First "One" after 48 years of trying
By dick m On 20 October 2016
First Hole-in-One today, October 18, 2016 at Pine Lakes in Rockford, TN. Used a 7 iron from 140 yards on hole#2. My Titleist Pro V1 hit just past the cup, jumped forward, and spun back into the hole. I was playing in my weekly Tuesday golf league event and will take home the Hole-in-One pot which will cover my greens fees for a long time... Just 2 years ago almost to the day, I completed chemo-radiation treatment at MD Anderson for stage IV throat cancer. I am very thankful to still be able to play and enjoy golf - hopefully for many years to come! -Dick McCord Maryville, TN
