| Re: The goofiest shot you ever seen This one was quite a problem for all the memebers, but nontheless as the rules of golf go, the way it should be.
* 4 ball match member-guest (I'm the guest)
* Last day of a 3 day event and the top teams of that flight duke it out.
* 16th hole. We are down by 2, but on our way back from 5 down...thinking this is in the bag...the other guys are falling apart...litterly as you will see.
* I pop one out 200 with a 4i (hard dog to the left, can't hit driver on this hole)
* Partner 180, fine shot.
* Now the opponants. Nervous does not describe them now. Seeing a 5 hole lead slowly drifting away.
* First guy, sliced...wrong way to go on this hole...basically out of it.
* Second guy with every ounce he has, misses the ball completly...well almost completly. He nicks the outside of the ball just enough that the ball goes in a perfect 90 degree angle "BETWEEN HIS LEGS!" and hits our cart!
* Now, I know the rules. They apparently didn't. After the howeling subsides, he attempts to play the ball from where it rested next to the cart. I said, what are you doing? You guys just won! Rule 19-2. That cart was part of our equipment. After several minutes of explaining the rule, we ended up 3 down with 2 to play and they bought is drinks for the rest of the night...(free drinks from the tournament), but still, loved that shot. Never seen one like it since.
