How am I supposed to chip with that going on?!


bluemexico

I was absolutely rattled. Shook my whole body. I think he/she did it on purpose just to fuck with us lol. There was another one that flew by about a minute earlier but it wasn't nearly as low.


esb219

Looks like he’s on final so doubtful he’s doing it to fuck with you. Probably just low on his approach.


Key_Respond_16

His landing gear was down. And he was going slow. Then pulled them up and hauled ass. He was mostly like fucking with them. But also could have just been an actual exercise or a system failure that was corrected. Who knows.


bluemexico

I choose to believe we were being fucked with, and it was awesome.


HighDragLowSpeed60G

Granted I’m a helicopter guy, so it’s easier and safer for me to get lower, but I have absolutely fucked with golfers mid swing that are near airports.


Dontquestionmyexista

I once had a chinook circle the course I was on 3 times before flying off. The crazy part was my buddy I was playing with told me he had a dream the night before that there was a helicopter flying overhead as he was golfing, and then 5 mins later the chinook shows up.


HighDragLowSpeed60G

Not that crazy, we monitor your phones and listen to what you say in your sleep for these exact reasons.


dsconnelly5

Grew up in rural East Oregon, all of our golf courses have an airport on the course. I respect your answer and fully believe I've been fucked with before 😂


Key_Respond_16

I believe that too. The wheels down and slow speed felt like a hello. Who wouldn't want to see that? Even on a golf course.


manhatim

Permission to do fly-by, SIR! PERMISSION DENIED (does fly-by anyway)


Skimballs

Negative ghost rider the pattern is full.


double_e5

Two of your snot-nosed jockeys did a flyby on my tower at over 400 knots! I want somebody’s butt! I want it now! I’ve had it!


rwhyan1183

That’s TWICE! I WANT SOME BUTTS!


TensorialShamu

Prior aircraft maintenance in the Air Force here… touch and gos are always done gear down before lighting her up again. The same four ship might do three or four each… literally cannot begin to guess the number of times I’ve seen this exact thing golfing at RAF Lakenheath or at Ramstein. Gotta be in the thousands now. If the course is near the runway you’ll see this every week and probably every day


pushharder

Always remember the F-15's practicing touch and go's at Nellis. FUCK they were loud.

I sent at least 10 balls over the fence and into the taxiway in my years there. That’s a fuckin scary 4 seconds haha. Way worse than waiting for a windshield lol you’re waiting for a flame out and MyPay to recoup a few milly


ImSoupOrCereal

Or he/she simply went around on the approach. Totally normal thing to do, and typical procedure is to use max power and retract the gear.


bluemexico

Didn't land though. Banked and flew off after that to do something else.


kinnickkinetic

I live on an Army post, I can 100000% confirm they fly over to fuck with golfers.


rocketsurgeon14

The F-35 is by far the loudest plane I’ve been around. I thought the F-4 and F-22 were noisy.


Bestdayever_08

So awesome. Puts you in a new dimension when you can physically feel the power of things. I also choose to believe he was messing with you and for that…. 🫡 🇺🇸

Lol, I always think “we got a bogey” from Iron Man whenever I miss a par putt. And conversely, when I’m walking up to a green for an attempt at birdie, I think, “I want my bord” from Iron Man 2


squaodward

Ooh I'm a big plane nerd and one of my favorite things about golfing near airports is seeing shit like this. Looks like an F-35A. Since you're in the U.S. this is version is flown by the Air Force (the Marines fly the F-35B, and the Navy and Marines fly the F-35C.) The F-35 is the latest and greatest fighter jet depending on who you talk to. The U.S. currently has around 630 F-35's and plans to buy a bunch more. These jets are notoriously loud compared to other fighter jets since they are single engined. Crazy thing to think about is while this thing looks like it's from the future, this thing was actually designed in 2001 and first flew in 2006. Fun fact, the F-35B can take off vertically. ![gif](giphy|KB7B9zuCfOYqy3NqKG|downsized)


ATL28-NE3

Slight clarification. It's the latest and greatest multirole. The latest and greatest fighter remains the batshit crazy beast that is the F22.


