And dammit if it wasn't on the friggin driving range...
Our driving range has a series of greens that are spread out on the fairway so you can practice your distance shots, and I never realized that the flags were actually in cups... until today I figured they were just 'stuck' there for something to aim for.
I was practicing chipping to the 90-yd green with my pitching wedge, and when the ball came off the club I watched it head directly for the pin, it hit the green, took a small hop and trickled up to the flag and disappeared.
At least I had a witness... the guy next to me was like "Did you just sink that?" and my fist-pumping gave the affirmative.
Now if I can just do that out on a course, I may be onto something... since sinking one off a driving mat really doesn't count... but it made me feel good anyway.
