  I witnessed one of the most bizzare shots to date.

  62 yards from pin, hole #1 at St Andrews with flag at front of green.  I hit ball, but misshit slightly, ball flew straight into burn, "damn, a lost Callaway", i was dreading, but instead of droping into the water, the ball hit the wall of the burn, just above water, and bounced out 1 yard away from where i originally hit it.

  This is best shot i've seen so far!!!

  Couple of those on my replays, it seems to have a mind of it's own that little stream.

  Not the best. In late June or early July I miss played the wind on #1 and it went straight into the burn on the right side of the fairway. It too hit the wall and and bounced out then started rolling hard toward the burn in front of the green and i thought shoot it's still going in the water. But the ball took a hard bounce left and bounced over the burn and ended up about 10 feet below the hole for an easy eagle putt. I had it in my replays at one time but I did some editing and may have lost it.
