Our State Mid-Amateur tournament was coming up and I was planning on just practicing at the range at my club one Sunday afternoon. My spouse and I decided to play instead. I was playing very well - one over par after 6 holes. On the par 3, hole #7, I took out my "hole in one ball" (my friends laugh when I tell them on every par 3 I make sure I use a Titleist ball in case I make a hole in one). I hit the shot fairly well, and watched it draw a bit and hit the green. I usually yell at the ball "Go In! Go In!" if I think it might be close, but that Sunday afternoon as I watched it track to the hole I just whispered "go in" and by golly it did!!!
