Christmas came a day early for me. We drove 2 hours south of here to visit my family for Christmas, and played a round on my old home course on Christmas Eve Morning. It started out cold and windy. We reached #10 having a good day and the sun started to come out. I had a 42 on the front. Tee'd off on #10. It is a interesting par 3 in which the tee box is elevated about 8 to 10 stories above the green. Bunkers on the right, hill to the front and woods to the left, and trees tops that you have to navigate on the way down. It plays about 110 yard. It is a hole that can be played a number of ways in which alot will punch a PW or 9i straight out. I hit a 3/4 SW that I originally lost in the sun. I told my playing partner I lost it, then saw it fall below the sun. It landed about 4 or 5 feet short of the pin. Usually on this green the ball will stop dead because of the elevation. It slowly started rolling towards the pin. My playing partner start yelling for the ball to go. We both thought it would stop, and on what seemed liked the last rotation the ball fell in the hole. My wife was about 50 feet below, because you have to walk up about 50 steps to the men's tee and she thought it was left at first but looked down and saw it creeping towards the cup as well.
This hole was the closest I ever came before, where a ball hit 4 inches in front of the cup, and finished 4 inches behind the cup in a direct line with the pin. Definately one to remember for me, and fortunately it came in the presence of my wife and our friend that we used to play with every week on the first course I ever played.
At least I remembered to bring my American Express Card.
I was planning on replacing my SW in the next week or two, that may have to wait a while now.
