October 7 2014 Brothers Hole In One

October 7 2014 Brothers Hole In One

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.
