I have been playing golf since I was 12 and have hit thousands of shots. This past Sunday, I finally got my first hole-in-one while playing a round at Heddles Hideaway in Spartanburg, SC. The 12th hole is a nice downhill Par 3 that measures about 128 yards to the center of the green. The pin on Sunday was in the back left corner so I decided to use a 7 iron and swing easy. When I hit the ball, it was on line right away, and I knew it had a chance. A few seconds later, the ball landed a few feet in front of the hole, bounced twice, and landed in the cup! I couldn't believe it! I raced down the hill with my club in my hand, looked in the cup, and saw the ball in there! It's truly an amazing feeling that I will never forget!
