May 19th 9:00am, Thomson Golf Club in
North Reading, Ma. Hole #7 par 3, 158yds up 5 and into a puff of wind. Playing the 620mb 7 iron, hit a push draw under the wind, playing it off a hill green-side. It took the right bounce, rolled to the cup, and disappeared! Playing with great friends that immediately said they thought it went in. I didn’t want to get my hopes up too high, but sure enough, found it at the bottom of the cup. My first Ace in over 30yrs of playing the greatest game in the world… and yes, I did bogey the next hole.
