My mind seems to recall in the early 80s in a European event a guy climbing up a tree to play a shot.

Now did that actually happen, or did I dream that up?
Bernhard Langer, yes it did.

Would take a lot of efforts to get another one stuck if he was trying I guess, pretty slim chances of losing a ball like that especially with a crowd around

Ok but the Pro's have their ball pointed out to them by the crowd when it goes into the rough (not like us) and a free drop when it hits the stands, when half the time it would have fired yards past the green. Oh and I'm not bitter either.

That's the one I can remember too - think they put a plaque (or is that the dental thing?!) up the tree to commemorate it. I have it on some really old, random Best of BBC golf video narrated by Alex Hay. Strange what the mind remembers!

I like him, a lot, and have heard him speak glowingly about how Clarke and McIlroy's recent successes have been great for NI.
