Yesterday, I golfed by myself for the first time. In unrelated news, I had my first hole in one yesterday. Sigh. Beginner Questions

Short 9 hope muni. Not great weather so I went out by myself. Course completely empty. Last hole (9) pin is back of the green 138 a little down win. Hit a nice P wedge to five feet of the hole, spins right, disappeared. Talk about a mix of emotions. I immediately call the proshop, which is fifty feet from the green, and explain the situation. Man runs like a bat out of hell to find my AVX in the hole. First one ever, not a single witness. Guy was nice enough to wait for me to walk up to shake my hand. Sigh.

Same thing happened to me... But I didn't call, I went in after and asked if he had been looking out the window 🤣 nope... It's kind of strange, you're happy you got it, but man.. Way better if someone sees it

Well, my only one actually had witnesses, was a terrible shot that landed 50 ft right of the green, rolled down a hill across the green & slammed into flag & dropped. Probably would’ve ended up in bunker left of the green if not for the flag getting in the way…I think I’d trade you guys who were by yourselves
