First Ace at Sea N' Air Coronado
By Tyler M On 10 June 2015
Sea N Air Golf Club on Coronado Island in San Diego, CA. I'm about an 8 handicap, but don't track it regularly. Never had an Ace before, and in all honesty, haven't really had many close calls. Luckily, I had my dad with me on Sunday. He taught me everything I know about the game and has been chasing a hole in one for over 30 years without any luck.
#13 is a 161 yrd par 3 from the white tees, plays a bit up hill, but with the wind. I pulled an 8 iron (735 CMs) and struck it pure. Slight draw landed 8 feet short left of the hole, on the down slope past the left hand bunker. The ball took one hop, and rolled with good pace hitting the stick dead center and dropping in. Couldn't have planned it any better! I started jumping around and losing my mind while the rest of the group questioned whether it really had fallen.
Best feeling anyone can have on the links.
