37 Years to an Ace
By Christopher W On April 6, 2012
Today, I played my first round of golf in two years after injury/financial absence. Coming back from the wrist injury two weeks ago, I have been striking the ball very well on the range. Today was the big day - the first round. I was driving the ball very well but my iron play was scratchy. Then came the 8th hole - a 150 yard par 3 that is a perfect 7 iron distance for me. I struck the ball and it was dead on line. I thought it was a little hot but a playing partner said it never went past the pin. He said "i think it went in", and I thought "no way". He drove up in the cart while I walked behind. He walked up on the green and pointed down in to the hole and I raised my hands to the air and shouted a good Hallelujah! My first ace, and I went on to shoot a 76. Today was a great golf gift.
