Many years ago we used to go down to Jekyll Island every summer. The first time I played golf down there, I hit a ball into the undergrowth and it didn't look too bad so I waded into the green plants ranging from 2-7 feet tall. A few feet in, I realized it was a huge mistake. I didn't know about saw palmetto and didn't realize how sharp all those leaves were. When I did make it out of there I was cut from head to toe. It looked like I had come in second in a knife fight. When I walked back into the motel room, my wife wanted to know what in the world happened to me and if all that blood was my blood. I left that ball and every ball since then that has found its way into the palmetto bushes.

I'll add another from my not so lucky round yesterday. Another pull hook off the tee with my old driver (R11 is being repaired). Waded through some bushes looking for my brand new ProV1. When I emerged, I was covered in about 400-500 clingers (I don't know what they are really called. Not thorns or burrs, but they stick to clothes or hair). Still had about 50 on me at the end of the round. This happened on hole 2. It also ruined my Nike coach's sideline shirt. I also hit a 1.5" diameter line pole about five feet in front of me that sent my ball 30 yards the wrong direction. It wasn't my best outing. haha

These stories are funny.

I hit a flagstick and ended up 20 feet off the green. That's bad luck I suppose.

If I didn't have people who could vouch for this I would never even tell this story. I was playing in a high school match at a course that has two side by side holes a short paragraph four down the hill and a three back up. I drove even just short of the green and with no one in front of us I took what I needed to finish the four and club to tee off coming back up the hill to the green and place my bag near the next hole. My tee shot went well right and hit my bag. When we went up to the area where my bag was my ball was no where to be found until I pulled out my wedge and along with it came my ball. The ball had gone in my bag... Needless to say I got a lesson on unplayable lies that day.

I was a passenger in a golf cart when the driver decided to stop paying attention and we flipped over into a ditch. I was even more pi$$ed when I noticed I had a tick on my arm from rolling around in the weeds.

Mad about a tick? That must be a Canada thing or something...

Hopefully you got a lesson in penalties for hitting your own equipment that day too, haha.

Hit what I thought was a perfect gap wedge to a short par 3 sure enough it bounced off the pin on the fly rolled off the green down the hill and into a lake... Or managing to get a drive stuck in a hole in a tree.. Although that one did make me laugh haha

I was with my mate at the driving range who doesn't play much golf..he got the highest tee and hit the tee with a open face lob wedge and I swear to god the ball went straight up the tee wobbled a bit and the ball landed back on it.. Not bad luck but I just thought it was incredible..

[bestbyV]

Ouch man... that was very honorable of you to step up and be honest though. I bet some wouldn't think twice about going ahead and playing on with the ball that wasn't theirs.

Never could have lived with myself if I wouldn't have said something and things turn out different.
