I was playing in our clubs weekly Saturday competition and I was about to withdraw due to back pain. As we pulled up to hole 8 I had the feeling of dread as I have an all or nothing result on this hole. I teed up my ball and took a good swing and thought that looks a really good flight. As I watched the ball land about three feet short of the pin and then check up and disappear in the hole the pain went away and the yells of joy began. I have never been happier on a golf course.
