At 67 years of age, playing golf for 46 years, and retired one year ago yesterday I got my first hole-in-one using a Titleist NXT Tour.

Playing at Laurel Hill in Lorton Virginia on 21 December 2013 with 3 buddies I used a 4-iron on our #8 223yd hole and hit it sweet and on line. Two bounces and rolled right in the hole. My foursome was so loud others on the course knew someone had a hole in one.

Word spread quickly and when I walked in the clubhouse after finishing our 18 I received an ovation.

My Titleist NXT Tour ball is in a safe place and will be on display for the rest of my life.
