Weirdest shot I ever saw was when I played golf in college, we were in a home match vs. MIT and one of their golfers hit a shot 10 yards short of the green, it bounces a good 40-50 ft up in the air and lands on the green and proceeds to go in the hole. Turns out he hit a memorial plaque in the fairway and it just took a lucky bounce.

Another match we had, the course had a power line that was 30-40 yards out crossing the fairway. Local rules state that it is a free re-tee if you hit it. My teammate hits it flush with his first tee shot, retees, hits it again with his second tee shot , and then re-tee and hits it off a telephone pole O.B. (he smother hooked it and looked genuinely defeated for drive #4). Next guy comes to the tee and he hits it with his first shot!. In my 3 years of college prior to that, I never saw anyone hit it, then in one round, I see it happen 3 times! It was pretty funny to watch.
