Post yours, if you have any, but no bug OBs allowed.

It looks like the person in the vid was <i>trying</i> for the bucket though (no one standard BSs that tee shot!), so points off there. Funny OB is only <i>really</i> funny if it's completely accidental.
Inside the pillars on Peaks #6 is a fun one, think both cartman and I have done that but I didn't save my vid.
Aside from that...glitch ones are still the best, through the rock on Grex, or through the fairway on Hland, or the all time best, sbs pinstop OB with Dino at Crown.

the top video is different, but nothing odd.
it does look rather like he meant it.. sbs or bust.. or i've seen sts too, but that was mental.
sbs pinstop OB with Dino at Crown.
seen that, and i think it was unplayable..
that was just weird..
i've been inside pillars once, but i didn't save vid either :(

STS is pretty routine on that hole actually. Keeps you under the bar, that first water skip is pretty consistent. Standard BS there will get you into trouble more often than not though, whereas even regular topspin if you miss PI will keep you under the bar and give you a good chance to skip across.

just as a note to the whole water skipping thing. i found that Topspin/Sidespin has a far better succes rate than just top spin.

Depends on the lie, wind and elevation from what I've seen. If you have a flat lie and no wind, hitting to the same mass of water repeatedly, SSTS doesn't seem to offer any better skipping capability that normal STS, in fact it seems to yield worse results.

hmm ok, just out of experience in water bouncing, i've have greater success rate..
but fair enough. but for that oceania hole i'd rather play SSTS anyway, coz if its the pin the riser fails, your gonna be annoyed.
although mucking around in training the other day i watched 2 spirals fail back to back. 1 just fell off the pin, the other went in the hole and threw itself out again.

Really? I thought people said spirals dont fail but i guess it wouldnt suprise me that this shot fails as well as others

its very very very rare. i mean i was trying in on the practice course with the closest pin and those 2 was the only fails i've ever seen, i must have hit 100 spirals of varying powers and height, and all the rest went in.

Yeah, I had a spiral fail on Oceania #3 a couple of weeks ago. First and only time I've seen one fail, and it was so annoying as well, as it would have been my first ace on that hole. :(

Yep, I can definitely concur. It was the league game and he fail-spiraled that and then pinshot the 12th. He was a pissed off Carty that day :)

Yup I've had a few failed spirals. Not nice but you get on with it. Im sick of the failed homings I've had this week on the Highland tour. Highland of all the courses and 've had more failures there. The killer was the failed homer on H3 for alby, spun back to hole lipped it and left a 19metre putt which i missed, and to top it off I got an alby on H9. Felt really sick :*(

I counted at least 4 failed flaggers this week in the highlands tours. Not happy.

The strangest thing about my ace on this hole that MCPY OB on, that I wasn't even trying for one. I was hoping to get a good lie, and stoot for a birdie or maybe at best an eagle. I sure wasn't going for an ace.
Oh yeah.... they should have given you +60 points for that bucket shot instead of -60.
