After 48 years of trying, it finally happened. I've watched as the ball has hit the flagstick and rolled away,rimmed the cup and stayed out, and stopped within a breath of dropping, but no ace.

Just another night of league play, par 3, 122 yards, the flag is deep on the green and on the right side downslope. Pulled out my 48 degree Vokey and let the Titleist fly. Headed toward the stick, been there before, the ball hits, checks up and rolls toward the flag. The ball goes out of site, I think it rolled of the back, but one of our foresome said it went in the cup.

Well he is 6 inches taller than I, maybe he's correct. It takes forever to get to the green, the ball is not in sight, I look in the cup and who would believe it. There is my NXT, with my signature green mark, looking right at me, wow! Best golf day this year, love this game.
