I don’t even know where to start.
All weekend I’ve been riding the high of my first ever Hole in One!
A sweetly struck 8 iron to a 172yd pin (downhill) hit the front edge of the green and seemed to trickle down forever and pause on the rim. The fellas I was with hesitated in anticipation as it didn’t look like it was going too and then… it dropped.
The elation I felt was incredible. The boys were going crackers, the chaps from adjacent holes all popped over to shake my hand (along with placing their drinks order haha).
On getting back to the clubhouse, not a surprise to see people had hung around for the free tipple but the a class touch from the chairman and the head pro, they greeted me into the clubhouse to a round of applause from all and thankfully mentioned the insurance to pay the bar bill! Needless to say, a good few whiskeys and beers were supped and the memory will never ever leave me. Absolutely on cloud nine! I also found out from the chairman that it is the 1st hole in one at my club since 21st May 2019.
It just reminded me why we all play this game, we’re worlds away from the pros but it’s a social sport to be enjoyed on the most part but mainly of heartache and missed opportunities. But, just but, every now and again dashed with a spot of magic that’s keeps up coming back to tee up time and time again.
I love this game.
Until I shank it on the 1st next week!
