After playing 55+ years of golf, I have had, I believe, more than my share of aces. During one round of golf I was playing with novice golfer, who was playing only his second round of golf. The first hole at this course is a 180 yard par three. I was lucky, (as all aces are) and scored an ace. On the next hole which was a par four, I hit my tee shot into the fairway in good shape. My playing partener then asked me why I did not go for the hole. He actually thought that aces were the norm, and not the exception.

As for strange, but true shots, I myself have hit, and seen many more shots bounce off something, and turn out to be something fantastic. While in Florida there is this golf course near a farm. I saw a guy hit a cow dead square in it's forehead, and the ball bounced back on to the fairway. After laughing about that shot, he hits his second shot into the green which was a slam dunk for an eagle. The irony was he did not break 100 for that round. GJS
