User:Caspaceguy/Marty bounce

A Marty Bounce is a golfing term used when your golf ball bounces out to a favorable lie, after being shot into a thick forest or other impossible hazard.

The Marty Bounce was coined after recreational golfer Marty Oslinger’s unbelievable and recurring luck in having his errant golf shots bounce back onto the fairway.

How the term is used.

Your Tee shot slices left and heads into a small forest. You are sure that the ball is hopelessly lost, but at the last second your ball hits one or more trees, bouncing out onto the fairway. One or more of your foursome will then say “ He got a Marty Bounce”.
