The luckiest I remember was when i was in a tournament.

I was a couple down coming into the 16th hole. The 16th was a long par 4 about 455 uphill for the first 285yards. So anyways i hit my tee shot and it looks good flying down the right side, the the lovley tail starts to happen and the ball starts to fade into the woods, as i sit there focused on where my ball is going to land it feels like it is in slow motion, the ball landed on a rock in the woods and shot forward and left into the fairway. With that rock hit it shot the ball forward a good 50 yards, which put me about 95 yards out from the pin dead center in the middle of the fiarway with a straight shot in to a well gaurded green. I ended sticking the shot within 5 feet of the pin and tapped in for birdie. That bounce caused a playoff @ the last hole with the leader, which i ended up losing by a lipout putt. I finsihed second whcih is much much better than i would of done if the ball would of been lost in the woods, i would of been tied for 4th if it were not for that lucky bounce. 8)

So far has been:

Par 5, was 190-200 from the hole which has water infront, around to the right and behind the hole, landing area is to the left of the green....

So I pull out a 3 wood and wanted to hang it around a tree, to get to the landing area, so I just rip it, the wind takes it to the right once it goes above the trees....I was thinking it was 100% in the water. From that spot I couldn't see the hole, or the green for that matter. I get up there and it's sitting on top of a small hill thats right in front of the green, 30 feet from the hole chip to 8-10 feet, and two put so I ended up with a par. Just my luck!

I was in districts and i knew that i needed at least about a 78 to qualify for the second round. Well i shot a 43 on the front 9. On the back i made some timely birdies and was 8 over coming in to the last hole, on my way to shooting 80. So the last hole is about 270-280 yard par 4 from an elevated tee. Seems easy but there are pot bunkers everywhere and thick woods on the right, the pin is in probably the ****tiest spot i've ever seen and the wind is in my face. But i need as low of a score as i can get so i bust out the driver instead of playing a safe 5 iron or something like 2 of the 3 others in my group did. Pussies. Anyways, so my drive isn't too bad. I'm just left of the green with about a 40 foot chip to the pin. But i've got a ****ty ass downhill lie and semi-thick rough. I ****ed up a little on the chip -- slightly bladed it. But it somehow hit the pin and went in anyways for my eagle and 78. Then I ****ed up the next day by shooting 43 again on the front and 37 on the back. **** **** **** I suck I suck I suck.

hmm..easy one:

I'm playing in Palm Springs a few years back at this place called Hidden Meadows..Valley..something like that..it's one of those private clubs that my buddy managed to win tee times for through Ebay..lol Anyway, we stroll up and they have this profound starter, gentleman in his late 60's. He starts giving us the course breakdown and who designed this course, I think it was some guy named Arthur Bell..he designed BigHorn GC.

Anyway I hit a horrible drive then follow that up with an equally horrible approach that leaves me with an easy 160 yarder up and down..yes I said 160 yarder..anyway I hit my 7 iron..and come up about 10 yards short..shocker..I then pull out my SW and skull the crap out of it..honestly, and I can vividly remember it, it's like a tomahawk cruise missile now skimming about 2 inches off the grass heading to its target yards past it's intended hole..the ball nails the flagstick and makes a horrific CLANG.. and slams right down into the hole for a par..everyone was screaming and hollering..unbelievable.

one hole, 15 skins. 17th hole, 383 yard par 4. hit my drive. went pretty straight, maybe a slight draw. its a blind tee shot, so i didnt see where it ended up. walked up to about the 250 yard area, couldnt find my ball anywhere. kept looking around. no where to be seen. i did see a giant rock (boulder maybe) in the rough about 270 yards in.. played a provisional. went up to the green and found my original ball, 5 yards from the green. my avg drive is 250, if that. so for my ball to end up in the 375 range was very very strange. im figuring it took a nice long hop off that rock, and then a squirrel carried it the rest of the way. but im not complaining. 375 yard drive and 15 skins.
