On the 10th of June 2023, I had my first ever hole-in-1. I am 42 years old and have been playing golf since I was 12, so it's only taken me 30 years!
I am a 13 handicapper who played awfully for the first 4 holes. I was +10 after 4!! I wanted to walk off but I would never do that. I was discouraged with my golf walking onto the 5th tee. The shot at the 5th is to play the right side of the green and let the ball run off the slope to the middle of the green. That's where I aimed; it was the first good shot I hit. The ball landed on the right side of the green and made its way across the green. In my head, I kept thinking that's going to be close but never did I think it would go in. It kept rolling and then it hit the pin and dropped!!
What a feeling!! My first ever ace and I was on cloud 9! My playing partners were ecstatic! The group in front were on the next tee and they were delighted to see it go in. The group behind were on the fairway next to the green and saw it go in as well. I was a legend for a moment!
I message the wife to let her know straight away. She replied "No wonder with the amount of golf you play!"
