I got my first ace in May at my home course on the 17th hole, and 5 months to the day I got one on the 8th hole. It was playing 194, but with a 20mph wind in my face and about 50 degrees. My drives into the wind were only getting out there about 200-210 anyway, so I hit driver on the hole. The ball hit the top of the flagstick on the fly, wrapped up in the flag, dropped straight down, and bounce into the hole. After 22 years without having one, I now have two. Amazing.
