Before the round, I picked up some Pro V1s in the shop. My friend laughed and said I'd lose all of them on the front nine.

Instead, I used one of those balls to make a hole-in-one on 16. Right before the shot, I said, "Someone is going to hole one here."

9-iron, 124 yards. Hit it left of the pin, then it disappeared behind a hill rolling toward the flag. We drove up to find no ball on the green.

It was in the hole!
