Christmas comes a day late

I was playing the par 3, fourth hole at the Links with my wife the day after Christmas. After hitting the ball the trajectory was a straight line drive at the flag. I started yelling for the ball to hit the flagstick, so the ball did not run off the back of the green. The ball landed on the green, took one hop, hit the flagstick and dropped into the bottom of the cup. My wife asked "Did that just go in?" All I could say was "yes."
