  1. On 3-15-22 I played the Ocean Creek Golf Course on Fripp Island, SC. from the back tees, "Black" by myself. When I arrived to hole number 6 I had to walk across a foot bridge to get to the back tee box. The tee marker showed it was a 185 yards to the center of the green. I noticed the pin was in the back middle of a very large green. This was going to be a very difficult shot because there was a very small landing area in front of the green. It was approximately 165 yards with a carry over the marsh and trouble all around except in front of the green. There was a little wind above the tree line running across the marsh. I chose my 185 yard club, 22 degree hybrid 4, Taylor Made Sim Max, teed up my ProV1-392, aimed my shot slightly left of center due to the trouble on the right and set up for the swing. When I hit the shot I saw it hit the left side of the green which appeared to still be a good ways away from the hole. None the less, I was happy to be on the green. When I rode up to the large green I noticed all the undulation and I was thinking I had a monster putt, however, I did not see my ball on the green anywhere. The greens were fast, so I thought to my dismay, perhaps, I had rolled off the back or the left side into the rough. I never found my ball so, with a lot of doubt, I went over to look into the hole and to my extreme surprise there it set. I looked around to try to imagine how the ball could have actually made it into the hole with all the contours of this green, its size, and where the ball actually landed on approach. I immediately drove back to the tee box, took pictures of the tee marker, tee box, a picture of the entire marsh in front of the green, and then a picture of the green from the front and from the back facing the tee as well as the ball in the hole. I also started texted my golf buddies sharing the pictures and the experience. This was still quite a feat, and despite it being my second Hole in One, as fate would have it, I was not able to share it with anyone, nor did I actually see it roll in. None the less it was an awesome experience. Thank you, Todd Bennett
