Saw a guy pushing his clubs in a pram around Altrincham Muni GC a few years back. Not sure if there was a kiddie in amongst them but it was a one of those funny double take moment's.

Friend of mine hit a Canadian goose straight up the jacksie with a thinned 3 wood from about 50 yards.

In the 1920's my grandfather made the front page of the Edinburgh Evening News with a 'Golfer Kills Seagull' headline.

Two that I can remember. The guy I was playing with in a medal at Dunbar, he flushed the ball at the par three 5th, right down the flag, hits the top section of the flag, it’s like a castle, the ball bounced high in the air, hit the OOB wall and came back just short of the green.
Pro day at Royal Musselburgh. There’s a line down the centre of the first fairway, nearest or on the line wins a new driver. Guy hits it into the trees, out onto the fairway, slap bang on the line….new driver, he needed it.

I hit a sheep in the middle of the first fairway at Cleeve Hill. Unbelievable I know, me in the middle of a fairway.:mmm:
Playing at Royal North Devon this year, partner hit the a moving green keepers tractor on the fairway. Smashed into the roof, then took off with overspin, and finished 50 yards further than he normally drives.

another old pal who used to be a 5 h/c member of wishaw gc . many years ago while playing the 1st at the old santa ponsa course in mallorca he hit a huge slice at least a 100yrds of line breaking the main clubhouse window , i think he still has a photo of him and the club pro standing infront of the broken window holding the offending ball
Hit a horse at Wimbledon Common. It came trotting out from the bushes left of the 5th fairway. The ball was already on the way and balata and hind quarters met. The horse was off and the young girl was holding on like one of those cartoons. Horse and rider unharmed

A guy I was playing junior pennants against as a kid hit a drive OOB only for it to bounce continually for a good hundred extra metres down the road then hit a cyclist and bounced back in bounds near the green on a fairly long par 4 - he ended up making a ridiculous birdie. I knew it wasn't my day when a few holes later he holed out for eagle from about 150.
Also as a junior a guy I was playing with rope hooked a drive OOB on the 18th into the door of an ongoing car. Fairly regular occurrence at the course in question, but the funny part was when he reloaded and hooked another one into another car. We all got a stern talking to from the club secretary when we reached the clubhouse who took a bit of convincing that our mate hadn't deliberately been firing balls at cars after having had 2 cars drive in together with golf ball damage.

First a Tain, pulled wedge, came down right on the head of a jackdaw. It staggered about for a few minutes than dropped down dead!

On my local course, our 5th par 5 tees off over gorse bushes. I thinned a driver only to find a blackbird sitting on top of the bush... not for much longer. I went over to the bushes to look for my ball and saw the blackbird laying there in the bottom of the bush, never found my ball though :angry:

I've seen a fellow drive a ball into a flock of seagulls once at Brent Valley. Caught one and it dropped out the sky. Poor sod didn't really know what to do... We all starred in amazement then carried on with the game, leaving the seagull on the course!

A couple of years ago Fragger skulled one towards a crow about 70 yards away
I will swear to my dying day that the crow say the ball coming and ducked just enough for the ball to miss by an inch...

Was playing at a local course called highpost, the first runs along side a main road, the old boy who we were playing with ( a member my mate knew ) hooked his tee shot over the trees and into the road, the ball hit a double decker bus, all on the top deck hit the floor and the ball came back onto the fairway, dead center.
He turned round to us and said, when playing here all you need is a good eye and the local bus time table, then walked off to scores a well made par !!

My best is a coffee cup. Toed one off the 10th hitting a full coffee cup on table on the patio at the back of the club. Best of it was the ball went on towards the trees, hits a tree, loops back out and lands in the middle of the fairway. 5 minutes later we were able to compose ourselves enough to carry on the round.

When I was about 12 years old me and my mates used to hit balls around a field right next to a main road:mmm:
One day I accidently hit it onto the road, where it bounced once before hitting the windscreen of a moving car, which knocked the ball forward. The driver didn't stop though, she continued to drive and the ball struck the windscreen again and again and again...
It ended up hitting the car windscreen 4 or 5 times, before we lost sight of it and the driver finally slammed her brakes on. Whether or not it actually went through the windscreen, I don't know? Needless to say we didn't exactly hang around to find out and we took a very scenic route home!!!
