The best shot I ever made was after I topped a drive on a par four and it went 20 feet. I was so mad I ran up to the the damn ball, held the club like a baseball bat and whacked the hell out of it.

It went over the trees and on to the green within 3 feet of the cup. Hell now I had a chance at a birdie. I putted 3 times like the fresh face novice that I really was. Oh well the second shot was well worth watcing.

If you're thinking of hiking with a cat ..I strongly don't recommend it Lofina..not unless you can climb trees fast..

The funniest shot I ever saw was when my first father-in-law made a Tee shot and it sailed down into a ravine in front of tee area. It hit a a rock down there out of sight and then came sailing right back to him. It landed about a foot from his tee.

I laughed my ass off.

yeah, shots like that can make the day worthwhile, even if you are not a golfer. as much as i have played, i have seen some crazy things. the first one to come to mind was when i was playing with a friend and his son years ago. the son hit a tee shot that hit a tee marker in front of us, and ricocheted about 50 yards behind us all in some heavy rough, an area not really in play, but, not out of bounds. the guy asked what the rule was. i told him the ball was in play, you're laying one (hey, we were gambling). he didn't like it, but i only had to beat one guy on the hole from that moment. yeah, he was pissed.

i had a situation where i hit an errant tee shot, and then hit two provisional balls. we were playing a team game, and, gambling, of course. as we reached where all three of my shots had gone (left), my buds saw A ball was in play, but, we didn't know which shot it was. i told them i would look for the other shots, so, go ahead and hit. well, i didn't find the the first two shots. so, i am laying five now. by this time, they are up at the green. i'm in the bush, and, laying five, i want to advance the ball as far as possible. i took a rather long swing, and the bushes got in the way, and i whiffed! laying six. ok. play it safe. punch out. the bushes got in my way again, and i hit it a foot. laying seven. next punchout works. laying eight. next shot on the green. as i get there, my partner asks what i'm laying. i say, "nine", and they all look at me like i'm a unicorn-at first. then, the other team is smiling.

they saw none of my foibles. when i explained later what happened, they laughed their asses off.

i'm a rules guy. i was a rules official for an amateur tour years ago. 

so, i'd like to present a scenario to you all. one that was presented to me in a rules class. if anyone gets this, i will be very impressed. but, you have to explain why. and, for the hell of it, let's use bunny in this example.

bunny, on the tee, completely misses the ball attempting a stroke. he goes back to his bag, puts the driver in, and pulls the 3 wood. he then takes his ball off the tee, removes the tee, drops his ball outside of the tee box, and hits it down the fairway. 

what is bunny laying?

"Sorry sir, I have to ask" I hate it when people call me Sir, it's like ignoring what I look like and faking being nice. A straight up "Sorry" was enough. 

i think you may have taken this the wrong way. the attendant may be required to ask if you state you are buying cigs for another. addressing you as sir is not condescending. it does not matter what you look like. would you have preferred, "dude, i have to ask"?

One for the air shot, a 2-stroke penalty for playing outside the tee box, so he'd be playing 4 and must play again from within the tee box.

@ 8533  Nice pick First, it sure looks like a young Spanky from The Little Rascals.

Hey Al ... this from my son in law:  " Good morning, my first thought would be that it's a trick question and is disqualified for not teeing it off between the T markers. If that's not an option I would guess he is laying three. One for missing the ball, one for dropping the ball, and one for striking it with his Threewood."

mr. first, neither is correct. and, it is only a trick question if it is not read correctly.
