So the 6th at Portsea is 445m from the back tees. The hole is a 'rolling' dogleft left which has an elevated tee where you drive down the fairway and then have your second shot up to the green. The breeze was right to left and about 15kph.

Took the driver off the tee and sconned out of the centre. The ball started right of centre and then drew back with the breeze. The ball landed about the middle of the fairway and then rolled down to the left edge of the fairway. Fortunately there is a flat section right where my ball landed.

The second shot was uphill to the flag which was on the front edge and in the middle of the green. I was about 185m from the flag and hit the 5 iron out of the sweet spot cause I didn't even feel the club hit the ball. Again the ball had about 2 metres of draw on it and was 'tracking' into the flag in flight. It bounced on the front of the green and then I couldn't see it due the green being uphill. My playing partner just kept on digging me about the'Eagle' I'd be putting for the whole way up the fairway.

When I got the green I couldn't see the ball, so I started getting p*ssed that the shot had rolled through the green. Had a look at the back of the green and still couldn't find the ball. My mate then shouted for me to check the hole, which I did and found the pill sitting smiling up at me at the bottom.

I then started shouting crap like "it's in the hole...I hit an Albatros". Some people clapped, others told me to shut up...but I didn't care. I WAS KING OF THE WORLD!!!
