Took 44 years but I finally did it
By Jim K On 30 September 2011
I've been playing golf since I was 10 years old and had come close to a hole in one many, many times. Finally on September 28 2011 at Goodpark Golf Course in Akron, Ohio it happened. The 9th hole is a long, 202 yard par 3 which was playing 191 yards that day from the white tees. I hit a flush 3 hybrid and it was dead on line with the pin but I thought it was short. It was getting late in the day and we couldn't see the ball after it landed. When I got to the green I was looking all over for it when my partner suggested I look in the hole. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it! Finally, after all these years! What a great feeling and what a great game. I hadn't played particularly well that day, but those are the kind of shots that keep you coming back for more
