Had a ball bounce right in front of my car on El Camino Real a couple of years back, just as I got level with green #1 on El Diablo. It bounced high enough to clear my car by a good margin and ended up in the median. I often walk the MMP along that stretch too: both the 1st hole as well as the 2nd one are good places to find balls that escape the fence. My harvest of balls always picks up when snowbirds are more prevalent.
On the topic of "impossible coincidence" I saw my wife do something similar (though not nearly as newsworthy as the guy who bounced one off a moving windshield). She had about 90 yards to go to the pin on her second shot on a course UpNort and hit a towering shot that came down smack in the hole, with the pin still in place. Never touched the green; just hit and stuck. What are the odds?
