Lost My Virginity

[Neillbro]

Hi there,
I have been a member for a few yrs now and as you might see, I am a watcher rather than a poster. But I felt that I had to share with you all how I lost my golf cherry today.

Myself and my best mate, you might know him as Delb, were playing a round of golf on our new home course. haddington GC in East Lothian, yes we are a hardy bunch up here in Scotland!, I was playing not to badly considering the near 30 mph winds, having scored 18 stableford points on the front nine and 7 for the first 4 coming home when Derek and I stood on the 14th tee, We were faced with a 117yrd shot into the teeth of the wind. I decided to hit a 3/4 7 iron and it flew straight as an arrow, pitching 5 ft beyond the pint and then proceeding to screw back and into the hole. OMG what a feeling it was and still is)) I can die a happy man now.

Neillbro.

Well done, fella.

I'm still a 40+ year old virgin then.

'Twas a thing of beauty, mate! Was calculating in my head at the time whether or not you'd hit the right club and to see it fly straight at the pin and then take what seemed to be an age to drop was just brilliant! To then walk up to the green and see how far it had rolled back was just amazing!!

Was great to be jumping about again like a pair of dafties only a matter of a few months after my own ace. Enjoy the feeling.

Well done fella, I know the feeling.
I'll probably never have another, but I'll never forget the one I've had.
