About 20 years ago I was playing on one of the Pinehurst courses and drilled an errant 3-wood, very hot and very right, towards a neighboring house's very large picture window.

Heading dead for the center of all of that glass. About 15 feet from the window was a tree with trunk maybe 6 inches wide. Maybe 4 inches wide. My ball struck that tree dead center and bounced all the way back onto the course, into the fairway. I was so shook up I picked the ball up and just walked the next coupe of holes before I could feel myself ready to try again.

Man, that was close.
