After 37 Years, 1st Hole in One
By Frank F On February 6, 2018
I am a 5.1 index player, 66 years old and I play at Trophy Club, right between Dallas and Ft. Worth, about 10 miles north of DFW. Today, I was playing the Hogan course, which is the only course ever designed by Ben Hogan. It was about 50 degrees with a 20 mph wind. The eighth hole was playing 170 yards over a pond to a pin on the upper tier. I used a Taylor Made Razer Blade 5 iron and hit my Titleist Pro V1 #4 to about 20 feet below the hole and it tracked up the slope and right into the cup. I have had many shots over the years end up within an inch or two, but they never went in. Back in March of 1997, I hit a Titleist DT, also a #4, with a 4 iron 187 yards into the hole for a double eagle. I honestly thought I might not ever have an Ace to join my double eagle, but today it happened.
