For me it would have to have been seeing a guys golf cart get away from him on a hill and dunk intself right into a small lake.



Whats yours?

so many to name:

just this past weekend, my regular foursome visits a course we don't go to very often. after a quick range session we head over to the 1st teebox where a weekend warrior has just teed up. he skipped the range session, and went straight to the tee.

he takes a swing and shanks it straight to the right off the toe. the ball hits a metal shed where the ball picker is, bounces right back toward us, hits our cart and bounces right back almost to where it originally came from.

he didn't have to move but to pick the ball up and put it back on the tee.

Just yesterday I saw a guy take a full swing with a driver on a par 4 and he hit it 5 yd's backwards. Not being sarcastic the ball actually went backwards. I still have no idea how that's even possible, lol

The weirdest one was when I was like 14, I was waiting on a teebox, sitting to the left side of the tee markers.  My buddy finally goes to hit, and he shanks it off the back of his driver, through his legs, and caught me in the nuts.  I don't know how that one is even possible.

I think my favourite one was me convincing one of my friends to try to play it out of a couple inches of water in the hazard.  He ended up not even getting the ball out of the hazard, then lost his balance and sorta fell back into the water.  End result was his entire upper body and face splattered in mud and one leg soaked up to the hip. 

Not to rain on the parade and all, but about 10-15 years back I remember at a local country club - a father and son were playing, father teeing off, son was about 5 feet ahead of the tee, father hit it right off the toe and into his sons temple, sadly he died before he got to the hospital - a real tragedy

That's not very funny.

agreed 100%,

soo too many stories,
something that happend to me when I was 13 I was hitting balls on the range, and the one guy beside me is trying to hit the picker, the pick drives up onto the hitting area, right in front of mine and say " if you aim one more ball at me, I'll drive this onto you", he then drove off, mad me lol so hard when he left, the other guy on the range was luaghing too.

I appologize for my story not being funny and I really hope you dont think I thought it was. I think I should have put in giant bold font - dont stand in front of or parallel to a person hitting - if for no one else than for those of you who cant read into a story

About 12 years ago I was playing at a fairly nice golf course in Edmond, OK. A friend and I made the turn. The back nine there has holes running in opposite directions with trees separating the holes. Well I tee off on this one hole and hit a sweeping hook into the trees. While looking for my ball I came fairly close to a tee box for a hole heading in the opposite direction. At this tee box there was a man and a woman that were apparently waiting due to slow play. The man was at the tee box and the woman had slowly backed off the tee box scanning from side to side to see if anyone could see her because evidently she had to pee. Little did she know, that all the while she was backing up to the very woods where I was standing. So being the gentleman that I am, I waited till she got in mid stream and yelled to my buddy " HEY RON, COME TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ! " You can't imagine the hilarious site of that woman trying to pee, run, and cover herself all at once. To top it off, the only help that her male companion could offer is to roll around on the tee box laughing at her.

Funniest thing i've seen, happened just last week. During a high school regional tournament where i am the super, a girl on a short par three hits her tee shot over the water. Walking around the water, she notices a small flock of geese next to her ball. As she gets closer, one goose gets startled and hisses at her. She tells her playing competitors to get her ball for her and she'll just take a 9(max score). The really funny or sad part was, she was in contention. If she had just made a seven instead, she would have probably gone on to place second and gone to the state tournament.

Another funny one was this weekend. 3 friends and I were playing in a charity scramble at a local golf course. We actually won the scramble and were awarded first place plaques. On the plaque it stated the name of the memorial tournament, the date and the golf course where it was held. The funny thing was that on the name of the golf course. The had spelled course. "COARSE". So when while receiving the plaque I commented that since the wind had been about 25MPH that day, that I guess you could classify the course as "Rough, Hard, or COARSE" that day.

playing in florida, orange lake in orlando, guy in his condo is trying to trap something, we are watching as it goes down, animal escapes his grasp, he chases it across the fairway right in front of us. he was about 90 years old, and chased an armadillo into the woods. funniest thing i ever saw in my life

We were teeing off on a par four and there were a few what looked to be Latino grounds crew people working off to the left. One of my foursome hit the ball towards them and he yelled out "QUATRO!!" - maybe you had to be there but it was hilarious.

