Celebrated my birthday the day prior to our weekly skins game. Approached hole 17 without any skins or greenies. One of my playing partners hit and had a solid greenie chance. I tested the wind and opted for a lower flight, so i grabbed my 6 iron for the 164 yard shot. After a practice swing, I aimed directly at the pin - I normally play like Bubba Watson, hitting it straight is boring lol. The ball left traveling directly to the pin, across the creek and hit the green softly and disappeared in the cup.

A celebration erupted, my playing partners cheering just as loud as I was until they realized that I would be the first to collect a standing bet that had not been claimed in 16 years. A $10 hole in one payout from each player!

What a great day to start out year 58!
