8/11/11--a beautiful day after a couple of days of rain. It was my third time out this year, and I was playing with my friend Ava, someone I never played with before. I was a little nervous because she is a very good golfer. On Hole No. 4, a par 3 hole, the pin was to the back left of the green. Ava's drive went right, and mine went straight, landing right before the green. I lost the ball from my sight, hoping it didn't go in the sand trap. When we got to the green, Ava said the ball may have gone in the cup. I didn't even think that was a possibility. I got out of the cart, looking on the green, thinking the ball is lost in the shade. When it wasn't there, I was positive it went in the sand trap. I grabbed my weapons; my sand wedge and my putter. I walked on the green over to the sand trap and looked--no ball. Ava again said, it may be in the hole. I looked around the green, walked over to the cup, and there it was--nestled inside the cup! I screamed (I'm sure disturbing the guy on the next hole hitting his drive), did a few High Fives with my friend, Ava, took a picture, and put the ball away, where it remains in my bag. The day was great; I played a good round of golf, and had to buy everyone in the bar a drink! Thank goodness for Hole In One Insurance! Thank you, Titleist!
