My hole in one the hardest possible one at the National

It was a blustery and challenging day, like any other day at the National Golf Club but harder. We were playing off the blacks on medal day and I had a score going. The boys were chatting away as I stepped up to the 200 meter par three, 9th. It was into the wind and uphill so I was actually thinking about hitting three wood. The typical bounce at the front of the green is usually a good one so I stuck with me 19 degree Titleist hybrid. I nailed my ProV1x with a beautiful snap swing and it landed short of the hole and a bit right with a draw. The ball kicked forward and left and tracked right on the hole. From the tee I couldn't see it go in but the guy beside me, Tommy said it went it -how would he know, he's a foot shorter than me. I did the casual walk up with butterflies in my stomach and sure enough -it was in! I'll never forget that feeling of looking down into the hole and seeing my ball -I can summon that moment up anytime and it makes me smile. My girlfriend was surprised that I called her first to tell her, she said "What about your 100 golfing buddies?" I simple said -they're next!
