No MAN! How low can you go? A relatively good game can have its lowest moment - like a straightforward 380-meter par 4 second: 9 easy steps to insanity in one hole:

1. Hook tee shot badly – way over electric fence into bushes on private farm bordering the course to the left. “Dang! Bye-bye Pinnacle 2.”
2. Reload with Pinnacle 'gold' 3. Slice ball off the tee badly - onto farthest verge of ‘oncoming’ fairway to the right – almost into thick bushes again. “Whew!”
3. Duff recovery attempt and land back (at least back on own hole) but in thick rough at least 20 feet from fairway verge. “£$%^!”
4. Slam recovery shot 2 straight into a wooden distance marker. Ball ricochets 45 degrees backwards and lands about 50 meters behind me on the opposite side of the fairway and back into thick rough (i.e. on the same side as the electric fence).
5. Recovery shot 3. Slice & duff to almost where I just was with the previous shot . But approaching the lie there’s one ball just in the rough and one ball just on the (opposite) fairway – about 3 meters apart. Oncoming player & I happen to rendezvous at ‘the junction’. Can’t believe it – he’s also playing with a Pinnacle ‘gold’ 3! We’re not sure whose ball is who’s! I opt for the ball in the rough.
6. Recovery shot 4. Smack it with a six iron – stops about a meter from the bunker next to the green. “Njaaaa! – that was close!”
7. Blunder chip-shot to green – ball rolls for all eternity.
8. Left with a 10-meter putt to the pin. Don’t wait for fellow player (dad) – aim for ‘the bucket’ but sink the putt. “YES!!!!”
9. Dad rocks up. “Hey! That’s a 2-shot penalty for putting & sinking the ball on the green with the flag standing!” “Njaaaa!!!” I didn’t know that!

Now that's what I'd call a hexa-bogey! And the wife wants to know why I can be miserable when I get home?

Im sure ive scored an 11 before, but your way was a lot more exciting to read.

If I told you, you'd send in a donation for lessons!

I made an 11 in a tournament on a par 4 hole...two balls over the fence OB right; one ball in the water; the coup de grace was hitting a wrong ball near the green! 7 over on one hole...and I think I shot 84 for the round! At least the wrong ball I hit was the same brand as mine.

I played in a tournament with someone once who had an 18 on the 18th hole...it was a bit scary...mostly because it's tough to gauge the mental state of someone who's just gone through that kinda trauma.

I had a 12 on the final 9th hole of the first men's league weekly tournament of the 2005 season.

Here is my card:

You can read what each shot was on that hole. Water, sand, and a tree came into play on that one hehe.

Here is the first round of the men's league this year...I had half as many strokes on that last hole and yes, the same water was involved.

I've had an 11 on a hole a couple of times over that past few years. No great stories, unfortunately my mind tends to go blank when I'm already sitting on a triple and still haven't reached the green
.

My Men's Association club championship is a two day tournament, stroke play, and I had member that one year started on maybe #14 (shotgun start) both days, and got to our 6th hole, the #1 hdcp hole either even or 1 over both days and ended up with 10 and 11.

Lightning striking twice in the same spot! Poor guy took some ribbing.
