    After 25+ years of playing this beautiful game of golf, i finally got a hole in one..   It happened last Friday playing in a member/guest tournament at Josh's aka Hotsauce home course Thompson CC.   We were on the 4th hole, a slightly downhill par 3 about 170 yards out..

    Grabbed my 714 AP1 6 iron w/ a ProV1.   Hit the shot as good as I could, right on the sweet spot.   Watched the ball fly nice and high..    Saw the ball land near the hole and made the mistake of turning around after that.   As I turned around to look at the boys, within a few seconds Josh, Mike and Jonesy started jumping and screaming.  I turned back to the green and the ball was gone.  Holy *&^$..  I was shocked and really didn't know how to react.  All I could do was smile...  It finally happened and what a feeling it was....  And it was so great seeing the boys jumping and cheering.. 

    Best.Shot.of.My.Life

    I may add:

    • Don't ask how I played after that
    • This was the first time my wife was actually happy about something that relates to my golf game... haha.. 
    • I filled out the Titleist hole in one story the next morning...
    • I did not buy a round..  With 90+ people playing, no way I could afford that...   Thanks to Mike for buying me a few rounds..

    On to the next one.....

    All I can say is that this was one of the purest shots I've ever seen and I am so happy that I was there to witness it. I still can't believe you turned away before watching the ball drop. :)

    Congrats again, Chris!

    Congratulations Chris!  I remember that hole, that had to be a darn good shot, maybe Mike can tell you more about it sometime - you actually turned away?  It must be nice to pure them so often that you don't need to watch - LOL!  

    We should try to get together sometime this month.
