First Hole In One Wins a Car

My first ever hole-in-one happened while I was golfing in the New Ulm/Sleepy Eye Hockey golf tournament on Friday, July 18, 2014 at the New Ulm Country Club. My first ever hole-in-one became even more memorable because it came on the hole that was sponsored by Jensen Motors and the prize was a 2014 Buick Verano. The hole was #2 and it was playing 175 yards with the pin positioned in the back right corner of the green. I teed up my ProV1 and hit my 8 iron directly at the pin. The ball landed about 6 feet past the hole with just enough spin on it to get it rolling back towards the hole. Once we saw the ball rolling back towards the hole we started to get a little excited. All I remember saying to the ball was "disappear, disappear." When the ball did disappear things turned into a blur. I remember yelling really loud, I threw my hat in the air, my club in the air, I ran around and hugged and high-fived all the guys on my team and the two people who were on the hole to verify any hole-in-ones. I almost couldn't believe that I actually hit a hole-in-one but then to win a car, that was just unbelievable. It was easily the greatest moment in my golf career. I even got my picture on the front page on the local newspaper. http://www.nujournal.com/page/content.detail/id/551102/
