I've got all sorts of stupid, but for a family forum 2 stand out.

Playing a local course, a buddy came along and had to get some rental clubs. A few holes in, he's got to clear a pond on his second shot. Good looking swing, but the ball skitters off sideways. I'm sort of shocked, and then I hear a "sploop".
He's still holding his finish. Unfortunately, he's just holding the grip off the rental iron. Came completely out, flew into the air, and majestically settled to the bottom of the pond. Clubhouse just shrugged and said it happened quite a bit. Nice.

My story was in Sackville, NB years ago. First tee is blind over a small crest. I tee off, dead center. I come over the hill to find...chickens. Many, many chickens and a few cows. A farm next to the fairway had a gate open, and the critters made a break for it. Farm animals don't seem to grasp the ideas of a) giving a golfer some room to swing and b) quiet during the swing. I wound up just trotting over to alert the owners that the inmates had left the asylum and then played on.
