Hole in one during a tournament
By JOE H On 13 January 2014
This was the Alamo City Golf Trail Tournament Series in San Antonio. 185 yd par 3, tough pin location, back right corner. Green was elevated about 10 ft so I didn't actually see in go in.
Used my 6 iron, 712 AP2. Set up for a slight fade and hit a pure shot. The group I was playing with said "I think I saw the flag rattle", I thought he was joking, and when I didn't see the ball on the green, I assumed I went over. We walked up, looked in the hole, and well...the rest is history.
I golf so much by myself that I was terrified that my first Ace would be when I didn't have any witnesses. I'm glad I was able to do it during actual tournament play. Officials said it was the first in tour history.