Watching someone from the rough hit a sprinkler head and water shooting 30 feet in the air. Classic!!!!

While at one of our favorite courses my friend and I encourage our other friend who was walking to jump on the back of the cart and get a ride up the hill. Well, someone forcefully grabbed the steering wheel in the middle of a curve and my buddy on the back went flying like Superman. We laughed our asssss es off after we made sure he was okay. Funny thing is his ball and cover to his putter were 15 ft. back down the hill. No way he let go of his putter though. After impact he was still clutching that putter to his chest. When we started laughing and telling him we didnt realize he was gonna fly off. "He jumped up and said WTF did you think was gonna happen?"

Kinda mean, but my friend and I still laugh so hard we cant see straight over that one.

And seriously , you guys are killing me with these!!!!!

especially the one about the women peeing! LMAO

Last summer during a big tournament at the club I work at, a member whose intoxicated reputation precedes him had started his round early on the 19th hole. Midway through the round, something just wasn't setting right in his stomach and on what would be his final tee shot of the day he not only lost his balance, but also control of his bowels. There'd been no rain the night before, so the brown stuff on his khaki shorts and running down his leg couldn't have been blamed on any mud. Pretty disgusting actually, but he seemed to take the ribbings in stride, and the whole story has become a legend in its' own right.

I was 17 and just had joined my high school team mainly to learn how to play the game. I was probably the worst player on the team. The tee shot on the 17th hole on our home course is a 175 yard drive over a river. At the time my best drives were in the 175 yard range. The team was playing a practice round and my group gets to the 17th tee. The tee box can be seen from 4 other holes on the course. It had been raining earlier in the day. I step up and swing as hard as I can to hit the ball across the hazard. I slip on the wet tee box grass and fall right on my rear as the topped ball flies in the river. Laying there on the ground I turn around and over half of my teammates are laughing their a**es off.

We have all seen people get hit out on the course. But have you ever seen someone get hit with their own drive? About 20 yards out in front and to the left of the 18th tee box there is an small electric pole. It stands about 20 feet high and is only about 5" in diameter. My playing partner, which is about a 4 hdc, smashes hit drive right into the pole. The ball bounces straight back and hits him on the fly. He is ok and we let him have a mulligan because no one could hit that shot if they had tried.

At my home course, the 18th tee box is probably 100yards from the 17th green. The 17th is an island green of a par 5, and the 18th kinda doglegs right around the 17th green. Obviously the dogleg is not that close to make it dangerous to others palying the 17th, but a shank can land you on that green. Well, by playing partner, who shall remain nameless, was teeing off on the 18th with an iron. It just so happens that his elderly father-in-law was on the 17th green right behind us. Well, my buddy shanks the crap out of the ball, and it's heading right at his father-in-law, who is holding the flag. He yells "FORE!" with the resignation of impending disaster. How do you tell your wife that you killed her father on the golf course, and what horrible luck is that? Well, the ball hits the flag stick and flag, not a foot from his head, and bounces down into his shirtpocket. We didn't even laugh at first. It was just utter shock and thanks. But, that was the closest I've seen someone's life in the balance, and the results were hilarious, thank God!

The hole from the temporary winter green on the par 3 17th hole at my course is still there and my buddy who came up 15 yards short of the actual green with his tee shot aced the temporary hole on the fly. We initially thought it may have plugged but was sitting in the hole when we got to it. I'll never let him forget that one.

A mate had a copy of Paul Shane singing You've Lost That Loving Feeling on Pebble Mill on his mobile 'phone once. I could hardly tee off after watching it, I was laughing so much. For the rest of the round, the opening bars of 'You never close your eyes...' crooned out in a Paul Shane-esque style as someone was about to play was enough to put them off their stroke for at least two or three minutes. Even when they stopped laughing, it was sure thing that the shot would be a dud.

Only British WRXers are likely to see the humour in this, unfortunately.

Last year when I first started playing I had hit a ball past the green and was in some rough w/ some trees around/above me. I hit my pitch shot and I hear that all too familiar *thack* sound of the ball hitting a tree, so I duck so it will miss me. Please believe that it hit me right in the dome! We all laughed all day about that one. And to think if I wouldn't have ducked it would've caught me right in the crotch!

