45+ years and so close, so many times, until today. Timber Pointe Golf Club, Poplar Grove, IL. Hole #5. White tees, 151 yd, par three, up hill. Middle/front pin behind front bunker. Added 5 yards for the up hill shot. 7 wood...i am 63. Pro V1 and hit it high, right at the pin. There is a small rise after the bunker, so we never saw the ball land. We drove around and didn't see the ball on the green. I thought it probably carried to the back bunker, but my partner thought it was in the hole. I walked over to the hole and by golly there it was. Wow!!
