What's the strangest thing...........

[thecraw]

............. you've ever hit with a golf ball??

Following on from my little accident yesterday where I brained a poor innocent four legged friend what is the strangest or funniest thing you've hit or witnessed being hit by a wayward or well struck golf ball????

I'll start.

My cousin hit an ambulance which was going full pelt down the road with its sirens and lights on while playing at Ayr Bellisle a few years back.

A friend hit a horse in the field to the left on the first hole at Rothesay as well. The horse went raj! I was bricking it in case it jumped the fence.

Who else has an interesting story???


:lol:

Many a swimming pool on tour.I have also managed to blooter a horse at Newbiggin.

A hot dog stall at Plzen is possibly one of my more obscure ones.Along with my pro v I also had onions with it.

an old friend of mine who hunted and fished a lot , hit and killed a rabbit with one of his daisy cutter drives. he said its better than an albatross birdie or eagle at least i can have it for dinner

A moving taxi at Verulam in a junior scratch open. The last par 3 over a road (they have a massive net short of the road and a hedge on the far side). Having thinned a wedge from a bunker OOB earlier in the round when in contention said helicoptered wedge had been left out there so didnt have the right club for the hole. Tried to smash a sand iron but it went too high and too short. Pitched onto an asian fella's cab bonnet as he was driving past, hopped the hedge and ran up to gimme length for a 2 lol. Thankfully was a nearest the pin hole and the officials dealt with a rather irate cabbie

Aye, theres a few of them kicking about round Newbiggin, for sure




Me...........Played with a mate who sliced one into a Double decker bus going past the 3rd at Garesfield

I was also on the practice putting green 1 night last summer, at westerhope, when I seen a guy hit a wild hook, up 18, straight over me, into car park, smash a car windscreen............only for it to turn out to be HIS CAR............!!!

I hit a coal train twice 2 weeks ago from our 4 the winter tee. Hit a massive pull just as it begun to pass and walloped it. Reloaded and hit the last carriage.very satisfactory clunk. Obviously would've waited if it was a passenger train. Couldn't have done it if I tried

Haha class.

Hit the back of a Rolls Royce that was leaving Lumley Hall (I think) when I was playing at Chester-Le-Street. I hooked one off the tee and it smashed in to the back of it. It kept on driving down the lane thank god.

bigslice has a nifty knack of hitting the clubhouse at ours

 

[Fader]

Yet to really play anywhere that can hit anything strange.

There is a story of a guy at my club that supposedly hit a seagull in full flight with his drive at our 9th hole, apparently took the birds head clean off its neck whilst his ball carried into toward the fairway. Can't see it being a true story though as I've played with the guy that supposedly did it and his driving barely gets high enough to give the ball a nose bleed let alone threaten a seagull.

I hit a train whist on the links at Arbroath.

 

[duncan mackie]

after hitting a drive 'low and hard' a buggy appeared over the slope heading towards us.......ball went straight through the perspex screen dead centre, punching out a piece, and continued on it's way......

the subsequent discussions with the pro over who was paying whom what were bizarre to say the least - not helped by my being the event organiser.

 

[FairwayDodger]

I hit the clubhouse roof at Hopeman; ball bounced down greenside and I still made par. It's fair to say I was battling a bit of the slices that day! However, I bet I'm neither the first nor last person to do that there!

 

[sydney greenstreet]

Apart from the sweet spot(That is strange),Probably the practise putting green with a thinned wedge over the green and boundary to land on the practise green.

 

[virtuocity]

My cousin hit a cow with a wild slice when we were 12. It didn't even flinch.

 

[Tab373]

A mate killed a pigeon sat on a fence and also hit a horse not with same ball. I've thinned a shot up a ducks backside. The sound it made I nearly wet my self with laughter. Duck was ok

 

[Imurg]

I don't think I've hit anything particularly strange but I did witness a Mate drive off the first at my old place, hook the ball OB, smack a cow right on the jacksy, the ball then bounced back in bounds centre of the fairway from where he went on to make a birdie.....

 

[shivas irons]

Just after I took the game up some 20years ago a particular nasty daisy cutter that never got higher that 6 inches took out a moorhen,the bird stopped for a second and then amazingly scuttled off! Whilst I was caddying on the Seniors Tour there was a story relayed a few times to me that Westwood I think it was who was playing at Wentworth drove he's ball into the back of a truck that was crossing the fairway,he apparently still claims its the longest drive ever........

 

[Oddsocks]

My cousin , square in the jaw from about 15ft with a shanked 7i! Awesome

 

[Doon frae Troon]

One down playing the last at North Berwick to a much better player.
Bit of a sea haar so you could only see about 100 yards.
He hits a beauty which I suspected was on or near the green.
I launch myself into one and feel it is going right.
Very still day so I listen hard.
Sure enough a loud clang tells me I have made contact with the car park.
Wandering down the side of the fairway, getting ready to say 'Naw it wisnae me'
Spot my opponents ball about 5 yards from the pin.
Wander across to shake his hand as he lines up his putt.
He stops suddenly and says 'Its not my ball'
His was over the back of the green.
I miss, he gets down in two.

Maybe not the strangest thing I hit but must be one of the luckiest.

Playing in Spain with my brother a few years ago. He hit a huge slice off the tee and it headed straight towards a line of villas.
Much noise was soon heard!
We went to find his ball to discover it had anded in a villa's patio area and ricocheted around the 15 or so people who were having a meal.
Nobody was hurt..........................but a few were angry. It was a magnificent moment when he actually asked for his ball back!
Happy days.

Slime.