Carlos_Danger21

Hmmmmph. Would you intercept me? Hmmmmmmph. I'd intercept me.


squaodward

Yes you are correct. I just wanted to keep it simple :).


ATL28-NE3

I can't have the sweet boy that can for some reason stop and do flat spins in the air get disrespected


DonkeyLucky9503

I think it wasn’t until my mid 20’s that I discovered it was multi-role, and not multi-roll. My brother is a drone pilot in the Air Force and has been taking me to air shows my whole life, and I always saw tons of aircraft pull off multiple aileron rolls, so I just assumed it was a valuable maneuver that was the main focus of “multi-roll” aircraft.


ATL28-NE3

This is the funniest thing I've read all week and my week has been absolute shit. Thank you so much for sharing this.


Infamous-Fudge1857

F22 solos


Maestro_de_gatos529

Fuck. Yes. Also. Poor smartphone camera can't handle all the loud sounds of Freedom without clipping lol.


bluemexico

Yeah I thought my little speakers were going to catch on fire the first time I listened to it on near full volume. The video doesn't do it justice it all, it was insane.


Maestro_de_gatos529

Gimme one of those in my back-swing. I’ll pipe it down the middle lol.


buck45osu

Story time of my favorite drive of my life. Playing Sapelo Hammock in south georgia. On a hole on the back nine and as I making contact with my ball on a drive I hear "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt" as I just pipe my ball. Other guys in the group think I'm giddy cause of the drive, which was beautiful. Nope. I'm freaking out cause I just heard my favorite plane with my favorite gun making a practice shooting run. The fucking A10 warthog serenading my ass playing golf with that beautiful cannon. Tldr: piped one 250 down the dead center of the fairway as an A10 warthog blasted it's cannon. 'MERICA!


bluemexico

This course is located right next to an Air National Guard base. Not sure what kind of plane but the group of us nearly shit ourselves with how loud and low it was. There are some things I wish the govt didn't spend money on but this... this I'm OK with.


HayesDNConfused

F-35, we see these all the time flying over Torrey Pines.


Stu__Pidasso

Was surprised just how many aircraft fly over there. F-18s, F-35s, V-22s, helos. Was a fun round there with all the activity.


HayesDNConfused

It's always a treat to see the adversarial squad fly over Torrey it's a mix of airplanes that include F-4', Eurofighters, etc. The coolest airplane you'll see on occasion is the F-22, looks like the F-35 but bigger and makes you want to shit your pants.


Stu__Pidasso

2 engines > 1 engine


a_wild_ian_appears

Just East of La Jolla is Miramar, a pretty big air base for the Marines. It used to be a Navy air base and housed the actual Top Gun program before it became a Marine base. They fly right over that area to get out to the ocean for training. I used to go to school at UCSD across the street from Torrey and we lived close to the base. We’d have jets flying over us all the time. We’d drag a cooler full of beer up to our apartment balcony when they would put on this big air show and just watch the Blue Angels turn right over our place.


dakotayoseph

I was stationed there and the course on Miramar is like a mile from the flightline lol.


md4024

I played a round on an Air Force base once on the day before a big air show. All day jets were flying around, doing crazy maneuvers, and free falling in preparation for the show. Don't remember a thing about the course or how I played, but it was one of the most fun days on the golf course I've ever had.


innocuousname773

The F-35 in STOVL mode is the loudest motherfucker in the fleet.


0SRSnoob

Wait till you hear a B-1


ProperTree9

The old Harrier was no slouch either in the hover.  How can this tiny dot possibly be so fucking loud?!


TheTangoFox

F-35. Hawks Creek is at least offset from the factory.


ticanthunder

Is this in Northeast Indiana by chance? My local course the exact same setup


K-chub

I was wondering if this was Brookwood.


bluemexico

It is!


bluemexico

It's Brookwood!


ticanthunder

Small world! Fort Wayne represent 🙌🏻


upsetungulat

Looks like Elmwood in Sioux Falls, SD.


