Yesterday i found out what it feels like to get a hole in one 142 yards.
I hit a sweet 9 iron in with a lot of draw, flag back left. Ball pitched on slope and started tracking directly towards the hole. Slowly Slowly Slowly... The ball disappears. My heart stops and i wait for my partners reaction. He turns round and looks at me with a stunned look on his face.. OMG is it happening.
Sadly no.. the ball was a foot behind the flag. The flag perfectly obscured the ball. You can imagine the painful disappointment !
That happened to me on a second shot into a par 5, hit the flagstick dropped straight down and what I thought was in. Got all excited grabbed the phone start to video my drive up so someone would believe me get up there only to remember the green slopes away slightly in the back and the ball had rolled like 3 feet past out of sight, not in.
