AFTER PLAYING GOLF ON AND OFF FOR SOME 53 YEARS, I SCORED A HOLE IN ONE!! I HAD BEGUN TO THINK I WOULD NEVER GET ONE SO IF YOU HAVEN’T GOTTEN YOURS YET, DON’T GIVE UP. I USED A PITCHING WEDGE ON THE 116 YARD HOLE AND THE BALL WAS ON LINE, BUT I COULDN’T SEE IT LAND AS THE PIN WAS BEHIND A BUNKER. ARRIVING AT THE GREEN THERE WAS NO BALL VISIBLE, SO I LOOKED IN THE TRAP AND AFTER SEEING NOTHING THERE, I NOTICED A BALL MARK ABOUT 2 FEET SHORT OF THE PIN, SO I TOOK A PEEK AND THERE IT WAS. PARDON MY EUPHORIA (I think that means excitement), BUT YOU GOLFERS UNDERSTAND I AM SURE.
ANOTHER UNEXPECTED THING ALSO HAPPENED. I WAS PLAYING IN OUR REGULAR WEDNESDAY GROUP AND WE WERE IN THE SECOND GROUP OF THE THREE GROUPS PLAYING TODAY. A MEMBER OF THE FOURSOME BEHIND US ACED THE SAME HOLE!! TWO ACES IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES. IT WAS ALSO HIS FIRST JUST ANOTHER GREAT DAY ON THE GOLF COURSE. LIFE IS GOOD.