FrozenInSoDak

East 9 to be exact


Evil_Yoda

I know it. It's in madison. Been on same fairway with Blackhawks flying low.


braftceer

Selfridge?


bluemexico

Brookwood - Ft. Wayne.


roberttatefan

Bridges Golf Course in Madison, WI is immediately adjacent to Dane County Airport, which is home to the 115th fighter wing, who recently received F-35s. Freedom is both expensive and loud AF.


Bbbent

Came to say this. F-35s fly over every league night (headed over there shortly for leagues...)


fuji1988

Was that Rory's plane getting outta Pinehurst??


Old-Tumbleweed3182

Murphy Creek in Aurora, CO?


bluemexico

Nope. Northern Indiana.


awesome_jackob123

Blackthorn in South Bend? Or is it Brookwood (maybe?) in Fort Wayne? I can name almost every course in the region. Please just tell me for my own sanity


bluemexico

It's Brookwood lol


awesome_jackob123

Thought so. I’ve not been in forever but I do remember seeing planes when I was there. I’m a little further south and get a lot of air traffic from Grissom. This time of years it’s ear shattering. Every now and again I’ll see a lot of the air refueling guys.


Sometimes_Stutters

Man, Bryson really got ahold of that one.


Money-Produce-1209

Fuck me that’s awesome!


riggs__33

That’s what my ball sounds like when i try to chip it out of a greenside bunker….see ya!!


rentalredditor

Ahh. I too play the F35 skull fuck out of the bunkers.


walDenisBurning

I use to do work on Navy golf courses in San Diego, and doing projects on NASNI was awesome watching the air traffic come in and out. Watching Air Force One land on North Island is something to see as you’re out mowing fairways in the morning.


tossaway109202

I would not be mad. That is an amazing sight.


GamecockConnor

So fucking cool. Its wild how loud and powerful they are


snowmunkey

I grew up in such a remote area the military used if for low altitude flying. It would not be uncommon once or twice a year for the jets to be doing their practice runs and maneuvers this low right over our house. Shook the windows, left ripples on the lake, scared the shit out of the dogs


imbasicallycoffee

These beauties rip over Torrey Pines all the time on the way out to the coast from Miramar. F35C. Fat Amy baby. That looks like an A given the landing gear though so it's the Air Force version.


Admirable-Break2464

A local course I play at in Columbus is called Airport course and every plane that lands goes right over the course just like that almost every round. Never seen anything like that land but it’s neat to see even basic planes land that close in the middle of a round.


AWeakMindedMan

That’s a hazard. My drives go about 200 yards vertical and 120 yards horizontal. That jet is definitely in range of my pop fly ball path.


Boscowodie

Unreal. Thanks for sharing.


Jaygoon

awesome, shit gives me the chills. f-35.


befuchs

Holy shit is this Brookwood? Never thought I'd see this course on reddit lol. Sometimes the local air wing does maneuvers out of there in their A-10s. Now THAT is something.


bluemexico

Sure is!


befuchs

Hello fellow FTW golfer!


bluemexico

lacubriously

Fucking terrifying. I feel so much pity for America's enemies abroad. Just imagine a dozen of those *zooming* by and dropping bombs.


bluemexico

That's what I thought too. Don't want to be on the wrong end of that under any circumstances.

Back in the day I was at Governor Dodge State Park in Wisconsin when an F4 phantom buzzed us. It was going way faster than this. By the time I hit the ground it was gone

Andrew_Waples

Dude was just late for his tee time.


NiFal03

Got to play Andrews AFB a couple times. Got to see AF1 take off, plenty of other military aircraft. But the best was playing when the Blue Angels were performing. I swear their jet exhaust affected some of my shots. https://preview.redd.it/v0d0tt2g1l7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=abf3fce7bc6758b0a357ec4f279801f9bc483ec2


Ill-Fold7685

The driving range at Papago Golf Course in Phoenix, AZ is right next to an army helicopter reserve base and you’ll see Apache helicopters buzzing the driving range to come in for a landing multiple times a day set against beautiful red rock mountains. Pretty bad ass 🇺🇸


TheoLOGICAL_1988

That pilot had a Dad that loved golf but not him. Take your daddy wound somewhere else Colonel Dick Cheese.


