Checked one off my bucket list!

On Sat Sept 27, 2014 3 of the 4 guys in my regular group decided to play 18 holes in advance of an outing.

My home club is the park district course in Lake Bluff Illinois. I was playing fairly well (for me) with an even 40 on the front nine and was 3 over on the back when we reached #16, a short par 3. Flag was middle left, about 128 yards, with a gentle breeze blowing in our faces. I figured 135 was the right number so used a 9 iron. Ball had eyes and looked like it might land in the cup. It hit and then disappeared from sight moments later. One of my buddies immediately said “that might be in”. I've been fooled before by shadows but could have sworn I heard something about the time I lost sight of it. As we walked towards the green I tried to contain my excitement but I could not see the ball and better yet had now changed angles and could see it was not behind the flag. My hopes were realized when I reached the cup and found my ProV1 inside. My shot was actually about a foot past and spun back. I rarely spin the ball back so that was icing on the cake.
