I have been a member since 2020 with a lot of close calls but zero HIOs prior.

The day started off coming to the club to head to the simulator with a buddy. In the parking lot, Bill asked me if I would be their 4th for a game. With little hesitation I said sure, but I am only good for 9. Rough start with a double on one, and a par on the par 5 second.

3rd hole playing 155 yards, to a back left pin, playing a Titleist Pro V1 Number 6. 8 iron, beautiful draw (romey sling as the boys would say), one hop and in the hole. Green was pretty frozen, somehow got a soft bounce.

My first hole in one was 21 years ago in a high school tournament.

Playing partners were Bill Donaldson, Pat Donaldson and Rich Berman.

Shot even 35 on front with 2 bridies and the eagle (hole in one), 41 back to finish with a 76, five over par.
