I live in Dallas, TX. My parents were visiting from South Carolina for the 4th of July. My youngest brother and his family were visiting from Alabama. Our foursome was rounded out with my best friend. Not playing my best round and hard to find my swing, we approached our 10th hole (Hole 2 on Stonebridge Ranch CC, The Hills Course). 184yd par 3, water on the left, slight breeze from the right. Pretty much a stock 6 iron for me. When the ball came off the face, almost didn't feel it, as it was pure. Perfect little draw, ball tracking, one hop and then trickled into the hole. We saw it hit but then lost the ball. My best friend said, "that's in the hole". My first thought was...I went long. When we got to the hole, I started looking off the back and didn't see it anywhere. There was one ball in the bunker (just long and right of the hole). I immediately assumed it was mine...a little frustrated, I walked over to the pin and saw a ball in the hole. I was still hesitant to think it was my ball and as I looked closer I could see my little green dot next to the Titleist logo.......that did it, I was silenced (figuratively and literally). I just turned to my partners with a sly grin...then the madness of the celebration began. High fives, jumping on top of my brother, screaming for the whole world to hear. It was amazing. Still, a day after the shot heard around Dallas, it is surreal...can't believe it finally happened. In retrospect, I'm grateful for two reasons: 1) It wasn't a bad shot that just got lucky. It was by far my best swing of the day and I pure'd it...184yd 6 iron that flew exactly as I had envisioned it, not to shabby. It was simply picturesque. 2) I didn't make my first Hole in One with a bunch of fellas I didn't know or cared about. It wasn't in some scramble that I cared nothing about. It was with 3 of my most beloved friends/family. I couldn't have planned it any better (outside of maybe making it on Pebble Beach #7 :) ). What a fantastic moment that I will never forget. Thank you Titleist, I'll never play another ball. Colin B. McLain
