Joseph said:  I didn't see the ball go in the hole it was the reaction of the people behind the green who yelled the loudest. I walked to the green picked my ball out of the hole and someone yelled out "what club did you use" I replied "my putter".

Manu said:   I felt the ball leave the club face "sweet" I watched the ball fly from where I was standing "go baby go" and then the guys behind the green yelled "it's in, it's in" I walked to the green looked inside the hole and I  couldn't contain my smile it was from ear to ear and yes, "I too used my putter".