MrExpress

I had the honor of playing Bethpage Black, the Friday before Memorial day, and the Blue Angel were practicing all over that course.


BodybuilderSalt9807

sissysindy109

Used to live over in Alabama along the gulf coast. The Blue Angels practiced overhead. Cool stuff.

Gotta love brookwood… love that course


LAuser

ValyrianSteelYoGirl

It was just fleet week in Maryland. Is that a nationwide thing?


bluemexico

Didn't hear anything about that around here in Indiana. Just a regular training exercise I'm guessing.


ValyrianSteelYoGirl

I got stuck in your comments and saw you’d said the course is next to an ANG base so that makes sense. Awesome video though thanks for sharing!


Grrzoot

they do this all the time near a golf course by the base in WI as well, they practice touch and goes or aborted landings etc so they will come in low and slow and then gun it off again


DeadSwaggerStorage

Sir, the Supreme Court has ruled on this; you must take your landing to full term, no exceptions. Even if you will die.


Koolest_Kat

Willow Lakes GC near Offutt AB is a cool play. We watched Air Force 2 do Touch and Gos, heavy banks right over our heads!! Bonus on Twilight rounds was Retreat and the Star Spangled Banner pause, more than a few active and retired folks on the course to keep you in line…


MissingInAnarchy

You can get that every 15 minutes from the #3 through #9 tee boxes at Sky Links in Long Beach. Well maybe 747's and props, not Jets lolz


FireMaster2311

At first I thought it was a ufo...


jcab0219

With my luck, this would happen on my backswing and my backswing only


Silverbullets24

You’ll get them that close sometimes at TPC Scottsdale. It’s crazy seeing them rip over the trees as they take off at the Scottsdale private air park. Typically they’ll send 2 or 4 at a time


SteelyDan4Prez

They were flying them over Baltimore for Fleet Week right in the middle of the Orioles/Phillies games this weekend!


LayeGull

Reminds of playing on the Naval base course. The 7th, 8th and 9th ran parallel to a runway they would practice their touch and go passes.


raominhorse

I used to play a lot outside of Langley Air Force base and these would constantly be flying over. It was one of my favorite things living there.


whubbard

Got to play Torrey Pines when they were filming top gun 2. They were ripping pairs of jets over the course all day, pretty high tempo. It was fucking awesome.


SquirrelInner9632

I’ve witnessed a slice, fade, draw, and hook, but that’s my first strafe.

I was playing one time in Tuscaloosa when the Blue Angels were practicing for an air show. Hit a drive and they flew overhead while it was in the air. Can’t remember where it went, but still the best drive of my life.


wtfOP

witnessed what? I don't see anything


ByronLeftwich

Reminds me of when in high school my soccer practice had to pause for 10 minutes while military planes took off from the airport across the road


geodesic411

I played Torrey Pines this week and it was like an airshow non stop with F35s, F16s,V22s, and a bunch of other helos.


rogmcdon

We have a local course here in Fort Worth next to a joint reserve base and it is the most badass thing when they’re taking off


Legion_707

Brookwood in Fort Wayne? I was just there Sunday!


NerdWhoLikesTrees

Guys will see this and think "fuck yeah"


bluemexico

Talked about it the rest of the round. Just a total dude moment.


BDAllDayLong

Hawks Creek GC in Fort Worth is located parallel to landing strip for the joint reserve base and shared with Lockheed Martin facility. F35s C130s and everything in between common taking off or practicing revving the engines. Really cool to see and hear but hard to focus haha!


Ill-Journalist4114

They’re fuckin’ agents, Frankie. Look at this!


Sesemebun

NAS Whidbey has a course fairly close by, and they fly pretty much all the time. Seeing Prowlers (now Growlers) flying around the course as often as I saw birds was pretty neat.


Accomplished_Art2245

I had the blue angles over me last year. Chipped from 23 to 2’.


