David, No, couldn't see the ball go in. In fact, I thought I hit it over. The green is about 45 yards deep with a big ridge across the middle of the green from about 8 o'clock on the left to 2 o'clock on the right, then it flattens out in the back with a slight tilt to the right. The pin was about 10' from the back edge. I could see the ball go where I aimed it, a foot or so left of the flag, when I hit it and I knew it would carry the ridge. Then, since I was hitting from maybe 10 or 15 feet lower than the green, the ball disappeared. When I got up beside the green, I could see the ball mark about 12' in front of the flag and figured the ball was in the heavy rough behind the green. Took my wedge and putter, but no ball behind the green. With all the rain we've been having, the greens are really soft. Ball must have spun well, rolled and took the slight break to the right into the hole. Surprises are sometimes good. :-)

Could you see it go in? David In a message dated 8/3/2009 5:45:42 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: John, Funny thing happened today. The day after I chose my cheapo 4-hybrid club as my favorite new club, I holed a 175 yard second shot on an uphill par-4 (#13 at Tanasi) for an eagle with the club. I can't remember ever knocking a ball in the hole from that far away. It certainly was the highlight of the day...rest of the game was not so hot.
