Certainly agree - out of character and unnecessary for the hole. Not sure about the hole though - a bit nothingish. I'm sure it would have been different originally - before the 'new' clubhouse.
I've seen a few hilarious incidents - including someone clearing the patio of Silvermere (before they put the protective barriers up). Most amusing as the shot of a mate on the Par 3 9th of Brockett Melbourne to halve the match - having started on the 10th. A semi-shank that hit the road, shot miles up in the air, raced down the bank, up onto the green and into the hole!

There was an 'awkward' funny moment on the PGA tour once.
the two people involved were Robert Lee (I am sure it was Rob) and Richard Boxall.
It was on a Sunday and some outsider had been riding the crest of a wave all tournament long to effectively implode on the back 9 on Sunday. Poor guy played himself out of contention and finished well off the pace.
The commentators had been talking about his run of poor golf when it mattered most and Robert Lee said 'just like our very own Richard Boxall' ...

...
Tumble weed as the mics were possibly silenced and Lee got a bit of an earful

Lee: "I'd just like to sincerely apologise to my colleague Richard Boxall for my ill judged words" ...
Hahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha, humiliating.

Another funny with the commentators for the European Tour I heard was Fredrik Andersson-Hed I can't remember which commentator it was that seemingly unwittingly stumbled to this statement:-
"I remember when he was just Fredrik Andersson before his wife gave him the...erm...." and then changed the subject!

Monday just gone and we are on the 6th tee box, adjacent is the 5th green and decided to let this guy play his chip from the rough close to where we are stood.
He took a long sweeping swing at it and completely skulled it..
..as its hurtling at knee high height towards the green he barks out, 'be rightttt, be rightt'
I actually splurted my mountain dew out, he must've known he sounded like a pillock

Heard this recently and apparently based on a 'true incident' but take it with a pinch of salt.
3 guys were about to tee off at Sunningdale, when the starter asked them if they let another guy join them. He was running late and had missed his group. So they agreed. The guy was running from the car park. Without waiting for the introductions, he took a few practice swings and then thinned his tee shot. The ball kept running and it looked finished ok at the end. 'Bloody Sally Gunnell' he muttered as he walked off.
He got off the tee and introduced himself.
'Hi,I am Mike' he said to the first guy in the group.
'Hi, I am Jon Bigg - husband of Sally Gunnell' he replied.
It was a very quiet round after that..

Ladies tee post reminded me of one. A certain forumer failing to get past the ladies tee on a 90 yard par 3. One of the very few times I've been able to laugh at them rather than the other way round.

Pensioner on the 18th green putting out to win the roll up when a funeral drives slowly past. The pensioner stands and doffs his cap as it passes then get back down to his putt. "Very admiral of you" say his playing partners "especially as you take the money if you hole that putt" "well" said the pensioner "I was married to her for 40 years"

​A businessman was attending a conference in Africa. He had a free day and wanted to play a round of golf and was directed to a golf course in the nearby jungle. After a short journey, he arrived at the course and asked the pro if he could get on.
"Sure," said the pro, "What’s your handicap?"
Not wanting to admit that he had an 18 handicap, he decided to cut it a bit. “Well, it’s 16,†said the businessman, “But what’s the relevance since I’ll be playing aloneâ€
"It’s very important for us to know," said the pro, who then called a caddy.
"Go out with this gentleman," said the pro, "his handicap is 16."
The businessman was very surprised at this constant reference to his handicap. The caddy picked up the businessman’s bag and a large rifle. Again, the businessman was surprised, but decided to ask no questions.
They arrived on the 1st hole, a par-4. “It’s wise to avoid those trees on the left,†said the caddy.
Needless to say, the businessman duck-hooked his ball into the trees. He found his ball and was about to punch it out when he heard the loud crack of the rifle and a large snake fell dead from a tree above his head. The caddy stood next to him with the rifle smoking in his hand.
"That’s the Black Mamba, the most poisonous snake in all Africa. You’re lucky I was here with you!"
After taking a bogey, they moved to the 2nd hole, a par-5.
"Good to avoid those bushes on the right," says the caddy. Of course, the businessman’s ball went straight into the bushes. As he went to pick up his ball, he heard the loud crack of the caddy’s rifle once again, and a huge lion fell dead at his feet.
"I’ve saved your life again," said the caddy.
The 3rd hole was a par-3 with a lake in front of the green. The businessman’s ball came up just short of the green and rolled back to the edge of the water. To take a shot, he had to stand with one foot in the lake. As he was about to swing, a large crocodile emerged from the water and bit off much of his right leg.
As he fell to the ground bleeding and in great pain, he saw the caddy with the rifle propped at his side, looking on unconcernedly.
"Why didn’t you kill it" asked the man incredulously. "I’m sorry, sir," said the caddy. "This hole is stroke 17. You don’t get a shot here."
And that, my golfing friends, is why you should never lie about your handicap!
