Hole in One

[wacker]

I never thought it would happen, but on 5th January 2023 and approximately 12.30pm I got my first, and possible last hole in one. I have been close sooo many times, even hitting the flag, and the ball rolling over the hole, but this time it went in. It was a par three on the course I am a member of, and it is a blind hole. I could see the top of the flag, and I knew the ball would be close. I jokingly said to my playing partners "I will be disappointed if that isn't a hole in one". They both took their shots, and whilst both of them put their balls on the green, it was obvious neither were close to the hole. We walked to the green, but my ball wasn't visible. My first thoughts were it may be in a bunker, as there were two fairly close to the pin. My playing colleague walked to the flag and said "well, you're not going to be disappointed". It was bash, and as a result I won £18, however, the bar bill was £32. The ball and the scorecard have been retired now. 😀

Congratulations!

Congrats! That bar bill feels like you got off pretty inexpensively, so… another cause for celebration! 😄

There were only 9 of us in the bash. During the summer it would have been more than 20, so not too bad.

Super!

Too bad you couldn't see the ball go in the hole. But in the end, it doesn't matter. You've got a story to tell: my ball was nowhere to be found until my buddy looked in the hole... and there it was!

Congrats - have been close but never close enough to warrant a bar tab!

Congrats!!!👏 I've had 3 aces and only saw one of them go in the hole.  Don't ever say you won't get another.  Keep hittin' 'em straight and Lady Luck will surely smile on one of them!!!
