No, not me; but it did happen on my home course recently; and there were five witnesses. We have a young fella who works with the course maintenance crew that did it. He hits the ball a ton...usually shoots in the low seventies...has a personal best of 67 (more than once). Course is 7,004 yds with a slope rating of 140 from the tips.
Shot sequence is shown below:
From the tee box. Ninety degree dogleg right at the top of the picture. Distance to the center of the dogleg is roughly 260 yards. His drive was a fade that carried him perfectly around the dogleg into center of the fairway for his second shot.
This picture is taken from the center of the dogleg. His ball, after the drive, was lying center of fairway, just past the long shadow forward of the forked tree. He hit a three wood that carried just short of the green, hopped to the green, and rolled into the hole. Just put him down for a two!
This is just a closer picture to show the obstacles that his second shot had to avoid. A creek crosses the fairway about forty yards in front of the green; and the bunkers to the right of the green are self explanatory.
