  After countless near misses, WTF shots rolling right over the hole, and sandwiches thrown across the room....I get to #5 on BO par 3's, a hole I only played a couple of times with no idea what to hit or how to hit it...

  on the next hole the ball rolls right over the hole, almost back to back HIO's....2nd round on #1 ball rolls of hill right over the hole, almost had 3 of them with in an hour after years of not having a single 1...LOL

  I'd say the trick is not having a clue about the shot but I do that all the time...

  Way to go FD. It will happen again soon. I have no idea how I got the 4 I have. Just like in real golf though, you hit a nice shot and it finds the hole. I started golfing when I was 11 years old, I have 1 HIO in my life.

  Thanks all !!!!!!

  He!! H the 1st shot is easy to figure out why it doesn't go! White ball! A yellow calloway splits the heart...I don't know how you got that black one to go in....

  LOL,  If I remember correctly, they were pretty new to the game and I had to try a sleeve.  

  I just think it was a sales tactic to get me to buy more L35 Callaways painted black,  but nope,  I'm waiting for the yellow one.  ;-)
