I went out as a single early Saturday morning at my favorite Local Course Smithtown Landing. I was grouped with 3 nice gentlemen who played from the tips so I joined in. I had a decent front 9, parred 10 and got up on the 177 yard Par 3 11th with a 5 iron which I had been hitting well . I went second and after my partner hit the fringe in front I hit it nice and straight and commented " thats as far and straight as I can hit a 5 iron". The front of the green is slightly elevated and was shaded. When we approached the green there was only one ball - the first gentlemans - in the spot where we all thought my ball would be...he said you should look in the hole which I did very cautiously with my heart pounding ..and lo and behold there was my ball. It was surreal. My playing partners cheered as I let out a yell and the group in front joined in as well. What a thrill!!!
