Probably more by accident than by design. Still a neat shot. When it comes to accidental shots, I've had a couple. The golf course we live on (our house is at about the 150 yd. marker for #7, a par 5) has one hole that has always been my nemisis. It's #2, a par four with two power lines crossing the fareway about 50 yds. out from the tee. I have never made par, usually double bogey, yet it's not that difficult a hole because it's straight out...no bends or ponds, just those two power lines. One day, while on a round with two neighbors, I teed off and smack....hit the bottom power line. Since they're about 50 ft. above the grass I figured I'd just take extra strokes and hit another ball...only this time aim a little higher. I gave it a mighty whack, and seconds later....smack, I hit the top power line. Both balls merely dropped straight down, but what struck me was the probability of that ever happening again. Pretty remote. Two weeks later, same hole, same players, I teed off and smack....I hit the bottom line again. I played the ball where it dropped.

That's funny, because the golf course I grew up playing has a couple of holes that has the big TVA towers runniing across the fairways and the last hole in particular has the power lines running about a hundred yards out from the tee box.  I've hit the power lines several times on my drives, but one day in particular I hit the power lines 3 times in a row from the tee box.  Hit the first ball and the power lines knocked it straight down, so teed up another one and did the very same thing, so teed up the third ball and did it again.  Hit the 4th ball and sliced it, so of course that was the one that didn't hit the lines.  I've always wondered what the percentages were to hit the lines with 3 successive shots like that.

I had another crazy shot that sticks out in my memory...I had hit a tee shot into the left rough, on the far edge of a dry pond so that I was hitting an uphill second shot with trees right in front of me.  I was trying to loft the ball to get it over the trees, which were about 40 yards in front of me and probably a good 80 feet tall.  I hit that ball and it was a great shot, but right at the very top of the tallest tree.  It hit the very top of the tree a glancing blow, causing it to rebound UP and BACK....it looked like a fly ball hit off a bat...and as I stood there, not moving from my stance....it came right back to me, to the point I just nonchalently put up my right hand about shoulder high and caught the ball in the air, never moving my feet....then I just dropped it back exactly where I hit it from and told the guys I was playing with that "that was just a practice shot" and just re hit it again....this time missing that top of the tree by a healthy margin...they were just like, "wow".... cooldude

Once playing in Aussie with my brother, i hit a laurriekeet (sp) mid flight...at 150 yards out from the tee...I double birdie'd the hole...

Unfortunately the bird did not make it...made a 3 on the par four...

Ha! I bet you couldn't have done that Dave, if you had tried to. Go figger. Friend of mine went out for the very first time with us on a group outing...4 man scrambles...come up to a short par 3 (I wanna say about 110 yards if I remember correctly) but it's one of those that play with your head a bit..over a pond and down about 30 feet onto an irregularly shaped slant. The guys who play regularly are all over the place on the far side or in the pond itself. His shot?...hole in one. I don't believe he ever played again after that, either...lol.
