Worst 1st Tee Tee Off

Can be a bit daunting off the 1st sometimes with at least half a dozen other members waiting to tee off and watching. I always just try and get it in play with a 3/4 swing, except for this time. I decided to try and crank it and pulled it straight into a really tall tree that cuts into the fairway about 60mtrs from the tee. The ball proceeded to balloon back toward me and landed smack on the ladies tee right between the red markers. I copped all the calls as I knew a couple of the guys, “At least your on the right tee now” etc. Anyone else have a funny, weird or extreme 1st tee tale?

I’ve seen a few good examples in OOMs and other ISG events.

i played with a poor gent on the west at cooly tweed here on the coast who hit a ground ball with his driver straight into the red marker about 20 metres in front of us which then proceeded to ricochet straight back over our heads onto the practise nets….

Pennants a couple of years ago and my opponent cold tops his drive off the first about 20 metres. I actually felt more nervous hoping I wouldn’t do similar so I opted for a 3 iron off the tee. Shanked it 65 metres into the shit at 45 degrees. Ist tee shot is the only important shot because everyone can see it : )
This space for rent. |

state amateur tourny, 2iron off the first straight into the ball washer, ball ended up behind me on putting green near proshop
long, short, left and right = ALL FINGERED |

You wouldnt be talking about my 3m inside shank with a driver are you OB?

1st crack at club champs and i reckon my worst ever drive on the first since being a member, severe slice 2 and a half fairways away…seem to recall the nicely struck recovery ricochet off a branch into deep skata as it flighted toward the said fairway…what a start
More tigerish than a wounded TIGER

Raging hangover, nice smooth practice swing, then hit the ball about 1.5cm. In front of 25 odd blokes. Proceeded to cold top the next 20m, just past the ladies. Dropped a 40ft putt for bogey, and my playing partners still can’t believe it 15 years later.

Took a massive swing to try and out drive my partner, don’t know how but the ball went underneath me between my legs.
I will break 90 this year. It is NOT my age. It is NOT for 9 Once again I am the reserve moderator ( officially unofficial ) after stink if he decides to come back. |

2 days after hitting every fairway at Moonah Legends, line up on the first at Heritage St Johns in front of some of the ISG elite…and cold top a 3W into the scrub, lost, for my one and only wipe of the day.
Shot more than 36 points in an OOM day….seriously. |
|
hmmm and the funny thing was the ball only trickled into the scrub… that ball should have been findable… to me that was a great starting hole

Have told this one before, but always enjoy repeating it. Was playing in a social club at Oxley. There were about 40 guys all waiting at the 10th tee (our first). One of the guys in the first group has skied his drive off the toe at right angles. It’s flown over some trees and landed on the 16th green some 60 m away and started tracking for the hole. The cheers and groans as it rolled towards the hole,finally lipping out, stopping about 2 inches away were something you don’t get to often.

not mine, but worst would have to be IBF at St Andrews in The Open. You can find it on youtube. Hooked across the 18th and into the township of St Andrews. Hard to watch. 99% of hacks couldn’t even do it if they aimed that way :)

bull shit 3m
any one else heading home to get married?? |

At an Open Day my regular playing partner and I watched a visitor tug his T Shot 20mtrs to the right of tee… left handed player…. We offered kind thoughts and the player said…

1 metre forward + 2 metres sideways = 3 metres

Poor kid in the junior tourny at Kingston Heath on Tuesday,
LOFT. the real reason why my handicap is where it is! |

Yesterdays comp…. hit a low shanky cut drive into the safety fence on the side on the tee ( went obout 50 metres), all the boys givin it to me as i do a CSI to find my tee, find it. 2nd shot 3 wood to about 80 metrs out, wedge to about 2 ft under the hole, sink the putt….what bad drive ??? Recalled this to some of the boys at the 19th hole, they didnt care all they saw and remember was the drive… d’oh

Playing partner off around 11 or 12 had an airswing. It was so strange and a shock to the system that more than one bloke commented as to where the ball went ! Reloaded and three strokes later signed for a par…...... amazing.

One of my good mates is a bit of a chatter box on the course and loves to give me a bit of light hearted lip when I duff a shot. Playing with said mate couple of years ago I hit off first, and it was pretty rank. A skied 5w that would’ve been lucky to go 50m. But it was on the fairway. In terms of crap shots, I got away with it. Well, didn’t he get into me in front of the groups waiting behind us. Apologising to the guys behind on my behalf, asking me if I was going to play this crap all day, saying he’d better call the wife and tell her he won’t be home for dinner, blah blah blah. He gave it to me! He steps up to the plate, the big dog in hand talking about how he’s going to ‘show me how its done.’ Practice swing, practice swing. Steps up, winds up, FRESH AIR. I let out a huge roar. He glares at me with a look that suggested I better shut up of he’ll use my colon as a head cover for his driver.

Not long ago on a Monthly Medal day I managed to top my first tee off just to just off the end of the tee block, buried in long grass on a 45deg angle. Back to the bag, pull out my trusty 5 iron, the waiting crowd now a lot quieter than I remember, and a lot more smirky (bastards!) and proceed to smack it down toward some trees at the bottom of the fairway. No dramas.
Any shot is possible. Except in a comp round of stroke. |
