First one was during the first round of the Club Championship a few years ago. I was in the A Flight and cruising along at +6 after 15 holes. The 16th is a Par 5, 555 yards from the back tees. Drive goes to the top of a small hill, or part way down depending on the wind and how long you can hit it.
I hit a good drive, centre of the fairway. The lay up shot was good. I had 150 yards, over the swamp and uphill to the green. Into the wind. Problem was I had mud on my ball and we were not playing lift clean and place. So I took a 5 iron to hit the ball a bit easier hoping that would help control it better with the mud on it.
I hit it, the ball started to climb over the swamp and trees and then just about in the middle of the swamp it DROPPED OUT OF THE SKY 
Reload time, and that one I hooked a bit left of the green. Could not see exactly where it landed due to the trees in the swamp. 4 of us searched for it, LOST BALL
Back to the corner of the swamp, now laying 7. Hit it on the green in 8, two putt for a smooth 10. Parred in for a 81.
The next day it was windy again and raining a bit. I go out and shot 79, one of the best rounds of the day, to finish 4th in my Flight. Good recovery, just not good enough.
My other horror story. Men's Night. Par 5, hitting my third from 75 yards, over a pond with a 60 degree Vokey. SHANK. Drop, SHANK. Drop, SHANK. STEAMED NOW! Toss that wedge back in the bag and hit my 52 degree onto the collar, pin high. Lag it up to about 15 inches, going to tap in for a smooooooth 11, MISSED THE DAMN PUTT
SMOOOOOOOOTH TWELVE, and it did not turn out to be the HIDDEN HOLE either  BTW,that VOKEY was traded two days later!
However I no longer hold the record for highest score on Men's Night. That belongs to a young guy I quite often play with. On the same hole I had my 10 on in the Club C, the 16th, he scored a 16 NUMBEROUS BALLS INTO THE SWAMP!
Ahhhh the great game of golf eh 
I know I have had more Good Holes than bad holes in the past 25 years. So the odd blowup doesn't bother me. When you offset a few of those with 3 Holes In Ones, then life is good on the golf course!
