A little late sharing since I kept forgetting to post this, but 2 months later the thrill of getting my first Hole-In One hasn't worn off.

I started golfing 2 1/2 years ago at age 62 and I'm blessed to be able to play several times a week at my local country club which has quickly increased my skill level. This par 3 green is elevated 12 degrees where you can't see the green, just the flag. When I struck my Pro V1 with my 8-iron, it flew straight, but it felt like it was going to hit short and roll long since the trajectory of the flight was a little flat. My wife immediately said, "That's going in the hole." I doubted her.

As we rolled up to the green I looked around for my ball and didn't see it feeling certain that it rolled long and into the rough beyond the green. My wife immediately jumped out of the cart and straight to the hole yelling, "IT'S IN THE HOLE, IT'S IN THE HOLE!" I was thrilled, the twosome we were with were thrilled, the group ahead of us could here the commotion and my wife made sure to tell them all about it when we caught up to them on the next hole, LOL. The only bummer was that we didn't get to see the ball roll into the hole because of the elevated green. And by the way, thankfully, I didn't have to buy any drinks because the club charges us a minimal monthy fee for "hole-in-one" insurance. Thank you Titleist for the bag tage and honoring us with this forum!
