Watching the WM Open yesterday during the play-off, when Rickie hit that ball in the bunker and it bounced out, all I could think was how lucky that was. ( of course then he hit the driver which hit the downslope, and caused the ball to go all the way through the green and into the drink! )
Brings to mind the question - what is the luckiest shot you have hit - or seen?
Luckiest shot I ever hit was on the par 3 #7 at Pilgrims Oak - hit the ball in a pond surrounded by big rocks. Ball disappears for a couple seconds, next thing I know it is on the green, tracking slowly to the hole. It actually hits the hole and lips out - the guys I was playing with just laughed - I would have been embarrassed to have that be my first hole in one (uh, actually, no I wouldn't! )
Luckiest one I witnessed was playing Hollow creek, hole # 13. My friend pull hooks his drive into a creek that runs up the left side. He literally knew it as soon as he hit it, and starts pulling out another ball. Next thing we know, the ball hits a rock in the middle of the creek, ricochets forward at least 25 yards and ends up in the middle of the fairway!
