It was "Hard Pin Day" at LaGrange Country Club in LaGrange, Il. on a beautiful Saturday, October 3, 2013. The pin was placed on the left edge of the 8th green on the par three 175 yard hole which leans into a deep swale we have affectionately labeled "The Consuelo".

On this day I pulled my Titleist CB 710 5 iron from my bag and let loose. The ball landed 2 feet to the front and right of the pin and rolled with the swale and into the cup. I could not see the ball go into the cup but each of my foursome did. Yes, the hole in one was a special moment for me but the most moving part was that my foursome consisted of two good friends Jeff Grimes and Tom Hill but also my son, Brett Suchy. While I may never get another hole in one again, it was very special that I was with my son.

It is moments like this that make golf such a great game!
