i haven't been playing very long, so mine isn't nearly as cool...
this happened the 2nd time i played a full 18 hole course.
155 yard par 3
from the front of the tee box, to the front of the green was all water, and there was a cinder block wall infront of the green. anything short would put you in the water.
i took a 5 iron, to ensure it wouldn't be short. i over shot the green and landed about a foot off the top of the green. the green sloped down towards the water. i decided to put from off the green, because a chip would've easily rolled into the water with the amount of slope.
with the break, the ball traveled somewhere around 30-35 feet, hit off the flag stick and went right in the hole for my first birdie.
my buddies were all jumping around and yelling. it was a pretty cool experience, and the whole reason i keep coming back...
that one great shot...
EDIT: to help visualize, i added a satellite image of the hole. the green 'X' marks where my tee shot landed, and the red 'X' marks where the pin was that day.
