Very similar to my crowning achievement in golf

I think it was a 284 yard par 4. Not a tournament, but it was in our company golf league. The annoying part is it took me 15 minutes to find my ball. I never was great at golf, and I lost the ball in the sun and clouds after I hit it. Felt like I hit it pretty well, but couldn't find it in the fairway anywhere. So I'm off in the right hand rough (where I usually was) scouring for my ball. I think I even said out loud the only ball I've seen is the one on the green, but that can't be mine. Out of desperation, I went to check the one on the green and sono***un it was mine. Had about a 12 ft putt for eagle. Of course I missed it. Definitely the only credible putt for eagle I'd ever had, and the only tap-in birdie I can recall. Like I said, never was great at the game. Lucky to break 90 on a not-difficult public course. Ended up giving up the game due to a bad disk in my neck.

With the lack of rain here, I hit a 330 yd drive up onto the green recently

You're not supposed to drive the golf cart on to the green. Shame on you.
