I started playing after I retired in 2003 in order to spend more time with my son. At that time there were very few people, at my home course, that walked the course, especially as early as I liked to play. Like most golfers I thought about the possibility of hitting a hole in one, but I thought that, if I ever did, I would not have any witnesses because I played alone so much. On July 5, 2010 I was playing with three friends and the course was so full that there was another foursome waiting behind us as we teed off on the fifth hole at Quail Creek Resort. Each of my friends had missed the green and while my ball was in the air I commented that I was going to go ahead and put mine on the green if no one minded. One of my friends had started walking toward the hole while talking to his wife on his cell phone. My Pro V1 bounced one time and disappeared into the hole! My friend told his wife "I think it went in the hole. I think Jim just hit a hole in one!" None of my friends had ever hit a hole in one nor had they ever been playing with someone that did until that day. The fifth hole is a par three that was playing 144 yards that day and I used a seven iron. On April 24, 2014 I hit my second hole in one on the same hole at the same course!
