[Fairway_CY]

Funniest shot that ever happened to me was also on my honeymoon. We were in Jamaica, and as a special gift, my wife told me to play one of the courses out there. After some debate, I settled on Cinnamon Hill. It had been a pretty crappy day in terms of golf, but a great day overall because the course was so beautiful and my wife was allowed to head out with me and drive the cart, even though she wasn't playing.

I had a few shots that I never could have hit if I tried, including one that was laying against a tree in the middle of a fairway, but I took a big swing and it came out perfectly. But - I got to the signature hole which has a huge drop from the tee to the fairway. There are power lines the cross over the fairway, and the local rule is that you can retee or play it as it lies if you hit them.

They are probably 75 yards or so from the tee, and right at the level where my ball flight typically goes. I honestly didn't think about hitting them because, well... I was aiming for them, so - that wouldn't happen. I took my swing and the ball headed right at the lines. It smacked, I heard an odd noise... and the ball started coming back at us. I laughed because I figured it was going to end up being a 60 yard tee shot or so. But the ball kept coming back. And since the lines were at an angle, it was sending the ball back and towards the left, where the cart was... and where my wife was sitting, about 40 yards in front of us.

She wasn't paying attention, and the caddie yelled to her, but it was too late. The ball hit the windshield (which, luckily was up) and ricocheted down the hill. My wife jumped out of the cart, having no clue what happened.

I decided to retee the ball, obviously, and cleared the lines this time. I ended up in perfect position. As we drove down the hill, I had my wife stop so I could pick up the other ball. It wasn't until then that she figured out what had happened.
