Birthday Gift

It was my birthday, March 19 2010, at Forge Pond. Being late winter at an executive course it was wide open and I was playing alone. The 8th hole is an uphill 165yd shot requiring a little left to right cut. I hit a perfect shot and knew it was close. Of course not seeing the ball on the green I knew instantly it was my 1st hole in one. This is not necessarily the best part of the story being that I was alone and couldn't have it certified.

About 2 months later in May I was again playing alone and this was the very next time I played this course after my birthday game. Coming into the 6th hole a player caught up to me as I was playing more than one ball. So we hooked up and on the long walk between the 7th and 8th hole I was explaining how the last time I played here I had gotten a hole in one on the next hole we were playing. He was a very enthusiastic begginer of the game and was excited for me. So as I hit the ball on the same 8th hole, same pin position, same shaped shot, I exclaimed right then and there "I think it's a hole in one!!!" He's like "Well, we'll see... it's probably close." Being a 30yd uphill shot we couldn't see it. 

Sure as heck it was pinched between the flag and the inside of the hole, so the player I was with, being a super enthused beginner was absolutely freaking out that, not only had he never seen a hole in one, but I actually "called" it. He was more excited than I was I think. But needless to say I not only got another hole in one in back to back rounds at this particular course, on the same hole, but most importantly I got to have it witnessed!!!!!!! Yahooo!!!!!!!
