I have been playing golf for 55 years and have been a single-digit handicap for most of that time. I had never had a hole-in-one and had about given up. On July 9, 2014 playing with the Senior Men's Group at Autumn Ridge Country Club in Fort Wayne, Indiana it happened on the 11th hole. It was playing 150 yards and I hit a 7 iron. I hit it really well and it started on line, but with the glare of the sun, we could not see it land. As we were driving up to the green I could not see it on the green, and thought that as solid as I hit it, maybe it went over the green. As we got closer, I saw a ball mark about 6 feet short of the pin and knew that if it was mine, I was in the hole. It was!
