What is your funniest/craziest/most bizarre golf story?

Question

Anyone who plays golf enough is going to see some wacky things. I once played with a cross dressing man who actually played from the ladies tee, but went to the men's bathroom at the turn... haha.

Answer 1

I suppose mine would just be playing in the Arctic Open. It is a golf tournament that is held on a frozen lake. It is the only one I have ever heard of. Its too bad though that the course only has 6 holes.

Answer 2

I had just hit my shot into the 9th green when in my follow through I noticed something in the corner of my eye I remember taking a step back. The next thing I remember is the pain and then throwing up I had just been hit by a drive in the groin. I tried getting up and no way no chance the pain was terrible. the people who hit me according to friends in the group never said sorry or anything went and just played there ball. An Ambulance was called and taken to the emergency spent a day there, have had some complications with the groin area. A friend stayed behind to get the guy's info turns out they were touring California from Korea so I guess you could say I was up S&^%# creek without a paddle thank god I had insurance, happened 9 years ago

Answer 3

I was golfing at a local municipal course with some friends, and while I was waiting on the 4th tee, I saw (and I am not making this up) a man dressed in camouflage and wearing face paint HIDING IN A TREE between the 3rd green and 4th tee, looking through a pair of binoculars. We had no idea what a guy dressed like a commando was doing in the middle of a golf course, so we got out of that area as quickly as we could.

Answer 4

While playing an Executive course with some co-workers after a night of HEAVY drinking (until about 4am), we had a 8am tee time. We were all having fun and on the 4th tee box, i was up and there was a water hazard on the right side. To get over the pond and to the green was about 160 yards.

I step up to swing my 8 iron. Im in my back swing and my buddy just rips a fat fart so loud we all started laughing. I didnt even make it to the lady tees.

So, im about 4 yards from where i teed off and im again, in my back swing and he ripped another rotten egg! This time my ball lands in the middle of the lady tee.

Now, we all finished laughing and have had a chance to calm down and the guy who farted said he would give me $20 if i hit a hole in one from the ladies tee. Another guy said he would match the $20. Im asked "and if i miss?" "then you pay us"

"Yeah right!!" we were still a ways away. oh well. "Alright, youre on."

Believe it or not, i made it. Two bounces and about a foot roll and it hits the bottom of the cup.

Answer 5

I was playing at a local country club with my stepfather and he was not having a very good day. We got to the 12th tee and he hit his tee shot on the par 3 into the bushes on the right which was lining a creek. He hit his provisional ball really badly and hit a tree 50 yards in front of him on the left. Fortunately for him it hit a tree root and landed 3 feet from the hole. He did not believe me that was his ball until he walked up and looked at it. It was the funniest thing that I have ever seen on the course and probably will be for years to come.

Answer 6

wow, i have been playing for more than ten years, i have a lot of crazy stories.

anyway, this is my favorite, my friend and I are just 2 some, playing big bucks, match play format. It was 290 dog leg hole, a big wall protecting the green on the right side and a few tall trees. I was 1 up going to that hole, but he have honors on that hole since he got a point from the previous hole. He hit his tee shot 275 straight down the fairway, almost reaching the green but he had to play a delicate flop shot to get close. I opted to be scientific about it, hit 170 and was left about 105 to the pin but i pushed it a bit leaving me on the right side of the fairway.

As I got near my ball, options where few, I had to hit over the wall about 20 ft high and have to avoid a tree which is 10 yards in front of me. No sweat I said to my friend, if Phil Mickelson can do this, so can I. from a 105, I chose my SW for the shot so I can clear the wall easily, opening up the face a little bit for that extra confidence. I did a few practice swings and set up aiming at the right side of the tree .

I set up ready to hit, On my back swing, i felt a bit uncomfortable but proceeded to hit, and voila! I skulled the damn ball sending it careening towards the tree at maybe 100mph and bouncing back directly to me, my impulse sent me leaning back like Keanu in the Matrix. Missing my face by a few inches, i could even feel the air when the ball passed my face.

I got up from the ground, with soiled shirt as the rain just passed. Who won the hole you ask/? neither. We tied at bogey. My jackass friend couldn;'t stop laughing he chunked his second shot, went 3 on and 2 putted.

Answer 7

One day while on the chipping green practicing I had bought a drink and left it off to the side by my golf bag, after hitting a bad chip i walked across the green picked up my ball and gave it a Michael Jordan-esqe turn around jump fade shot at my drink which was about 30 feet away, the ball landed in my cup and it flipped in the air spilling all of its contents except the ball and landed back upright.

Answer 8

My high school golf team was playing at the regional playoff tournament. One of our players wasn't hitting his driver well, but this course is over 7,000 yards, so you pretty much have to use a driver. So he is goofing around on the range that morning and hitting his driver off the ground, and he's hitting it straight. So the entire day, he hits his driver off the ground, 270, straight, doesn't miss a fairway. Then he got to the last par 5, and he hits the ball normally over 300, so he teed it up to go for it in two. Well, he missed that fairway, the only one he missed all day.

Answer 9

It was a guys golf weekend in north Texas in the summer. The rough was tall, but dry and the golf carts were gas powered. Well, searching for a ball in the rough, one of our carts set the grass on fire. Only burned a small patch though and nobody was hurt. Lost all the ice in the coolers putting the fire out however.

Answer 10
