1st hole in one on the 1st time playing The Mines
By David O On 22 August 2014
We were playing The Mines Golf Course in Grand Rapids for the first time. My grandpa and I were paired up with two other guys from the local college. That round was not going very well, as I was not striking the ball like have had my previous rounds that week. Until we came to the 131 yard par 3 #7. The tee box is raised above the green so I used my sand wedge and finally hit a solid shot. The ball was on a line to the hole right from the start. It landed about a foot behind the hole and spun back for my first hole in one. Then I almost had 2 in one round. One the par 3 #15. This time a up hill shot from 115 yards. Again with my sand wedge, my shot landed about a foot and a half behind the hole and came back to less than a inch from rolling in. Just too bad the rest of my shots from that round could not have been like those two shots.
