I ended up with a birdie off the side of a house on a par 5. Ripped a 5 iron way left on my approach...there is a house 40 yards from the greeen...I was cringing as the ball was flying hoping I didn't hear glass...I walk up there and there is a yard crew working on the yard and two old ladies sitting out there. I apologized and asked if anyone was OK and made sure I didn't hit a window...they said we didn't even see a ball come this way. I walked to the green to playy provisional and lo and behold I see my first ball just short of the trap. It slammed off the stone facade of the house and ricochetEd 50 yards right. I chipped it over the trap onto the green leaving a tricky downhill left to right breaker from 18 feet. It broke about 7 feet dead center of the cup. Greatest birdie of mah life.

I know exactly who you're talking about. I use to work at a golf course and he along with posse would hit into everyone. The most entitled golfers you'll every play around. I use to grab the hole changer and stay one hole ahead of them putting them in the most impossible spots, only to move them after they played the round. My boss would catch hell

Watched my dad try to recover one of his clubs stuck high in a tree. At night and with a fishing pole. Hahaha

My nephew blowing an airhorn as the golfer was taking a swing.

"Swing and a miss!"

Worked at a course for a long time:

1. A guy got pegged in the forehead by a drive. Left a huge knot and you could see every dimple in his skin from the ball.

2. Beverage cart girl was sitting on top of a hill waiting on some players. She released the brake to move and started rolling down hill. In a panic she hit the gas instead of the brake and put the entire cart in the lake.

3. Catching a guy throw his entire set of irons and throw them into a pond. He didn't know anyone could see him.

Years ago we had a group go over to the Gulf Coast for a 3 day outing. One of the guys was real big, he was a DL at Miss. State when he was in college. The smallest guy in the group had one of those "exploding" golf balls so he distracted the big guy on the first tee. He hit his tee shot first then started ranting how the big guy couldn't drive it farther than that; got him to turn away from his teed up ball and we quickly switched them. The guy takes the biggest backswing possible and powers into the ball, POOF, a cloud of dust. We were falling down laughing, meanwhile he drops the driver and was chasing the instigator around the fairway wanting to kick his arse. After we settled him down, he got a good laugh out of it.

Teeing off on 16 at Webb I usually hit a slice and drive the green or close to it (short par 4). Well, my slice didn't slice and I killed a redheaded woodpecker that was in the first tree to the left of the fairway. Luckily my ball came back into the fairway and I was able to still get a birdie (2 birdies one hole, never been done before)

Playing 12 hole at Spanish Trail in Cade years ago. Cart path goes down a hill and makes a 90 to the right. Buddy driving says hold on. He tried to make the turn at WFO. Cart flipped on 2 wheels to his side. The whole time he had his foot out trying to kick it over. His spikes were throwing sparks everywhere.

Another buddy that can barely walk a straight line decides to take up golf and play with us. Dude got so mad after 3 holes he threw 3 brand new clubs in a pond.

Buddy of mine had to shite during some kind of tournament. The group he was with convinced him that they didn't have time for him to return to the clubhouse. The solution was that they would encircle him with golf carts so that he could not be seen. Mid dump they all drove away and left him in the middle of the fairway with half a turd on the hang.

He was permaband from the course.

Playing with a group of friends and guys kept hitting up on us. Came up to a hole that the sprinkler system was left on and green was soaked (thanks BREC). Found the valve and turned it off so we could try to finish hole. Guys hit up on us again on the green. So as we put the flag back I took a detour and flipped the valve and turned the sprinklers back on. Nothing better than watching the guy throw his hands up in disgust as we went to the next tee box.

My brother was hitting a nine iron to the green and the club let loose and landed closer to the hole than his ball like within a foot.

One of my friend's (we call him Doof) was golfing with his brother (we call him Clown) and his dad at a CC in NWLA. His dad absolutely shanks his drive and breaks somebody's window. The brother, clown, was cracking up and made fun of his dad by saying "that family was probably about to sit down to a nice meal and somebody reached across the table, picked up the golf ball and said 'well this isn't the deviled egg I wanted"

The dad was so mad that they left the course and didn't even bother finishing after they went and offered to repair the window.

Probably more appalling than funny but the first time I played a public course, I saw guys playing with their shirts off, usually tucked in their pants. I was kind of shocked that someone would do something so trashy.

When I was at LSU, there was a sign on the course that said, "Shirts required on the first tee". We removed them after teeing off. Looking back on it, I cannot believe I did that.

My mom used to work in the restaurant at a golf course in Chattanooga, TN so when I was out of school for the summer I'd go to the course with her and just spend the whole day golfing while she worked. Me and the head pros son decided to walk 9 holes. We get to the first tee and on the first tee the cart barn is directly to the left. He swings and hits the biggest shank I've ever seen him hit straight into the cart barn. The look on the cart boys face who was in the barn at the time was priceless.
