We had to wait a few minutes to tee off, guys still on the green. Meanwhile the 2 guys playing behind us sauntered up to the tee, to wait behind us.
I hit a 4 iron, 176 yard hole. The ball was barely struck before the other guys whooped and hollered. I wondered why the excitement, I had forgot about the hole-in-one deal. Anyway, the ball was all over the pin, as they say. Hit about 3 feet short of the pin, and rolled 5 feet past.
And no, I didn't Birdie, God Damn it. The putt was straight downhill, I barely tapped it, and it rolled 2 feet past. The laws of physics precluded a Birdie.
I did get a brand new sleeve of 3 golf balls, for hitting the green.
