Played yesterday, and my ball is on first cut 20 ft from pin. PP is 6ft to right of me. Him to putt first. Wind blows his rubbish bag over agin so he stands bag up then putts. Ball breaks a lot more than I expected so I thought walk back 10 ft down banking behind me to get a better line. Takes two steps and bang, I am falling backwards and rolling down the bloody banking. After about five rolls with pike I am at the bottom of the banking face down in the muddy grass. After a quick systems check. I asked happened there (in my best Sunday language).
PP said he put his bag three foot behind me and thought I had seen it. I was covered in muck.
Best bit I rolled a twenty footer down hill which moved three foot left to right and went in the hole Lhs when the ball had literally stopped for par.
So any accidents/incidents on the course
 
Not myself, but I hooked a drive onto another fairway, the group playing that hole were up ahead and waved back, allowing me to play over them and get back onto my fairway, well when one of them turned around to wave he left his trolley running and it went straight into the lake! I felt so bad!
 
I performed some impromptu acrobatics in a bunker @ Morecambe last year.

Fortunately i was playing with Stu C and Wolf Man. Two upstanding gentleman whos only concern was my wellbeing.
 
I've been run over by a buggy and fallen in a lake on the golf course, and both happened in the same week. The buggy physically hurt more, the lake hurt my pride more. Not sure what's worse. The next holiday, my driver head decided to leave the shaft on the 2nd day of a 2 week golf trip. I don't think I should play golf in Spain, it's not good for me.
 
First time I ever played the bloke who took me did something really funny. He was right handed but placed his left hand under his right when gripping the club. He was a bloody awful golfer to be honest. It was the first tee, and he drove the ball along the floor, it hit the ladies marker, rebounded back, just missed his head, and landed 20 yards behind him. I cried with laughter, as did the rest of us.
 
I got run over by a golf buggy once I bounced off the plastic windscreen and carried on walking as cool as anything. Was very funny.
 
I nearly killed my 2 pp's a few years back, there was a road running through the course and the crossing was reached down a gravel drive, anyway, they were ahead and had stopped and I was reviewing my performance on the last hole, straight into the back of them shunting them out in to the path of a 4x4 travelling at about 60mph - which fortunately serves round them (and nearly crashed in doing so).
There were a few shaky nerves on the next tee!
 
Errant drive over trees to next fairway on a 340 yard par 4. Get to ball, can easy fly ball over trees to flag but can't see flag so walk forward until I can see the flag, get in a position where I can see flag and ball and then start to walk backwards.... at a point where I think I'm close to the ball I turn my around and smack straight into a tree, cue cut above left eye, lots of blood and a nice bruise the next day. Finished that hole, the next par 3 and then there's a toilet block where I got cleaned up to some extent. Played one more hole but wouldn't stop bleeding so had to call the round.
 
I tee'd off on the 17th at my place, it has a very elevated tee with a very steep, long, grass hill to walk/drive the buggy down. Just as I got in my buggy the next group arrived on the tee.

I drove off down this very steep hill, but spotted a sleeve of balls halfway down. Rather than stopping and picking them up I decided to hang out the side and grab them on my drive past... Worst idea I have ever had. As I lent over to grab them, I must have pulled the steering wheel as the buggy spun round, flinging me out of the seat and onto the grass, running my leg over and then driving off down the hill towards the stream. I had to run after it and jump back in to stop it going in the water.

Needless to say I didn't dare look back at the tee to see what the other group we doing! and the worst part was the sleeve of balls was just an empty sleeve... Damn you litter bugs!!!!

Okay, this is really something that no holywood screenwright could have written better :D Especially the fact that the sleeve was empty.
 
Played Matfen Hall, Northumberland in September 2015. One of the first tees (27 hole complex) is along a path and across a road. As we were driving our buggy across this we noticed a big puddle so edged out a bit so cars would have to keep out of the puddle when passing us. When we got across, I turned round to see the schoolboy error of the buggy behind us which had held back and got sprayed 'Bridget Jones' style by a passing 4x4. Wish I had filmed this but 'You've Been Framed' don't have to send me their money on this occasion.
 
My PP - his ball was close up to a small but un-staked tree. Took a couple of gentle / half practice swings so I am thinking he was just knocking it forward as best he could.

He then swung fully at the ball and as he passed it the club deformed around the tree and went right round and hit him in the back of the knee.

He was hobbling round and without a 6 iron for the rest of the round so we shouldn't have laughed but it was very amusing
 
Was standing on river bank one day looking for a ball during the winter league, bank gave way under my right foot just the width of my leg , leg got stuck I had to actually step down into the river to get leg out , wet up to the waist on a winter Sun morn ,
Soggy walk back to clubhouse
