Of all the flukes seen on a golf course, greenkeeper Richard Mitchell can claim one of the strangest.

As he took his chainsaw to a leylandii tree, he hit the exact spot where a ball was embedded in the wood and sliced through it.

The ball apparently lodged in a fork of the tree many years ago when a golfer hooked a drive on the first tee. The conifer grew around the ball and it remained hidden in the screen of 15 trees.

6. I remember those mint chip golf balls

But no one hooks off the first tee. Must have been a lefty with a slice.

7. I was fifty foot up in an oak once, and cutting a huge branch off...

To my surprise half the bloody tree split off and fell. It shook me up proper.

in the white pine at our favorite course in Maine. Tee shot hit the tree and never came down. :mad:
