You're in good company:
Arnold Palmer had a 12 once. His dozen came in the 1961 Los Angeles Open, on the ninth hole at Rancho Park Golf Course, a par 5 flanked by the driving range on the right and Patricia Avenue on the left. After hitting a drive in the fairway, Palmer hit two balls right and into the driving range, two more left and onto Patricia Avenue, then hit his 10th shot onto the green. Two putts later, he had his dozen.
As the story evolved through the years, he was said to have replied this way to a question as to how he made 12: "I missed a three-footer for 11."
When I lived in L.A., I used to play that same course, and at the tee box of that hole they have this big plaque commemorating Palmer's amazing score, with a run-down of how it happened.
