Most ridiculous shot you've ever done
Afternoon all, bored at work, got me wondering... What is the greatest/most outrageous/flukiest shot anyone has ever done? Mine would be the 17th at Heaton park, pitching in from a blind spot at the bottom of a plateau in the rough for a birdie. Couldn't even see the pin, never mind the green!

was about 3 years ago. playing a par 3, missed my tee shot left of the green and had to chip over a bunker. Hit my lob wedge thin and ball went right over the gree and over the bunker on the other side. So I had the same shot again. Hit my lob wedge thin "again" was travelling at 100 mph over the bunker at 3 feet high, hit the flag pole smack in the middle and dropped straight down into the hole for a par 3.

mine is actually 2 shots in a row on the par 5, 506 yard 5th at Foxhills (longcross)
Off the tee i was 30 yards left in the air and looking well and truly lost in the heavy tree line before bouncing straight right off a branch and back onto the fairway.
Second shot with 3 iron had the length but was again at least 30 yards wide of the green to the left. This time it hit a trunk about 3 foot up (saved it going ob ) shot straight right again about a foot off the ground, through a green side bunker, hitting the lip nicely to take the pace off it and rolled out to about 10 feet below the pin !!
I made the eagle putt on a shot hole to score 5 truly undeserved points !!!!!!
This game is easy.

I heard that Martin Millichip had a flukey Albatross on a par5 in the Algarve
