Unseen hole in one

Sept 7 2104 I decided to play a round with one of my customers. I got a tee time at Bittersweet golf course in Gurnee Illinois. We were paired up with a father and daughter. Daughter was on the varsity team and was playing the course to get ready for an upcoming tournament at the course. First two holes were ho hum. Third hole was a 163 yard par 3. The sun was blinding, I was the first to hit. I took out a 6 iron which I normally hit around 165 yards. I hit it well, sure that I was on the green. I didn't see it in the air and didn't see it land. I just assumed I was on the green and would have a putt for birdie. The rest of the group hit their shots and we hopped in our cart and headed towards the green. I grabbed my putter and walked onto the green. Everyone went to their balls and I asked is that a titleist? The girl said yes but she was playing a titleist as well. I looked around and saw a ball mark about 6 feet from the hole. Joking around I said maybe it's in the hole. I slowly walked towards the pin peeking down and to my surprise the ball was in the hole. I was in shock that I had a hole in one. High fives all around. I was on a high the rest of the round. After the round was over I brought my scorecard into the clubhouse, they had me sign the card along with a witness and they are putting my name on a hole in one plaque.
