Let's hear some of your whacky crazy times out on the course!!! i'll start off with a guy who we hit into by accident and he picked my ball up....teed it up and hit it back at us and gave us the cussing of a lifetime and then told us to have a good day and continued on!
this one may be a little gross, and i apologize in advance, but you asked for whacky times out on the golf course and this was the first thing that popped to mind.
i was playing in a small scramble at a local course....it was one of those tournaments where you know almost everyone in it, just a small fundraiser type deal......anyways, everyone was drinking quite a bit and not too worried about actually playing golf.......on the 10th hole my buddy made the putt and went to get his ball out of the cup and started laughing so hard we thought he went crazy.......so he finally gets around to pointing at the hole, and we walk up and look in it.......a good friend (a doctor by the way), who is absolutely crazy, was playing in the group in front of us had taken a #2 in the hole........needless to say, we left the ball in the hole, and my dr. friend still can't play that course
I was playing in a four man best ball tournament a few years ago. It poured the rain from the second tee on. Playing in front of us were friends of one of our playing partners. We got to the 16th a short par 3, where a hole in on would get you a new Mizuno Driver. The group in front finished the hole and proceeded to place an empty bud light box on top of the flag. My freind Matt steps up and hits a great shot that lands close and starts rolling to the hole..... about the time the ball was 6 inches or so from the hole, the box fell down the pole and stopped the ball just before it was to go into the hole.
I was playing a round with my friend John when we got to a par 3 where we had to wait on the tee. John knew one of the players in front and asked how his game was going. This guy responded with "I took a lesson the other day and the pro told me to take two weeks off - then quit!"
On another occasion, I was getting ready to hit my second shot to a green. There was a tree that was slightly blocking my shot so I was aiming to the right and planned to draw the ball around back to the green. Just as I'm ready to pull the trigger, he says, "Wait - hit the ball to the right and draw it around the tree" That's what I was going to do, but I didn't quite get it far enough to the right and knicked the tree and just missed the green. John walks over and says, "You took the green out or play and I'm not going to help you any more!"
love the stories.....i've seen people throw clubs in lakes.....and even get up in front of other people's faces
When I lived in Ohio I was playing with a guy that swears this is true. On No. 17 he got mad and threw his putter up into a huge tree and it never came down. About a week later, he found this putter in the clubhouse that felt pretty good. Only after he paid the $15 did he realize it was - yep - you guessed it - same one he threw in the tree.
These stories are hilarious. I remember reading a story about what can be found in water hazards by the 18th green. Golf balls? Yes. Golf Clubs? yes. Whole golf bags with a set of golf clubs in them? Yes.
This story is funny for me because I know my friends personality quite well and could see what was coming.
We had just graduated from college and all returned to Hawaii to where we grew up to live. Two friends of mine and I decided to golf and we made an early morning tee time. Waiting to hit on the first tee, my friend remarked, "this feels so good. We should play early in the morning at least once every weekend." I just told him, "why don't you wait until after the round before you make a statement like that?"
By the fourth hole, there were expletives flying everywhere and that was the end of that idea. I got a good laugh because I knew it would turn out like that when he made the original comment.
The very first time I went out with my friend to play about 20 years ago, I hit my first shot, the HUGE divot went flying, and I looked down, and the ball was still at my feet. I looked up and didn't see my friend anymore. I walked around to the other side of the cart, and he was lying on the ground laughing so hard he couldn't even speak!
My 3 friends and I were in a 4 man best ball tournement. One of my friends was having a bad day, but he takes it really well. We get up to the 11th tee and he goes to tee off and heels the shot. The ball hits the tee marker of the next set of tees. The tee marker is made of rock so the ball bounces way back and to the left leaving my friend farther than when he started. He hit the tee marker so hard it knocked off a big chunk of the rock. When he went to go hit his next shot, my other friend goes and picks up the rock without him seeing and sticks it in his pocket. When we finally reach the green everybody goes to mark there ball. My friend with the rock in his pocket, takes out this big rock and marks his ball with it. Nobody could stop laughing. My friend who had hit the shot couldn't stop laughing either even with an embarrasing look on his face.
