A Shot to Remember

A Shot to Remember

The weather was perfect that Friday afternoon; the sun was out and it was about 68 degrees F. My golf buddy Jun and I was not about to let this day pass without playing golf, after all it seemed as if winter would never end in Chicago. We were enjoying the day on the course and caught up with two golfers (Jeff and Pete) ahead of us and eventually played as a foursome. I made par on Par 5, 6th hole of George Dunne Golf Course. I teed off first having the honor do so. I pulled out my 6-iron cally RAZR-X and the ball I've been using since the first hole, a Titleist 3, ProV1-392, right on top of my tee. I swung and hit the ball with an almost effortless swing, like a hot knife cutting butter. As I looked up, I saw the ball flying in the perfect path, going over the bunker, rolling slowly towards the flag. As the ball continued to roll in slow motion, our jaws dropped and simultaneously we started shouting “Go!” Our voices were getting louder, drawing attention to our group but we continued to shout, “In! In! In!” With the wind behind it, the ball kept on rolling and rolling, and finally, it went in. We just witnessed a Hole-in-One, an experience coveted by most, if not all golfers, and I had the pleasure of making it. Thank you Lord!
