My First Hole In One by Robert Mutch

From tee to passed the green is water hazard. Deep long bunker also just right of pin. lazer showed 160 yds to target. I hit the sweet spot of my club and it had a perfect draw to the hole. All four of us saw it land just in front of the pin, it bounced once and then we could not see it. Ian said 'that it is in the hole!'. I thought maybe it was downslope after the pin. Evan hit his shot whilst we were chomping at the bit in the cart. We raced up there and I was still in denial. It was a good sized green and I could not see my ball, only the other player's balls. I ran to the hole, saw the landing mark about 2 ft in front of the pin. Then i saw my ball in the hole looking back at me. The funny thing is that it was a used Titleist Pro V1 that Ian had given to me on that tee as he did not want it. So I replied, 'ok, I will hit it!'. This is may first ACE of course. I shot a 77. Went to the bar and bought drinks, luckily it only cost me $55. I went home and told my wife that I got a 1 (ACE) on the 17th.
