I thought it disappeared

I was playing THE WORST round of my life; I have only been playing for 5 months, but it was BAD. I get to a hole I usually drive a pitching wedge on, but was using a swing trainer and forgot to get my club, so I used my fathers 8 iron that he had just used to tee off with. I swing, and it is my best shot of the day.

I see the ball land on the green and start rolling to the right, and then all of a sudden... disappeared... I didn't want to get ahead of myself, but I had thought MAYBE it was a hole in one.

We still drove up to the hole and I took out my pitching wedge, just in case it had rolled off the green, and putter, I slowly approach the cup and see my Titleist NXT staring right up at me! I ended up shooting a 56 on 9, and it was terrible, but the hole in one made up for every second of it!
