One would think...
I remember playing in a charity tournament, years ago, with a former B'More Orioles outfielder. He could hit the ball 280-300, but we NEVER knew where it was going to go...
It was my home course, so I knew it well. We all hit first, trying to make sure we had one "in play" before he unloaded. Sometimes he helped us, sometimes... Well we're still waiting for those balls to come back to earth...
I remember the first hole, a dogleg right, forest on the right, to a blind green. The proper shot was straight along the tree line, anywhere from 200-250 yds.
Once we had that shot, he teed it up and asked, "Anyone ever go over the trees?"
I replied, "Well, not on purpose!" He laughed and said let's give it a go!"
He launched one, over the trees, directly in line with the green. I told him, "If it clears the trees, it could be amazing!"
We drove down and there was his ball, 10 feet from the pin. Of course, we all missed the eagle putt... D'oh!
