  Would like to see golf shots taken that have unforseen bad or good bounces.

  I had one yesterday at STA; 2nd shot at the pin. Hit the pin/hole square and shot off 40 yds left/ high off the green.

  You have to go to my replays to view. Sorry I don't know how to copy and post with this.

  I had a slam dunk birdie hole in one on BP #17 (that is the par 3 right? Not enough coffee yet!) I mean straight in and stayed there........I saved it on my profile. Still have to look at it from time to time.

  Check out my first hole in one saved in my profile. Almost a exact duplicate.

  Since September 1st (the "upgrade") the weirdest, most unusual shot I've taken was a dinged tee shot into a dead on headwind that went perfectly straight and ended up exactly where I thought it would!

  I was so shocked and amazed that it never even occurred to me to save the replay.

  This happened back in July. I hit an awful shot miss played the wind and the ball went into the creek next to the fairway at #1 at St. Andrews. Just watch the replay. Chose camera # 3 for the best idea of what happened.Highlight the link and right click it and chose the second option. Not sure why the link wasn't clickable.

  That is unbelievable...Im not sure how you can top that.  The triple ricochet and then the awesome kick left onto the green below the hole, is just ridiculous.

  Great replay...

  I got a Hole in one the other day while playing in a guild match so there's no replay. The weird thing is after hitting the ball, i got up to answer the phone, so i missed it ... and i missed the replay too. It was only when i heard  that " BAM..AWARD" i went back to the computer. I  missed the "BAM AWARD" as well and only realised i had made an hole in one when i saw the messages were going crazy on the chat box...very unusual indeed.

  Ok, a few good ones here.

  Drives

  Over the green on STA #1 from back tees

  Crazy bounce on Kia #2 hits stairs in sand trap leads to eagle

  Approach

  Slam Dunk Eagle on STA #2 to back pin

  The Slam Dunk that Wasn't.  Kia #17 you can hear the cup rattle and ball disappear then a freakin monkey throws it out.

  Putts

  Who says you can't putt from deep in the fringe?

  Draino from 53 feet from top shelf on BPB #15

  That same monkey gets around--hit the pin, rattle the cup and a pissed off monkey says get outta here.

  I'll save you the trouble of a replay here and just give you the end. Who hasn't seen this yet? Like the friggin hole wasn't there and the pin was an optical illusion.  :-(
