While playing with the legendary golfer, Roman Sotela Alfaro, Rock and Roll performer at Pasitiempo in Tamarindo, Costa Rica and WHO consultant and Scott Biernat, winner of the Hacienda Pineilla monthly scramble and security consultant, both excellent tour players, I made a hole-in-one on Feb. 28th, 2022.
I hit a 6-iron, which sailed magnificently into a rather strong wind, with approximately 5 feet of cut, whereupon it bounced twice and then went clank, into the hole.
These great players noticed it before I did because their eyes are slightly better, but on that one hole only, their swings weren’t.
My hit took place on the 7th hole, which was playing 132-yards into a strong wind.
The club’s website says the seventh hole, rated at par-3, has a water element guarding its back side and two sand traps guarding the front.
I wouldn’t say who won the game because it would be seen as bragging.
Anyway, there’s a lot of chatter about it, quite exciting, and people everywhere seem to be asking for the facts. Playing with that group of wonderful, talented players was a lot of fun. The match was three way for “Micheladas”. I won’t tell you who won because I am a very modest individual, and you will then say I was bragging—and I don’t like people who brag!”
