hole-in-ones November 20, 2006, 12:19 am

by Robert I. Best
My wife was at a baby shower so I went out to play a round of golf. I was playing by myself until the 5th. hole where I caught up with this nice couple, Jim and Pia Molloy. They asked if I wanted to join them and I did. When we got to the 16th hole which has an uphill green where you cannot see the back where the hole was located it was my honors to tee off. The hole is 137 yards and the wind was blowing in our faces. I took out my #5 Hybrid, which was a fairly strong club to be using, and teed off. It hit right of the pin and then we could not see it because of the elevation of the green. Then Jim and Pia teed off. When we got to the green there were 2 balls on the green so I thouhjt I had hit it over becuse of the club I had chosen. I grabbed my wedge and putter and started to look for my ball. I could not find it so I looked in the hole and there it was. I could not believe it. My first hole-jn-one. We all celebtated, it was great. This should be the end of the story but it gets better. 45 days later my wife and I went out to play a round of golf and when we got to the same hole I pulled out the same club and hit another hole-in-one. This time the flag was in front and I saw the ball fall in the hole so now my wife got to see me hit a hole-in-one. End of story? No. On 11/07/2006 my wife and I went out to play the last round of golf for this year and I hit another one on a different hole. As soon as I hit the ball I called to my wife and told her this might be a good one. It hit in front of the green bounced once and rolled into the hole. I am 60 years old and got 3 hole-in-ones in 1 year. UNBELIEVABLE !!! How many other people have hit 3 or more hole-in-ones in a season? Thanks

However you like. If I were to ever hit one, I'd probably name it.
