Golf tryouts Junior year of HS. Guy who stunk it up on JV sophomore year and finished nearly last in every junior tournament that summer comes up to us on the practice green all hot shite. Claims he got an instructor and has been shooting in the 70's every round.

Gets up on first tee with us. The tee markers are metal. Hits it off the tee marker for one of the forward tees about 10 yards in front. Goes directly backwards into parking lot...which isn't OB for some reason.

He ended up with a 9 on the hole and quit after the front 9.

Similar situation involving a golf cart at a park at Keesler. Setting up a BBQ party at a pavilion and two of the other guys hop in to move the cart.

Passenger for whatever reason says "goose it, goose it!" And slams his foot on the driver's gas pedal foot.

Cart side swipes a tree on the passenger side, passenger's arm/side all scraped by tree, driver gets ejected from the cart about 3 or 4 feet. Once cart stops driver from the ground is just cursing a storm in front of all these military folks.

I saw it all and couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.

I witnessed a guy smoke a bird mid-flight Randy Johnson style, with this drive on hole 3 at Pinewood. The poor thing was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

My cousin and I were playing a round with our dads when we were maybe 9 or 10. They were letting us drive the carts. My cousin drove the cart into the water off a skinny bridge with no rails at Braithwaite. There was one really angry person, one terrified person, and two hysterical people that day.

In HS, my buddy hit one square at a tree and it came right back to him. In frustration, he swung at it as it rolled up and he smoked it down the middle and on the green from about 200. A nice combo of hilarity and amazement.

Another time, a friend was going for a par 5 in two. I farted in his backswing and he hit a bad shot right towards the cart path/tress. As we were watching and laughing, the ball hits the side of the path, which was raised above the compacted dirt, and ricocheted onto the green about 10 feet from the cup.

From working experience, I can tell you that people driving carts into the ditches at LSUs golf course happens more times than not.

I know of two similar events. One involved throwing his shorts away and then later having to dumpster dive for his keys. The other resulted in a guy being nicknamed, Shitty.

When I was a kid, probably 6 or so, I was playing with my grandparents. I was sitting in the cart and I think it was 9 at rapides cc is over a creek. There is a big slope down to the creek and parking brake wasnt pushed in on their cart. I was just sitting there and it started rolling, had no idea what to do. Some dude had to run me down, jump in the cart and slam the brake, probably stopped about 5 feet from going straight in.

Also once when I was about 15 i was playing and got pissed, slammed my 2 iron on the ground and it slipped out of my hand and flew back into the pond behind me. Had to pay some grounds keeper $20 to go swimming and get it for me. got the club back though!

I was at the Compaq Classic in 2003 watching Ernie, Vijay, and Choi on a par 3. The group gets to the tee and all of a sudden I notice no one is teeing off and all the players and caddies are just looking around everywhere. After about a minute, Ernie Els comes up to me and asks me to move my foot. I was standing on the yardage marker on the tee box so the caddies couldn't calculate actual yardage. I single handedly held up the Compaq Classic for about 2 minutes .
