I'm in a 4some at Santa Clara Country Club. We are on the 14th tee
and my friend John tops his drive and it only goes about 30 yards.
He walks toward his ball to take a mulligan and a seagull swoops down
and picks up his ball. John pulls another ball from his pocket and throws it at the bird. The seagull jumps up and flys in a big circle, drops the golf ball in a near by pond and swoops down and nabs the other ball.
In the words of this years Ameican Idol winner Kris Allen when he met Slash
"I wanted to pee my pants".

I played at a local course and on the 5th hole jumped into a dry ditch about 4ft. deep and was so drunk they had to pull me out. Needless to say my day was done>

Boulder Creek Country Club California, I am playing in
the firemans invitational. I arrive at the 14th hole
where the long drive contest is at. At this time in my life,
I was a 20 handicap and now I'm a 7. I only carried a 2 wood
and the hole was 325 yards long. The long drive flag was 10 feet
in front of the bunker right in front of the green. A big strappin dude hits
his ball 5 feet from bunker. High fives. I get up there with my 2 wood and hit
a ball way left over the condos. It starts to slice back, even more, it bounces off the cart path. Boing straight up and hits the cart path again,
this time bouncing back toward the fairway and into the front bunker of the green. I won a huge trophy for the longest drive. too funny

[knowledge]

That is too funny. I really enjoy the long cart path bounces, but here the cart paths are in such disrepair that you would stick in them just as soon as you would bounce out. It's horrible on local Myrtle Beach and this area courses. No repair cause of the shrinking market.......

Oct 17th 1989, I am on the 18th tee at Tularcitos (now Summit Point)in Milpitas
when a 7.1 Earthquake hits. We could see the club house shaking, we were safe. WOW that was cool! We had no idea how bad it really was.
We had 1 person left to tee off and the funny thing was that for the next 5 minutes he couldn't keep a ball on his tee. Though we couldn't feel it, the ground was still shaking. We were planning on meeting our girl friends at
ElToritos in Santa Clara about 6 miles from golf course to watch the Giants-A's world series game. Little did we know, all the signal lights were out and traffic was at a stand still in every direction. We even resorted to driving with 2 wheels on the sidewalk in order to get to the resturant before the game started. I took us 1 hour 20 min to drive 6 miles. When we get there,
our girl friends are not there and the world series is being cancelled.
WE didn't have cell phones then and the land lines were mostly down.
The girls were coming from Boulder Creek right where the epicenter was.
We spent the night at a friends house in Sunnyvale and waited till morning
to drive home. Highway 9 looked like a war zone. When we got to boulder Creek we were shocked to find that more than a dozen homes had slid down the hill on the same road we lived on. Our house was Ok, the girls were OK and we counted our blessings that day. And NO I don't remember what I shot that day. The worst part of the whole ordeal is that the Giants had to face the best pitcher in baseball Dave Stewart 3 times in the first 4 games and was swept. That really sucked.
