It was windy at Carthage Golf course on may 3 2026. Hole #8. My buddies and I stepped up the tee to what seemed like a tough, long par 3. 186 yards to the pin from the blue tees. About 15-20 mph wind in the face. Was between 6 and 5 iron. Decided with a full 6 iron.
Hit the shot, started just left of the pin and started to cut towards the hole. With the shot being uphill we couldn’t see the landing zone. So we put our clubs up and all go to the green.
When we get there, my ball is no where to be seen as we expected it to be right off the back in some short rough or on the green pretty close to the pin.
My friend peeks over the hole, and his jaw drops. I think he is pulling the old classic prank on me, but sure enough there it was. My ProV1x #3 sitting right in the bottom of the cup.
What a better feeling for my first ACE!!!
