For some reason I get a perverse joy from making par after hitting a tee shot OB (or losing it or whatever ends in stroke and distance). I'd love to make a birdie that way.
I almost had one yesterday on a short par 5. My fourth/second burned the edge, a hair left and it would have been birdie/double eagle. Tapped in for par.
I had one hang on the lip of a par 4 once, in a previous golfing life. The hole was a 240 yard sharp dogleg around some trees with a small pond in front of the green. The leaky slice I would hit when I tried to kill a 2-iron was the exact shape of the hole. I aced it once... but unfortunately not after double-crossing one OB.
Anyone else have a close call on this? I read about someone on tour doing it on a par 4... but that is about it.