Guy on 1st tee swung out of his shoes, missed the ball, spun 540 degrees, then busted his butt. I didn't laugh at the time, but once they were down the fairway I couldnt stop.

Last year I was playing with a buddy at a local muni, it had rained the day before so there was standing water all through the course. We get to hole 16 and my approach shots rolls of the back right side of the green down a little hill into some light standing water. And he tells me you know you can take relief from that just no closer to the hole. I tell him no I'll play it since it's only about 6 feet, my exact words were "I got this". Well I go to play a light flop and catch it all wrong, I skip under the ball picking up a glob of mud and the ball just sticks to the face and as I follow through it runs right down my arm and finishs behind me. My buddy is rolling because he seen it all, I didn't see much of the shot because of the splash of mud and water. All I seen was the ball rolling down my arm.

First post...

Anyway, last year i took my dad out to play at one of my favorite golf courses for his birthday. I guess you could call him a weekend warrior, even though he uses his 3 wood for every shot except putting. So im not even sure you could classify him as a weekend warrior.

We get to the ninth hole and he slices his drive into the woods. We find his ball and i tell him to take a drop outside of the woods because its too dangerous to try and hit out of the spot he was in. He refuses, takes his swing and hits a tree about 5 yards in front of him. The ball comes back at him, and hits him square between the eyes just above his nose. He stands there for a few seconds... and just drops like a log. Laughing my a** off i run over to make sure hes okay, he's in a daze but ok... and has a faint imprint of a golf ball on his forhead.

Also on the back nine he sliced his drive into a semi dry river bed. Walked out to retrive his ball (ignoring my warning) and sunk about thigh deep into the mud. And proceded to be stuck there for about 15 min, and was crying like a baby for me to come help him... to which i refused. He finally got out but he was missing one shoe. He finished the back nine in his socks.

Ok, that story reminded me of a great story from years back.

Our old course had the the first hole going out and the second coming back parallel to it. The second green was about 175 yards ahead of and to the right from the first tee. Needless to say, a few balls were hit that way off the first tee. We are on the second green and the caddies out in the first fairway start screaming fore. My father and I both turn, duck and cover out heads. We hear a loud knock and stand straight up again. As we are doing it, my father says boy I'm glad that hit the tree. We turn to see one of our playing partners grabbing his head and walking around with that pissed off and hurt walk. We had mistaken his forehead for a tree limb - and let me tell you - THAT WAS A LOUD KNOCK. After he said he was ok, we died laughing and still laugh about it years later

OK so a couple of months ago me and 3 others go to harbor town to play. Where the first tee box is, 90 degrees to the right is the number 9th green. So our fore caddie is out if the fairway, and the starter is standing beside us watching us tee off. I stand up on the tee box ready to smash one, BUT I end up hitting a pop fly staight up and to the right to the 9th green about 1 foot from the hole. Man everybody was dying laughing. I watched the foursome come up to the 9th green scrathing their head about which one of them hit that amazing shot to the green. haha

I've seen that too! I don't know how it happened, but the ball went backwards... negative yardage!

Last summer a gruop of us head out and try to play in a "light rain" that turned out to be a torrential downpour. We call it quits on #3 and then marshall tells us that we can start over once the rain passes. After lunch, we step up to the tee box on #1 with a hoard of people standing around and waiting for their time. Three of us hit decent drives into the fairway. My buddy steps up with his "favourite club" and takes a might swing at the ball. The ball soared into the right rough, but his club however, took a left out of his hands and landed about 30 feet out into the pond that was just ahead of the teeing ground. Insult to injury: the grip was fully visible, pointing straight into the air, waving good-bye to him.
You could imagine the noise the "gallery" made.

My uncle, 2 of his friends and I were playing Kemper Lakes outside of Chicago several years ago. We get to #16, a longish par 4 with water down the right side. My uncle hits his tee shot left and has about 210 yards to the pin. He hits a VERY poor 5 wood shot and immediately throws the club upward. It gets stuck in the tree about 20 feet off the ground. So what does he do? He throws another club up there to try and dislodge the 5 wood. The other club gets stuck too! Now he has 2 clubs in the tree.

