Who would have ever known

It was all over the water distance, one of those greens with an island , I was afraid I was going to lose one of my best balls, The Titleist DT Solo. I used an extra club, the ball hunted the flagstick, hit the stick and sat on top of the hole, then the wind moved the stick and the ball dropped in. I could not be sure until I went on the green and picked the ball out of the hole.
