I had my first hole in one today. Yeah!

It was 174 yards in somewhat cold and windy conditions, with a 5 wood that never left the flag (it was a little left of it when it landed) and rolled in!  Just so we are clear, the 5 wood is my 190-195 yards club, but it was the right club for this job! :dance:

:banana: congrats.

Hovering on one of the award icons beneath another members post, I realized that I qualify for another award. I did participate in the TST outing at Eagle Creek in Norwalk, OH in August of 2016. It was a fun event despite the overcast and the heavy thunderstorms on Saturday. It was kind of a good thing I couldn't make the one club, since it was cancelled.

Broke 80. The badge will encourage me further to go for the par badge because i haven't broken par yet and that'll be a massive achievement for me.

I had a new personal best of 81 on Saturday, 41-40, so that would be for breaking 90. Not quite in the 70s yet but hopefully this summer!

No hole in one in my career but I did have an Albatross on the short par 5 fifth at Tapps Island in Washington State. It's only 443 yds but there's water from 240-260 that forces a layup or a risky attempt with driver. I was feeling good that day and managed to clear the water and stay in bounds. Hit a PW from 150 for my blind second shot over a low hill. My group gets up after 4 good shots but there's only 3 balls on the green. My folks were in town for the Open at Chambers Bay. I know I caught the wedge thin so I'm starting to walk over the green to find the ball when my ever-optimistic mom suggests checking the hole. As I'm politely laughing to myself to not hurt her feelings I hear "Is it a Callaway? There's a Callaway in here." Could have knocked me over with a feather! 

I go by Pat or Patrick. Been called a lot worse so I don't mind either.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
