Where’s my ball?

Got up to the tee ranged the yardage, 80 yards to the pin. The flag was middle/left of the green. Did my normal set up, hit the ball. It went high. So I stared walking off the tee box, I knew it was going to the center. All of a sudden I heard the ball hit the flag stick. Didn’t see the ball go in, or anywhere on the green. Assuming it kicked off the flag stick and shot off the green. Walking up to the hole with my wedge and putter, found my ball IN THE CUP!! I tore up the side of the cup, so I had to call the pro shop for them to have the grounds crew come and fix it. This was at 9:15am, so a lot of golf left to play all day. I couldn’t believe it! I was playing a PRO V1X 3.
