up on the 17th green, made an 8 down the par 4 last.....

lightening does strike twice!!!

Cows!!!!
A whole herd of them came meandering onto the course with a rather well hung bull making up the rearguard.
We assumed they had escaped from an adjoining farmers field.
The course cleared quickly as you would expect but the bovine armoured division trampled it's way over three greens and two fairways until they made their exit through a gap in the hedge some distance away.

Strange how this phenomenon was witnessed by several other club members from the sanctuary of the clubhouse!!!

I was playing at a course near Kidderminster a while back, we were walking up the 17th fairway when a car with 4 lads in it cruised slowly past in the opposite direction on the adjacent fairway. Guess they misunderstood the phrase a drive up the middle.
