The hole was playing about 165 yards. Trying to decide between a 6 or 7 iron. Chose the 6. Hit a good shot right towards the hole. There is a mound on the green and the hole was tucked in behind it. We saw the ball hit the green and roll in the direction of the hole, but then it disappeared behind the mound. I thought it might have rolled off the back of the green. We all jokingly talked of a hole-in-one while the others teed off. Drove up to the green and there was no ball in sight. Assuming that I rolled off, I grabbed my wedge and putter and walked onto the green. Thinking that there’s always a chance, I walked passed the hole and glanced in. There was my ball! I couldn’t believe it happened to me. What a surreal moment. There were high fives and back slaps from our group. We even got some hoots and hollers from an adjacent green! I did buy the customary drinks at our neighborhood watering hole since the course does not have a clubhouse yet.
