FIRST HOLE IN ONE AT AGE 75

I am 75 years old and have been playing golf for most of 60 years.

Friday nigh, August 23, 2013 I was playing as a sub in a mixed doubles league we used to belong to. (The Dirty Dozen)

The Golf Course is Eldorado in Mason, Michigan

I was not playing particularly well, but not that poorly either.

We came to the 6th hole, a par three 130 yard hole over a pond.

I selected a 6 iron. (you loose distance as you age)

The sun was behind the green so we could not see the entire shot.

The shot was on line with the pin and we did see it hit in front of the pin.

When we arrived at the green I assumed that my ball was the one at the back of the green. I stood by that ball, lining up my putt. Our opponent said "that is my ball, I think you should look in the hole for yours."

My ball was in the hold, just as he suggested.

A very great feeling.
