Funniest golf story ..

Fill me up with your funniest golf stories ...

My golf story : 

First time EVER playing in Florida.. 

We are taking it easy because to be fully honest , I suck at golfing ..

So of course I am losing a lot of balls and I am a show off so I am using ProV.

I am looking for my balls in the wood when I come face to face with a freaking Alligator ..

In my imagination ( maybe too much Walt Disney movies and not enough discovery chanel ) Alligators are like turtles. They are slow.

Imagine my surprise when this mini dinosaur started running.. 

I never screamed so loud in my life.

I was running in my friends direction and they were dying laughing ... 

He was running in the opposite direction because I traumatized the poor thing..

Let me tell you that I didn't care for my balls anymore...

The wood could keep them all ..

I was golfing at Spyglass Hill GC, part of Pebble Beach.   I had hit a great drive on a long par 4, not my normal shot, landing just short of a pond protecting the right half of the green where of course the pin was located.  I could easily have played a safe shot to the left side of the green and had a long putt for birdie or take the riskier shot of carrying over the water for a chance at a short putt.  Of course I had to go for it, no guts no glory.  I then proceeded to have a Tin Cup moment dropping half a dozen balls into the pond.

No, I somehow kept my composure, no clubs in the lake.  Finally got the ball over the water, only a 100 yard shot but that damned pond got in my head.  Normally I don't care about traps or water but the water hazard won that day.  😉
