I'm sure Garth will be by soon with his red pen to correct my grammatical errors!

Better:

I (subject) took (verb - simple past) one (adj.) shot (direct object) off the Wilson (prepositional phrase) that was memorable (relative clause). It (subject) ended up (verb phrase) back (indirect object) near the mound (prepositional phrase).

Don't ask how I know.
