First hole in one after 55 years of playing golf
By Bill H On August 15, 2011
I have several friends I played golf with for many years. Since I was the eldest and began having health problems, I started playing less and less till I finally stopped altogather.
Recently, I have been working out and feeling better so occasionally, I started playing golf with my two sons. I finally got good enough that I thought, why not give it a shot and go play with the old gang and see how it goes.
Sunday Morning bright and early at 6:54am we teed off. There were 5 of us. It was like old times except for the fact that they all still shot scores in the 70s.
I was no match for their skill level but hey you gotta have a few coin on the line. Well, it went as I expected, I still could hit some decent shots but I was sponsering the party until we reached the 16th hole, a par 3 148 yards. They all hit shots more or less surronding the pin when at last I hit my 5 iron flush, right at the pin. It bounced once and rolled streight into the hole!!
The round cost me a few bets plus many beverages of there choice but well worth my first hole-in-one!
