Lucky 13
By stephen w On 13 July 2013
My first hole-in-one came on hole 13 at Iron Oaks Golf Club. I was getting a tune up round before playing in a charity benefit tourney the following day. There was a slight headwind with 177 to the pin which was tucked back right. My plan was to hit an aggressive shot but I ended up hitting a slight draw. At first I didn't think the shot was anything special since it was heading to the middle left. The greens were pretty firm with very little bite. There is a quite large hump on the left side so when the ball hit, it released forward and caught the slope and started heading right. I swear it seemed like the ball rolled on that green for an eternity but when it disappeared I couldn't believe my eyes!
