Great way to start the season

First time out for the year and it was a windy, relatively warm day to be the last day of January in Kentucky. On hole 14 I hit a ball and then commented to my fellow players that I thought that it was a good shot, but since this green is elevated above the tee box, I didn't know how good. When we reached the green, I didn't see my ball and thought that I had gone long, but after being unable to find it, I looked in the cup and there it was. My first hole-in-one after 40 years of golf.
