Hole number 8 Auburn Valley GC Auburn CA. It was Nov 18, 2017 at our Men's Club Event. Hole #8 is a 140 yd uphill par three that plays 150ish, from the tee box you can only see the top half of the pin. There were four of us standing on the tee box waiting for the group in front of us to clear, when we all started talking about hole in one's. There was only one guy on our group that had hit one, in fact he has three in his life. He was a 2 handicap. The rest of us were all between a 9 and 11 handicap, all with at least 25 years of playing experience. The first guy hit his ball and was pin high to the left, the second guy hit his ball to the right, the third guy hit his ball straight at the flag, in fact the ball hit the pin and dropped straight down, so we were all excited that maybe his ball went into the hold. I was last to hit, my ball flew directly over the flag, from our view point we could see the ball divot jump in the air when my ball hit the green. When we got to the green, we could only see three balls, the guy on the right side walked to his ball and looked in the cup. He told John (who hit the flag) "John you better look in the hole". John did, he was so excited jumping around and high five'ing everyone. After all his excitement John reached down to take the ball out of the hole. The rest of us went to mark our balls. John reached in and took the ball out of the hole, it was then he realized it was not his ball. I looked on the ground at what I thought was my ball and noticed it was a Bridgestone, and I am playing a Titleist #1. It was at that point John, said "This is a Titleist 1, it is not my ball". That is when I said "That's my ball...not yours" his joy quickly became sorrow, while I was now the one high five'ing everyone, including John. John was really bummed he did not get the hole in one, but was equally excited that I got it. The club members gave him a razz'n for not noticing the ball in the hole was not his. Need less to say, my bar bill was rather expensive, but telling the story to everyone was worth it. I hope John gets his hole in one soon.
