Got my first one in 58 years last February. It was up north at Oak Ridge CC in Agawam, MA on the par 5, 12th hole. The hole was shortened to a 135 yard uphill par 3 because the fairway was still covered with snow and ice. Hit an 8 iron uphill toward the flag but couldn't see the ball go in the hole. What a surprise when I couldn't find my ball until I looked into the hole : ). The best part is that when I went into the bar to announce my accomplishment and buy the required round of drinks, the bar was empty, so it only cost me two beers, my playing buddie and myself!
