Off the Bucket List Now

I recorded my first hole in one on 7/7/14 while playing in the Innsbrook Monday Morning League with my three friends, John Hachtel, Don Mrkacek, and Ken Winn (all of us residents of Innsbrook, Missouri).

Playing the 8th hole, a par three, from the white tees on an elevated tee box, the flag was positioned in the middle of the green and to the right. The sun was directly behind the green with a slight wind in our face. The distance on the card is 138 yards. I hit an eight iron solidly and the ball traveled directly at the pin. We all lost sight of the ball in the sun, but assumed it was on the green. As we headed toward the green there was no ball on the green so we agreed that it had rolled off the back. Much to my amazement, we found it in the hole. My partners all removed their hats and I received hand-shakes (no informal fist-bumps here). What a great day!
