May 24th, a rainy day at Ferncroft Country Club in MA. The skies open up for us in the afternoon to start our round. My buddy invites me to join him and his future father-in-law for the first time ever at this course.
We get to the up hill 156yd par 3 16th down 2 holes in the match. I hit a beautiful 9 iron shot that looks like it’s all over the pin. We see my Pro V1 land, bounce 3-4ft in the air and then nothing. Blind to the hole, I walk up to the green with a wedge and my putter thinking the ball had gone long after such a hard bounce. The member walks up to the hole not seeing anything on the green and shouts, “It’s in the hole!”
Needless to say he now wishes I was the one proposing to his daughter next month.
