HOLE IN ONE

No you fools, not me.

My father, after playing golf for about 20 years has scored his first hole-in-one. He did it on a new course (for him) on the 9th hole which was a par-3, 160ish meter long hole. He thought his ball had rolled off the green but when he couldn't find it decided as a joke to check the hole. And there it was.

So even though you don't know this blog exists, congratulations dad! Thanks for getting me addicted to this game right before I started having children. Thanks a bunch. Really. That's why every time we play I will kick your ass even though you have a handicap of 11 and mine never went below a 13.

*I will need to update this later with all the details about how and where my father plays golf. It's quite an amusing story.

My Dad played for forty years before he made a hole-in-one. Of course, he got another one a month later.

I had 2 hole in ones in the same season, less than a month apart from each other. I was 16 at the time. I wasn't that good then and I'm probably terrible now as I haven't played in 2+ years. Still, I'll never forget those shots. The 1st one I saw 1 hop into the hole. The other one was on an incline so I did the same as your pops...thought it rolled off the green and looked for it for probably a full minute before my buddy told me it was in the cup. Woot!
