Golf can be a Four Letter Word

I had the opportunity to play in a chamber of commerce golf outing yesterday, June 23rd, at Edgewood Country Club just east of Pittsburgh. I came to the 5th hole, a par 3, which was playing about 170 yards. I chose a 6 iron and tried my best to make a good swing. I had been pulling shots on the previous holes and was determined not to do it again. I hit the shot and it felt very good. When I looked up, I saw that it was on a great line. The ball hit the green directly in front of the pin then struck the pin and veered off slightly to the left. The ball had a lot of spin on it and that caused it to come back and strike the pin a second time. It still didn't fall in the hole but remained a few inches behind the cup. If the ball would have gone in, I would be giving rides to my friends today in a new 2009 Hyundai. That's right . . . it was a contest hole and the prize was a new car!!!

You've got to be kidding me. I've never heard of a ball hitting the pin twice. How about you?
