If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there does it make a sound?

I posed this famous question to myself today on the course regarding a shot I had. It was a small 125yd downhill par 3. I hit a high PW shot that hit the green and rolled about 6 inches from the cup.

Since I was golfing by myself and the course was not busy today the first thing that went through my mind as the ball was rolling towards the cup was..."if this ball goes into the cup, I'm the only one that's going to see it." Since I was by myself and the closest group was easily 5 holes back my hypothetical celebration would have gone unnoticed.

So if you hit a hole in one and you are the only one that sees it, did it really happen?
