First Hole-in-one. Arsenal Island Golf Course Rock Island Illinois. Beautiful Memorial day Monday, nice round playing fairly well on my home course with a couple of friends. Course is a military base designed in 1897 on an island in the middle of the Mississippi river between Iowa and Illinois with a rich history and stately buildings as well as a national cemetery across the road from the course (rows of white marble markers) very humbling place to play. The round was filled with patriotic music and large artillery rounds being fired for the Memorial Day activities. Hole 17 150 yards playing up at 141 (signature hole) with an American flag pin flag which is only placed on patriotic holidays.  i10 9 iron to the center of the three tiered green with the ball mark three feet in front of the pin, the ball made one hop and went in the cup on the fly (Titleist NXT Tour). It was a great day with some great friends at a great place not soon to be forgotten.
