The scene: My regular grudge match against the local PGA pro. I’ve beaten him two rounds in a row and won the front nine convincingly. He’s got a putt on #16 to save par, possibly win $2.00 and have some bragging rights. This putt is about a 3-4 footer. I’m closer for par.
They say that golf brings out a person’s inner personality… He somehow misses and throws a fit, throwing his putter up in the air and slamming his hat on the ground. He didn’t realize his $200 Maui Jims sunglasses were on his hat. His putter hits the ground, his hat bounces toward the hole, and his Maui Jims split in two.
Being the opportunist I am, I always carry my camera. I snapped the picture below, which couldn’t have been set up better intentionally. I wait for him to clean up his mess, then I calmly walk up and drain my dagger-in-the-heart putt.
Pictured below from top to bottom: The ball, the hole, his hat, my ball marker, his putter, the right half of his sunglasses, the left half of his sunglasses.

A hole in one is amazing when you think of the different universes this white mass of molecules has to pass through on its way to the hole.

haha classic! And nice HOGB poker chip ball marker
It’s no fun to play with people that can’t control their temper but since you play often with this pro I bet it’s very rare for him to do something like that - eventually it’s bound to happen to everybody.
Hey, nice job making your putt just to rub salt on it
