Since we're sharing.

Short 140 yard par 3 off an elevated tee box. Nothing tricky about the shot, sand short left and right, green slopes towards the tee box. You just don't want to be long the rough is way long behind the green. To the right of the green is the tee box for the next hole separated by the cart path.
So my buddy skulls his 9i and pushes it way right, it's skidding down the cart path, skidding and skidding, hits the stone marker for the next tee box, shoots way up into the air and back to the left. Like 20 yards back to the left directly to the left, right back onto the green of our hole sitting perfect for a short birdie.

There's nothing logical about the way the ball bounced off that marker. He it a smooth stone object with forward momentum and yet it bounced off at a right angle. And of course right on the green of our hole!

Still the luckiest bounce I've ever seen.

And I've seen plenty of balls skid over the water back onto land. But never off a duck! Good shot.
