We were playing in the Memorial Day Scramble with 4 man teams at Temple Hills Country Club in Franklin, TN. When our team came to the eighteen hole (which was actually our 15th since we started on 4), we were playing well but not great. The eighteenth at Temple Hills is a 491 yard par 5 up the hill. It has a creek crossing approximately 200 yards from the green. Larry Goosetree (Goose) hit an excellent tee shot that stopped just shy of the creek. From there, we had 218 yards uphill to the green. You can see the flag, but not the green itself because of the elevation change. I hit first and left my shot just to the right of the greenside bunker. The next player was Jimmy Wauford. He hit a 3 wood and was just left of the flag, but it took a right hand kick. Next, Goose hit a hybrid right at the flag. Finally, Bill Atkins hit a Titleist hybrid right at the flag. We were very confident that we would have a good putt at eagle. However, when we drove up to the green, there were no balls in sight. Goose went to the back of the green and found his ball, but no others. I then said that I would look in the hole… Much to our surprise and delight, both Jimmy and Bill’s balls were at the bottom of the cup!!! Two Double Eagles (aka, Albatross) occurred in the same group!!

Did I mention that they were both playing Titleist balls??
