1st Hole in One - Michael L.

I have been a golf nut for 31 years now. The past 7 years due to varying circumstances and 2 young boys I have not been able to golf. Well this year I decided to buy my membership and see if I could even swing a club. So on April 28th, I headed out for my FIRST time playing in 7 years. The first few holes were not pretty to say the least but it started coming back to me. I stepped up to the 8th hole, Par 3 -140 yards with my Cobra Pitching Wedge and my Pro V1 ball. I hit a nice high shot that was just a hair to the left of the flag but since it is an elevated green we could not see where it ended up. As we got to the green my ball was nowhere in sight. I figured it hit and went left off the edge of the green until my dad said there was a nice divot right in line with the pin about a foot from the cup. Well I stopped my walk across the green and went back to the hole to find my ball in the bottom of the cup! I was in shock!! 7 years of not playing and I hit a Hole in one on my FIRST time playing again! My wife was along for the ride and got to enjoy my moment with myself and dad. I am no longer the odd man out in my family, my dad has 2 hole in ones and my younger brother hit a hole in one on the very same hole as me many years ago. This all took place at Gibson Woods Golf Course in Monmouth, IL.
