Never underestimate the role of luck in golf! I had a 182 yard par 3 at a course in Arizona I was playing for the first time. I hit a low worm burner with a 4 hybrid off the tee and watched it roll toward the green and pretty much in line with the pin. It kept rolling, and it looked to us (my brother an I ) that it had rolled off the back of the green. and down a hill. We spent five minutes looking for the ball and were about to give up, when my brother looked in the hole, called my name and pointed down. I said "You are kidding!", but he was not. As they say, it's not how, it's how many - and in this case it was an ace.
