The thing that surprised me most of the hole in one was just the suddenness and moment of disbelief.
The hole in one came on a par 3 (hole 8) 140 yard hole at oyster bay golf course in South Carolina. Ball took two hops and disappeared into the hole
Oyster Bay is a great course with plenty of alligators.
Was blessed to have shared it with a good friend to witness it (long with the course ranger , two others in the group and a group of four waiting to hit off another par 3!)
Glad to use a Titleist ball. I keep replaying it in my head and will remember the moment forever.
