October 7, 2014 was mens league night at Gladstan Golf Course In Payson, UT. The format was "Red Tee Challenge" meaning everyone plays from the red tees. I started out horrible. bogey, double-bogey, and from the red tees I thought I was wasting a shot at going low. On both holes I was play a brand new Pro V1x, and of the tee on both holes I thought that ball was lost. However I was able to find it every single time. It was almost as if the ball had a calling.
Hole number 12 is a short par 4 from the blue tees, so from red tees it was extremely short. It was also a front pin, so this shortened the hole as well. I knew a 7/8 iron would get me on the green, but I thought that I could possibly fly the green. So I decided to go 9 iron to play save and at best be barely on the green, and at worst just short.
I struck my 9 iron very, very well, and I was using the invincible Pro V1x. The tee shot was blind, so I just knew my line. I didn't hear any landing noise, so I didn't know if I was on green, or fairway. Upon arriving, we couldn't find my ball from the line that it took. We looked around, for a few minutes, and my friend asked if I had checked the cup. My ball flight was opposite from where the pin was located, so I thought, "no way my ball is in the cup." My friend got to the cup first and just started laughing. Very timidly I peaked into the hole and there was the invincible Pro V1x.
I didn't know what to do. I was shocked, amazed, confused, and just appalled at what just happened. After some laughs and pics we continued our round. Only talking about the hole-in-one, and the skin that I won on that hole.
To make this story even better, my brother, who was in the group behind us, aced the same hole as I did. It was the first hole-in-one for both of us.
