During golf tryouts my junior year of HS our home course had an 18th hole that was a 120 yard par 3 over water.
This kid hit his tee shot in the water and then went up to the water to drop and just do a 30 yard chip over the water. He then proceeds to chip the next 8 balls into the water and ends up taking an 18 on the hole.
(He was down to the last ball in his bag that he finally chipped over.)
The worst part is that his foursome was the last one of the day so everyone else who had already finished was waiting behing the 18th green watching this debacle.

Wanna make $14 the hard way?
Similar to IamBrutus' story:
We're playing a company outing, we were both college guys, and both hackers more interested in getting drunk than playing golf. We had a large cooler on the floor of the cart, holding at least a case of beer and ice. We teed off at 8:00 in the morning, so the course was still very wet with dew. On the second or third hole, we come over this ridge and there's a steady, tree-lined downhill fairway that runs 150-200 yards (still very much in the shade). My buddy decides it's a good run downhill until we hit top speed then hammer the brakes and crank off the wheel. We spun and fast. We both go flying out of the cart, the cooler goes flying and the cart goes spinning down the hill. We end up picking up all the beer, as much ice as possible and chase down the cart. We didn't say anything about it until afterward when the company president (playing 2 groups behind us) asked if anyone knew anything about all the ice scattered everywhere and the weird tire patterns in the fairway.

I was playing with my wife, her sister and her husband. I teed off and out-drove the slight dogleg and ended up in some trees. It was a par 5 and I was still 250ish from the green. It wasn't a dense wood, so I decide to hit a low 3 iron out. I crush it straight toward the green, as well as a 4" diameter tree. It hits perfectly square and comes right back at me. It flew past me no further than 2 feet to my right and ends up 40-50 yards behind where it started. I turn around and walk back to where it now lies, thinking "I'm gonna do the same thing. No way that shit happens again, right?" Wrong. I hit the sam f-ing tree and lost almost 100 yards on 2 straight shots.

We were in Flordia years ago for vacation. My Dad, Brother and I were waiting for the group in front of us to tee off. Well the guy in the group in front of us hits a bad shot kid of walks off in disgust kicking the ground. Well he hit a fire ant hill, which any of you that have never dealt with them they hurt like hell. So the fire ants climb up and start biting him. He starts screaming takes off running to the pond and jumps in, right next to the warning aligators sign. He got out and no gators got him but it was pretty damn funny watching a 40 year old man dance and scream like a little girl.

You'll have nothing and like it
At a company outing a few years ago, the course let a few of the girls from our office drive the beer carts around for our group of people. We had two carts w/ kegs in the back of them circulating around. After a few holes we see the beer cart coming down the cart path and we wave her down. We were putting out at the time, and turned around to finish putting. The next thing you know she is sitting there right next to us. She pulled the cart right onto the green and started pouring beers. No clue that she should not be there.

Woody Rules!
I almost stepped on an alligator in florida once. there was a path about 12 ft wide running between two ponds, with tall grass and reeds around the ponds. i am walking over on the left edge, and there is a violent movement beside my left foot. A six foot alligator had backed up into the pond - my foot couldn't have been more than a couple of feet from his nose. I was just glad he went backwards instead of forwards!
I think I was more scared, though, of the couple of times I have come face-to-face with a skunk on the golf course. I've been a few feet from rabid racoons and rabid foxes, but would rather deal with that than take the chance of getting sprayed by a skunk.
BTW, my dad just told me a story about these 2 white geese that came after him by the lake on his home course - he swung his driver at one of them and connected at the base of the goose's neck, and the thing dropped like a wet rag. he thought he had killed it, but it revived. anyway, some guy across the pond called the police and told them that someone was going berserk on the golf course and killing all the geese! he had to talk to sherrif's deputy that came out to the course. so for his birthday someone gave him a goose headcover.

took us 10 minutes to figure it out... guy from the next hole came over and apologized... but all of us said we never saw his ball come over... and there was a ball still sitting on the tee (not the tee box, the TEE)... had to send out a cart to find the ball my opponent hit... probably wouldn't believe it myself it I didn't see it !!! worse.. it was a tournament and we had no idea how to rule it !!! played another ball?? count it as a whiff? we were so baffled I just let him hit again...NightmaresDad said:No way. I don't believe this for a second.

After reading the goose story earlier I remembered this one. I was with my buddy playing the pathetic Gahanna Municipal golf course in high school. We were both on the golf team and were betting 5 bucks a hole. Anyways I smoke a drive right next to a pond on a par 4 after it hits a goose on the roll. The goose was obviously angry after it happened and started waddling and waddled the ball right into the pond! Granted the ball couldnt have been more than 4-5 inches away at the time but that damn goose cost me $20 cause we had a 3 hole carryover going into it!

I give up. This board is too hard to understand.
I'm sure this will be funny later but right now I'm still pissed about it. I went to the driving range today after work to hit a few. After hitting about 5 good drives to start off I figured I'd hit one more and then move to my irons. I swing the club and hit the ball... my driver snaps in half. I don't even know where the head of the club went. There was one other guy there and he didn't see anything. I spent 15 minuted looking for it and could not find it.

Last night my buddy broke up a family gathering by smoking drive onto their porch. He hit a straight pull about 260 and the next thing you hear is the ball hitting their house. I never laughed so hard in my life, when he walked up the guy was pretty cool about the situation.
My friend looked at him and said " I yelled 4, but I could'nt get your house out of the way fast enough"