One of the guys in our group ends up climbing the tree to get the clubs. It was freaking hilarious!

At the same course, same group of guys, different day. We get as far away from the clubhouse as you can get and there's not a restroom in the immediate area. My uncle has a sudden urge to drop a deuce. He heads to the woods and takes care of business, but has no tissue. So he ends up using his socks. To this day he carries a roll of TP in his staff bag because you just never know when you might need it.

Poopy pants.... Now that made me laugh outloud. Many years ago my buddy, who had a massive OTT move hit the ball dead left off the tee, hit the 5 foot tall granite tee marker, ball flew backwards towards a par 3 green way behinds us and bonked a guy. It was funny watching him walk slowly to the green with his head hung low to apologize and retrieve his ball....

1. At my friend's wedding at the golf course. Everyone is nice and drunk around 11pm. There is a range with 10-foot wide creek running right past the tee area. There's some lights on and we decided to get our drivers out and have driving contest. I worked at the golf course at the time so I had garbage bag full of balls. We start taking some drives and the whole wedding comes out, I mean everyone. They are either on the deck or on the grass watching and cheering. Some even decided to join. We start the competition and the first guy, takes his shoes off and tee's up. Being a complete drunk he is, he misses the ball, lands on his butt and he is not holding the driver. Driver is up in the air spinning and falls right into the creek. With everyone laughing, he takes his cloth off, nothing but boxers, gets in to the creek trying to get it. Well, creek was a quagmire. He gets stuck and can't get. We were all just laughing on the ground not helping him for about 30 min.

2. I saw a guy on different hole throwing his whole set into the lake and walking off the course.

3. Guy falling into the lake.

4. My golf game two days ago.

Which hole was it so that I know I wont look for the ball.
I don't want to pay Kemper's price and step on human feces.

I don't think you had to be there...that is freaking hilarious.

Alright, I've got many, but I'm gonna say that my FIRST funny golf memory was when my grandfather was trying to teach me the game. He taught me about integrity in scoring, counting every stroke, playing by the rules, courtesy for other players and not losing your temper. Anyway, we reach a long par 4 and he has to hit a wood off of the fairway for his second shot. Bare in mind that my grandfather is a very reserved, very laid back guy, and this was only the 2nd or 3rd time I've played golf with him (or, ever, for that matter).

So, his ball was sitting on kind of an awkward lie....a downslope toward the green (ground higher behind the ball than in front of it). So, he sets up and swings and his wood hits the ground a solid foot and a half behind the ball and bounces right over the top of it. I'm sitting there in the cart thinking "man, that's funny". So, obviously annoyed by the swing, he sets up to hit it again. Once again, foot and a half behind the ball, bounces right over the top of it, not even close enough to move the ball. This time, I can't help but let a little chuckle out and he gives me this mean look like "I told you to be courteous to other golfers". He sets up again, and has the same outcome. He than yells "God *%&* it!!", throws his club and kicks the ball. I fall out of the cart b/c I'm laughing so hard. I'm literally crying....he's standing there staring at me like he's going to kill me. After looking at me rolling on the ground, crying becuase I'm laughing so hard, he starts laughing, too. I'm laying there laughing and he's standing there laughing, sans ball and club, and I can only imagine what the group behind us was thinking. Not only is that one of my funniest golfing memories, but, in hindset, it's also probably my favorite.

That is hilarious! don't try to tell me where to hit it!

I love it!!! Wish I had memories of my grandfather. Your so lucky!

So my drive left me an approach with a golf ball "hanging" in super deep rough on the side of a bunker, with 50 yards to the pin. I had to stand in said bunker to play the shot. Said bunker was deep. Have to make a chest high swing. 64 degree wedge seemed like the play at the time. I guess the swing was not executed well as the ball somehow ricocheted off the "side" rough and hits me in the forehead and blows my hat off. I stumble backwards and fall on my a** in the bunker. "Luckily," two of my friends saw it start to finish, so I still hear it from them to this day.

