It was a beautiful 77 degree overcast day at Ingleside Golf Club. I happen to make my first eagles ever on hole 9 on a par 5 and holed out from 92 yards (same magic Titleist ball).

Then it happened on hole 17. The flag was 120 yards away adjusted with slope. The green was elevated so you couldn’t see the bottom half of the flag. I hit a tight fade gap wedge right at it. It looked like it was long when we saw the bounce. I brought my wedge on the green thinking I might not be on.

We didn’t see the ball anywhere and my buddy said let me check the hole jokingly. My buddy is so genuine that when he said “no way” I knew it was real. We all went pretty wild. Never thought I would see the day to be honest.

Then I cried.
