This is why I play the game...

Saturday I played in a tournament at the Cedars at Dungeness in Sequim Wa with my FIL and another father/son combo.  I normally shoot in the low-mid 90s, so making the turn at 46 I was feeling pretty good.  I string together a couple of pars, nothing worse than a bogey until the 17th.  145 or so par 3, FIL goes first, water to the left, his shot hits to the left of the pin, and rolls off the green into the first cut.  I'm up next, and aim just a little right of the flag.  I hit my shot, and it looks okay, hits the green and takes a turn right towards the stick.   Starts rolling, and then disappears into the cup.  My first Hole In One.  Finish with a 40 on the back, for a 86, which is just dandy.  Our team wins the best ball part of the tournament, I win the low net, and of course win the KP on that hole(sadly, all of that money went to playing partners beverages).  All the rest of the weekend I just wanted to go out and try to replicate that on a course.  I go from not looking forward to league to wanting it to be every day in the span of about 13 seconds.

Good golf shots are addictive.  Congrats on the single.  It's a fun achievement. My wife who's a 36 hcp has one.  I have none. But I've shot under par before. I'm happy with that!  Keep swinging.  Those 80 somethings will come more often the more you play.

Just kidding.  Congratulations on the ace.  Since I am still waiting for mine, you are officially dead to me.