True story. Played a course last summer. Walked on as a single and was paired up with a local golf pro. Playing our round when the beer girl approached (she was stunning, final year in college). Bought a couple cold ones and had a quick chat with the server. She then leaves. My playing partner turns to me and says, "I think she's interested in you". I replied "she's flirting for tips....nothing new".
2 holes later, she shows up again, I'm still working on the first beer and waiting for the group in front of me to clear out so that I can tee-off. We engage in a little chit chat. For the next 10 holes she kept coming over and talking.
Finallly on 14, my playing partner gets a call and has to leave. I decide to call it a day and have a smoke on the bench by the tee box. Guess who shows up! She parks the beer cart and we end up talking for about 1 hour. In the meantime she has stopped selling booze and kept telling passers-bye that she's no longer selling beverages, to the ire of many.
I told her that she should probably sell some beer, she disagreed and told me not to worry about it.

Well hopefully the "green" was nicely kept!

I'm guessing you are one of the writer from Axe commercials.
Boom chicka wah wah~~

and........ what happened after that?!?!?

He decided to play another hole after all

A guy stepped into a seemingly dry creek, onto a hump of grass that looked like ground, his whole leg sinks into mud past his mid thigh- we pull him out by the iron he was holding, but his shoe was stuck at the bottom of the mud at least 3 feet down. We all fall down laughing, the ranger comes by since we held up play, and he started laughing. He never got his shoe back.

Played once with this one guy who takes himself really seriously. Addresses the ball after demanding total silence and everyone had to stand facing his chest on the tee box- completely misses the ball!! Steps away, regroups and addresses the ball again (which took about 5 minutes), swings and misses the ball again!!!! Then he walks straight back to the cart as he says "I'm gonna switch clubs." I pulled a muscle I was laughing so hard.

well it was raining hard 2 hrs before and course was closed... bad sign... well we were hitting balls off the tee and my friend took a huge swing and nearly missed the ball. TOTAL HOZZEL ROCKET. then he walks back ashamed and gently taps his driver on the ground and it snaps in two peices. LOL then he used my friends brand new r7 driver. (he didnt have rain gloves on at this point). and took another huge swing.... but this time the driver flew out of his hands about 20 feet in the air and lands in a huge lake. so it starts floating over to us. but my friend insists on getting in. we eventually got it back though. ahahahahah

Yeah, great story, but terrible ending.

after that........she asked me if I wanted to go out with her and her friend that evening. As I am not interested in getting divorced and paying allimony I let her know of my marital situation and respectfully declined. I ended up at the same course 2 weeks later with my single buddies, trying to make some introductions (that's what friends do right) but she shot them down. That same day I was buying beer from the 2nd beer girl on the course (another stunner) and she turned to me and said.."hey!you're the guy that didn't want to go out with us!". I've played the course a couple of times since then last Autumn and we still share a few words.

There have been so many funny incidents but one that sticks out happened in West Virginia. My foursome was making the turn and we stopped at the halfway house which we actually called it the outhouse because there was no air conditioning and refrigeration was by ice chest. One guy who I will call Brian orders a tuna and cheese sandwich while the other 3 of us order hotdogs. We were all standing by the register and I was about to pay and the guy says "I'll only charge you for the hotdogs because the tuna sandwich is 3 days old". Brian had already downed half the sandwich and just had taken another bite. His eyes immediately got as big as saucers and spit it out. The three of us almost pissed our pants from laughing so hard. It could only happen in West Virginia.

When I was in high school, I watched a kid from the team we were playing hit his tee shot off the 8th hole at my home course and strike the tee sign with his shot. The ball went about 30 yards behind us. The hole is about 320 yards from where we played back then, so not terribly long. He then hit a 5-wood from the rough behind the tee box down the fairway. He had a shot of about 150 yards left, which he promptly holed out for a birdie. I made par the conventional way. Crazy, crazy game we play!

Didn't personally see this, but heard from my friend. Some guy in Poland got so mad on the course that he threw his whole bag in a pond, started to walk away, came back and got the bag out of the pond, took his cellphone out of the bag, and threw the bag back in. I wish i was there to see this go down


adam

Just curious, where at in WV. Thats were I'm from and i would love to know. Who orders a tuna sandwich anyways? LOL

She said "us" as in plural! I hate you! lol

Of course I`m going thru a divorce for whats it worth. LOL
