so two days ago we teed off for 45 holes at Rams Hill golf club in Borrego Springs, California. it was my good buddies birthday, and I always have a good track record of shooting well on his birthday for some reason. So Hole 10 of 45 was a slight downhill par three and I zapped the flag at 178 yards. I was the third man in our 4some to tee off. I grabbed my six iron and aimed for the back of the bowl right of the pin. I have many horror stories of the ball nestling up inches away for a hole-in-one, but I’ve never had one. So this ball was struck perfect for what I needed for the ball to work down left to the pin. I’m watching the ball roll towards the pin, but not expecting anything like what happened. As it gets closer and closer, I keep thinking it has a chance and it happened. Drops in for the ace. Everyone in my group starts shouting and excitement as I keep looking at the green and disbelief And with no reaction after shooting two over on the front nine. The first words that came out of my mouth were “ back to even” . I was very calm the entire time. crazy right? As I walked up to the hole, that’s when it really hit me that I did it. Years of playing golf, and finally having one fallen for me just gave me a big sigh of relief and a huge weight off my shoulders. grabbed my Titleist 97 pro V1 and had the biggest smile on my face. I called my father and told him the good news and telling him thank you for showing me this beautiful game years ago. they always say the hardest swing is the swing after a hole-in-one, but I don’t think it was the case for me because on the next hole par 5, I smoked the drive 300 down the middle. almost reached the green two landing in the green side bunker and lipping out from the bunker for eagle but made birdie. Validated the hole in one with a birdie was almost just as good as making the hole-in-one as it freed me up the rest of the day and I had a great round and an awesome day. I’ve been loyal to Titleist pro V1 balls for years now and I don’t think that will ever change.
