Best day of golf + longest hole out

[glk23]

Today may have been my best day of golf even though it didn't start out that way. Shot a +1 73, lowest round of the year, and missed two putts of 4' which could have resulted in an even par or -1 round. It sprinkled in the afternoon which made the greens wet and resulted in slow sandy putts since the greens were sanded 2 weeks ago. This upset me because yesterday was sunny and I knew I would regret not taking advantage of it. I'm playing as a single and course seems wide open until I catch a 4 some on the fourth hole. Thought they might let me threw as I was getting to the tee box as they were pulling away.No such luck as they head to the left trees where 3 of them proceed to to take 2+ strokes to hack their balls out. Once they are out of range, I hit my tee shot into the right rough and hope they will let me threw on the next hole. Range finder says 140 yds to a middle pin placement and as I wait, one of the guys yells and waves me up. Wished they would have waited as now I feel pressure with 4 guys standing around the green watching. My only thought is don't duff it. Grab the 9 iron and make a good swing hit it a little thin but right on line. The ball hits the front of the green, releases and starts breaking left towards the hole. Just as I hear one of the guys yell, "go in", the ball disappears and they begin to yell. I just start laughing as I walk up to the green and get fist bumps from the group. Pull my ball from the cup and thank them for allowing me threw. My only other long hole out was to a ridged green and I never saw the ball go in and was playing by myself. It made the rest of the round not matter even though I continued to play well.

Very cool... it's always nice to see it and to have others around to see it as well.
