3 ACES IN 55 DAYS

3 ACES IN 55 DAYS

My name is Nate, I am 33 years old, a scratch golfer, and been playing golf ever since I was 9 and before July 27 2014 I had never had a Hole in One! ACE #1 I was playing on my home course in a big 2 man event that I play in every year. I stepped up on hole 5 at Beatrice CC, it was down wind that day, playing about 138 yards, I pulled a 52 degree wedge and struck a Titleist 6 Pro V1x. I knew it was good in the air, the ball landed just left of the hole, hopped forward and spun back right in the hole. All I remember yelling was ITS IN, along with a few other words. There were about 8 witnesses and about 144 golfers on the course that day. Needless to say it was an expensive day, but I didn't care! It was the best feeling I have ever had on the golf course, and I wondered if I would ever feel that way again. ACE #2 Well... A couple months later on Sept 14 2014, I was playing in a tournament at Fairbury CC, not far from my home town. I stepped up on the 5th tee, playing about 177 yards, I pulled a 9 iron and struck a Titleist 8 Pro V1x, again I knew it was going to be close. The ball landed short of the hole, and one hopped right in the Jug! Again I was ecstatic and could not believe it! Much to my surprise... ACE #3 Just 5 days later on Sept 19 2014 I was playing with my regular Friday afternoon group at Beatrice CC. I had literally just answered questions about my second ACE that day on the first tee. We get to the 11th tee, playing about 169 yards that day, down wind, and a friend that lives on the hole was out on the tee congratulating me on my second. Just as I was taking a couple practice swings I told him, "hey better get your camera out and film this" well, he should of! I stepped up, pulled a Pitching Wedge and struck a Titleist 2 Pro V1x, as the ball was in flight I knew it was going to be close and I chuckled and said "oh just do it again!" The ball landed in an aeration hole, cause we just punched the greens that week, just passed the hole and hopped back right in the cup! Another ACE!! I shouted "Did it go in" One of the guys on the 12th tee ran down, looked in the hole and just threw his hands up!! I was in total disbelief! 3 Hole in Ones in 55 days!! The last one was especially special for me because I shared it with my Best Friend Scott that was playing with me that day. It was truly a summer of golf that I will never forget!
