As the title says a minor miracle happened today and I got it in the hole, as our American cousins are so fond of shouting. It was all the more sweet as it was on the 152 yard 10th which is the signature hole at Moortown in Leeds. Which was designed by Dr Alistair McKenzie. Who also designed Augusta. So I figured out it's a feat of achievement very similar to winning the Masters.
Also more seriously I was playing in 2 4 balls, and in the 4 ball in front of me on the next tee overlooking the green were 4 mates that I have known for around 35 to 40 years since school days. And they all cheered it in, which was great. And a good job as my eye sight is rubbish and I didn't see it drop in, I just thought I'd got it looked quite close but 10 yards short. And they told me it pitched 3 yards or so short and then rolled straight into the middle at a perfect pace. Which of course then later led to questions why I could get it in the hole from 152 yards but manage to 3 put from 20 feet several times. Which was a fair point.
It was a bit surreal as I never thought it would happen to me and I kind of didn't believe it had gone in, as I am pretty rubbish. But we were playing Stableford and I had a shot on that hole, rack them points up
Oh well, that's one item crossed off the bucket list. Best start working on the next one now which involves Kylie and Susanna Read. Which before today I thought was as likely to happen as a hole in 1.
