I was playing by myself, hot day walking. Playing from the tips and playing well, 1 over. As I walked up to 11 green I saw a 3-some group on 12 fairway. Bummed, I was making great time. As I walked to 12 green they were walking off 13 tee box I saw it was a friend of mine and two guys I didn't know. He invited me to join them and they waited for me on 14 tee box, apar 3. They'd hit when I got there, having rushed from the 13 green. Take a deep breath, hit my tee shot, hits the ridge I was aiming for as it kicks everything left. Took a little hop forward and rolled in! My first Ace (I'm now one behind my middle so, who had his second at age 12). So first, thank God I caught them. Biggest nightmare for any golfer is to get an ace when playing alone. But the best part? These 3 guys are each devout Southern Baptists, so I didn't have to buy any drinks afterwards :)
