Good analogy Sandy, I have had 2 this summer as well, the best one was from 15 yds out and then the ball rolled about 20 feet in a big arc before dropping.
I was almost into much of a shock like state to enjoy it.
I have had a grand total of 2 such shots so far, complete luck I think.
Almost had a chip in for eagle on a par 5 once, the ball lipped out & I was pissed off to have to settle for a birdie.:laugh:
