At Long Last

One of my best friends and my high school basketball coach were having a friendly match last Friday, and when we stepped up to the first tee, I was planning on having a fun-filled day at the course. I was playing barefoot because it's my local course and I am sort of a hick. I hit the ball and right away I knew it would be close. My coach was calling the shot like a radio announcer and commented that it looked long. I knew it was going to hit the green, but I also thought it would end up behind the pin. It hit the back of the green and immediately spun back and started tracking at the pin. We all got really quiet until we watched the ball disappear into the bottom of the cup, and then we went wild! I ended up buying a round for everyone at the course when we finished our round. Luckily, it was the middle of the day on a rural course, so I only had to buy 8 drinks.
