robertson153 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I know that anyone who has ever played the game has lost their fair share of balls. That's not what I'm asking. The other day I had 158 yd shot, took out my trusty 9i, made a good swing with good contact. Only problem is never seen it leave the club, nor did the guy I was playing with. Straight away par 4, no woods, no water, nothing to hide my ball. Looked for a few minutes with no luck. That's the first time it's happened to me. Usually I'm the one that has to watch other people's ball (got that hawk eye as I like to call it). Anyone else had a similar experience? My guess is aliens took it.

STUDque Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I have that happen on the tee from time to time but my partners usually see the flight for me. Never really on approach shots. The other day at the range, it seemed like 1/3 of my balls disappeared as soon as I made contact. Something funny with the tree line/cloud color.

revkev Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 My guess is that it was buried in the bunker short.

robertson153 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 That's the thing. Cloudy day=no sun. No bunkers. Rough had just been mowed. Wide open so should've at least seen it come down or drove past it on the way to the hole. Even went back to where I hit it and searched all the way to the hole.

yungkory Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Happened to me today off the tee, and none of the jerks I was playing with watched for me. I literally didn't see it off my driver, and just drove straight hoping. Luckily I absolutely crushed it down the middle and outdrove all of my jerk coworkers by 40 yards at least.

Rekklss Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I lost one on a wide open fairway hitting an 8 iron - 155 yards. I think I hit a wet spot just in front or back of the green. Just went into the grass & the grass just sucked over the ball. No place else it could have gone as I saw my ball going high & straight. Maybe the same thing happened to your ball. Grass gets real damp near sprinklers. Especially in the AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDHolmes Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Not much in ghe fairway, but hete they're getting ready for the city championships and growing the rough. Its about 6" high now and lost balls on what one thinks is in the fairway are pretty common. I find a lot of balls each round now.

JAGolfore Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Had this happen last week in league. Hit a 3 wood. Never saw it off the face and no one else did either. The sky was an odd color as the sun was setting and it made it tough to watch the ball. I knew I hit it ok. And luckily we did find it but if I was by my self I wouldn't have looked behind the bunker on the left.