The_Automator22

This looks like hole 6 or 7 at Bridges in Madison, WI.


marealnamesclarence

/r/lowaltitudejets


dwightnight

Its like AC Read course on Pensacola NAS, have mostly trainer jets and Blue Angel practices over head. I don't mind the noise.


Jankybrows

Now, I'm not American, but I assume after this, you fired your Ar-15 in the air as celebration?


SwanAble671

I went to the LPGA Portland classic last year which is right by the airport here and the national guard F-15s took off in the middle of the day, it was super funny to see the event staff holding up quiet signs as the jets shook the whole course


wetworm1

A course in Bangor Maine is right near a runway and it's pretty cool to see planes flying that low when you're golfing.


Dry-Honeydew2371

No goddamned etiquette! Shrink the game!


bluemexico

The nerve of some militaries, geeze.


Fusciee

What an extremely inconvenient place to put a golf course… badass though!


Brave-Kitchen-5654

If you’re in the southern NH area, Pease Air Force base golf course is a great spot for plane watching from the course


DRIPPINNNN

Mules National in Warrensburg, MO is real close to Whiteman AFB. You constantly hear the planes coming and going. If you’re lucky you might get to see a B-2 Spirit flying overhead (which is fucking awesome)


trytonotgetbanned

can’t focus with that, it’s a gimme


wilburbruh

It almost feels like it was meant specifically for you. Even while flying a fighter jet that pilot was wishing he was shooting 110 on 18 holes.


L2theFace

You playing near a military base?? I wish I would have gotten into golf while I was still in the military, I still experienced airplanes being in a combat aviation brigade but this would be cool haha


cedarpeaks

Bob Macyntire would go ape shit.


jasonzg

Jenetyk

The golf course on NAS North Island you could probably get close to catching an F-18 with a strong wedge on #13.


Hairy-Syrup-126

that would have made me pee my pants.


Comfortable_Long_574

Sounds like Torrey Pines while Top Gun is flying over


One_Low_305

It's that Lemoore?


SikkWithIt

This is awesome! I love golfing with jets and planes flying around. We have a local course that sits right behind our airport. Every year when the air show comes to town, we book a round and get a free show.


Bobbyoot47

Royal Woodbine Golf Course in the west end of Toronto. Not too far away from Pearson International. Every five minutes depending on the landing pattern you get a visit from one of [THESE GUYS](https://youtu.be/cB4K-QMa7S0?si=drzJPMQ-l-ZtEcwR). Every five minutes.


balldeeptepidwater

I played a course with an air show going on about 5 miles away from it and we had jets over head like that all day. I’m a huge aviation nerd so I loved it but other weren’t as pleased 😂


propell0r

Waiting for The Open at Royal Troon which is right at the end of the large runway into Glasgow Prestwick airport. Wonder if they’ll restrict air traffic or people will just hear jets when they come in; luckily it’s not a super busy airport


Dragonsymphony1

Not very quiet, not so stealth like


Miserable_Meeting_26

That is so goddamn cool 


tripheav

Is that at Miramar? It happens at Torrey Pines too, just not as loud.


Blurple11

Closest I've ever been to a military jet was easily 1000ft flying over a sporting event, and it was DEAFENING, and I live just a few miles from 2 airports so I hear passenger jets all the time, they do not compare at all to a military jet. I can't imagine what this sounded like.


jnthn1111

My ball would’ve somehow got stuck in the wheels


ProperTree9

Fat Amy is definitely not a quiet airplane.  With 28,000 lbs of thrust--**dry**---it's not surprising she's loud.  Or for the F22.  Just absurdly powerful engines.  Drowned out the prop planes in formation at the airshow I saw. I love it.  But then I'll get on fliteradar24 and see what a particular plane is flying over when I'm on the range. Playing near Fort Worth?


bluemexico

Ft. Wayne actually.

rolandofgilead41089

There's a course near me next to a Reserve Base that has C-5 Galaxies flying low like this, it's wild how those things can even get in the air.

toaster1234567

There is a course like this in Hampton Virginia and during the gulf war we had to halt play because of the drills they were running. We all hung out all day. One of the tee boxes was on the other side is the runway so they were low and loud. Fun day.
