I once played the old City Park (N.O.) West Course EARLY in the morning. The fog was so bad that you could barely see your hand in front of your face. I had played under similar conditions out there but usually by the time you reached the 145 yard, Par 3, Hole 8, the fog had lifted.

Hole 8 was over a pond. The fog was so thick that we had to rely on the group ahead of us to scream back to us to tell us that we could hit the ball. Our foursome hit our balls and just prayed we could find them.

I hit what I thought was a good shot, but I had no clue where it ended up. When we got up to the green, we started searching all around the green for our balls. I was on the green and I still couldn't see the hole (or even where the hole was). When I eventually got closer to the pin, I could see that there was a ball that was literally about 1/10th of the way in the hole and just hanging on the lip. I walked up to the pin and saw that it was my ball.

I almost got the only hole-in-one in my life and I didn't even see it.

I also hit my closest shot to a hole in one this weekend. Ended up about 3” from the cup. Oh well. Maybe one day.
