I was playing match play interclub. My opponent snap hooks it off the tee here at Kaikoura Golf Club, New Zealand.
Ball goes OB on the road but…. a big ass truck is coming down the road, ball bounces into the moving truck and bounces back in bounds.
I went on to lose the match by a hole.

I grew up playing some golf at Beaver Brook in Haydenville, MA. In the late 90s, someone got a hole in one by hitting one off a car passing by the hole.

Damn Fonterra…
Also, thanks for the team coming down to Russley a few weeks back. That was fun. 🙂
I skulled a 7-iron over the green on a 150 yard par 3 hole. The line drive hit a tree behind the green and ricocheted directly towards the hole and struck the flagstick on the fly. The green was elevated, so we couldn’t tell where the ball ended up until we got up there. It had dropped straight down and was about 6 inches from the hole, for a tap in bird. Woulda, coulda shoulda made an incredible HIO story.
Last time I played I had 5 or 6 tee shots hook out of bounds before hitting a tree and falling back to the fairway. Sometimes the bounces are in your favor
2 hole in one’s by separate players in my foursome at a tournament, Patty Jewett golf course in Colorado Springs, both worm burning bastards that found their way into the hole.
I’ll alllow it
Did this once on Par 4 with a 7 iron. Don’t even know how, but shanked it hard to the right, into the highway, where it bounced under a moving truck, then came back at me, going past me by 10 yards. Only time I’ve lost yardage on a stroke.
Play it where it lies.
Fore in the Ford !
Playing with my gf’s brothers. Short Par 3 with a lake in front of the green. The little brother left a shot short and as we’re talking shit a turtle surfaces and the ball bounces off its shell and trickles onto the green.
Playing with my dad many years ago. Par 5 along a road. Guy walking his dog down the road without a leash. Dad hits one down the middle. Dog trots over and picks it up and carries it probably 250 yards further and drops it right back in the middle of the fairway in front of the green. As far as I can tell he’s laying one there. Chips on and brushes in the eagle putt. Them’s the breaks I guess.
I did it on a par 3 course as a kid. Shanked it into a train, bounced all the way back down the fairway and settled 15 feet from the pin.
I hit one on an adjacent highway and bounced under a car and started bouncing up and down like crazy for a second. I can’t imagine what it sounded like in the car.
Did insurance get involved?
Stupid rule question? If, on a Par 3 hole you land your ball close to the hole….and the next golfr hits your ball, and knocks you in…is it a hole in one?
I totaled two golf carts in one night. This was a night course and a bachelor party. I had morphine suckers mixed with some 🍻
I once bounced my drive down the road that ran beside the hole. Ended up 40 yards off the green on 580 par 5.
That’s called home cookin’
I’m from Wellington and I knew this was NZ the second I saw it.
My group got delayed by a group waiting for one of their members to finish breastfeeding on the tee box.
It was some sort of family reunion where there were a Lot of non golfers ahead of us so we couldn’t even play through. We just sat there waiting for them to finish breastfeeding.
You’re opponent fixes 10 ball marks on every green.
My old home course has a road dissecting the 3rd and 11th holes. The road is to the left of 3 and often times if you hit a pull cut off the tee, the ball has a good chance of bouncing back in play because it might hit a car or the right lane as it slopes back towards the fairway. The OB line is about 2 feet from the road and walking path.
There have definitely been a few cars hit but I can’t recall one coming back into play after hitting a car.
Rub of the green (truck).
I saw something similar a long time ago. I played Park Hill Golf Course (RIP) in Denver Colorado a ton in high school. The front nine had a hole that ran parallel to Colorado Ave. a friend who had a wicked slice with his driver teed up like he was hitting directly into traffic and let it rip. The ball went dead straight into the side of a Sysco truck then back into the fairway and rolled out pretty well.
100 bucks to hit the truck!
A opponent in a mga tournament hit his tee shot at least 10 yards right into a big pond and as it hit the surface it miraculously bounced out to the fairway. When we got up to where his ball was there was a big turtle in pond right where he hit the ball. True story
Wildest thing I’ve ever seen is a shot I hit.
Everyone else was on this par 3 green, I had sliced my 5 iron and I was greenside but chipping up on the green I couldn’t see the surface of the green. I skulled my chip, it rolled onto the green, ricochet off someone else’s ball and went in the hole. I didn’t actually get to witness it, but the other 3 did. Luckiest birdie possible.
I remember my first ever round. I used to have a crazy baseball swing and it was a terrible round, very forgettable. On the 18th hole I hit a nice drive. I sliced the second shot on the approach, the ball literally rimmed around a huge pond/rocks and onto the green and I scored a par. Crazy game
Ball struck the actual flag from 160 with the most perfect 8i i have ever hit. From there it kicked off the pin, rolled off the green into a bunker and I made a double
I looked far too long at this photo trying to figure out what was weird. Then I actually opened the post and read the additional context. Haha.
I have a course near me with a hole like this, a bit less dramatic but there’s still a highway in easy hook range, and I hate playing there for that hole alone. I’m just terrified I’m going to murder somebody driving along minding their own business as I pull hook a ball at their face.
Is Kaikoura a good course? I’m planning a South Island tour
I sliced a driver towards a highway once, only for the ball to bounce off a power line and end up in the fairway. Not one I’ll ever forget.
idgaf
If you hit a Tree or a Post OB and it bounces back in. Okay, fair game
If it hits a pedestrian or moving vehicle OB, Sorry – I’m calling you OB and not in play because you proved exactly why OB is a harsher penalty than just a lateral hazard. Ball could have hit the fucking window of the truck instead.
