-Years ago I hit a really poor shot that with the help of few inanimate objects turned itself into a very "lucky" recovery shot. I had 170 to the green when I hit an absolutely first class slice. The ball was heading "OB", with someone's roof a likely landing area. I hit something on the roof which deflected the ball back towards the green. As the ball bounced off the roof, it hit top of a brick wall column, bounced off that, hit the fairway and landed on the first cut of the green. I chipped, and putted from there for a par. I say this was a lucky shot for obvious reasons.

As for a great recovery, I had a shot off of a concrete drainage ditch floor, that had about a 1/2" or so of water running in it. I holed out the shot for an eagle 3 on that par 5. I did not smell very good afterwards, but I did not care

I had the same shot a few years later that I got away with par, on the same hole. Again, both were some what lucky, but my swing still had a lot to do with both of them.
