I scored an Eagle today...by accident!...LOL

[Buckeye_Nut]

It was a hoot..... I laid back off the tee by hitting 3 wood. I had 257yds downhill to the pin and hit an Adams 2-iron hybrid for my 2nd shot trying to lay up just short of the green....and I absolutely nutted it!! The group ahead of us were putting on the green when my 2nd shot came to rest 5 feet from the pin..... Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!! Luckily... it landed just short and trickled up to the pin...so nobody was in danger of getting hurt.

I immediately drove up and apologized to them because I wasn't even trying to go for the green. I figured the closest I would get to the green was 20yds just short to give myself a good chance pitch it close on my 3rd shot. I told them my yardage and the club I hit when I apologized....they were very good sports!!

Then I gutted the 5 footer for eagle!! Ya gotta love it!! If I count the Ace....that was my 5th eagle of 2008

golf stories??....anyone?

Anyone have some recent doosies to share?

Back in graduate school, I hit a ground-burner on an 180 yard par 3 with an elevated green. My ball hit the side of the green, bounced up onto the green and rolled into the hole. It was the ugliest hole-in-one that my friends or me have ever seen.

Well lets see, Theres the time..well actually more than once where we had to abandon the cart on the course because it was no longer driveable...

And then theres the time my dad hit someones cart that was in front of us.

Oh yeah, And the time one of the guys that was playing with us killed one of the wild birds on the course and took it home and ate it. I should mention that he killed it with his putter and then stuffed it in his golf bag.

Ohh.... Those were the days

I was 15... batting balls in a huge park with a friend and saw an apple laying down in the grass. Proving that a 15 y.o's brain isn't developped yet, I hit that damn apple and it exploded in my face.

Hey Max!.... let's see how far this apple can go............................. FLOCK!

Hahaha. I think most boys have had some kind of "fruit vs object" incident at one time or another.

Agreed.... those are fun stories! That's what makes golf fun.

I have a funny story too. I was once teeing off on a hole next to a par 3 green. (we had just finished playing the hole and we were on the next tee box)

This guy tees off....hits it crooked into a tree...we hear him curse at the shot....then the ball bounces off the tree and into the cup for an ACE. We didn't see it go into the hole, but we were able to hear everything unfold and it was very funny. Their reaction to the ball going into the hole was priceless.
