My name is Christopher Marks, and I recorded my first-ever hole-in-one on Hole 14 at Gannon Municipal Golf Course in Lynn, Massachusetts. The ace came on a 155-yard downhill par 3 while playing my regular course, where I typically play more than eight rounds per month during the golf season. Using a TM M2 9-iron and a Titleist Velocity golf ball, I struck a shot that tracked directly at the flag. The ball disappeared from view as it approached the hole, and when my group arrived at the green, we couldn't find it anywhere. After checking around the green, we looked in the cup and discovered the ball had gone straight in for a hole-in-one. The shot never bounced on the green—it completely dunked into the hole. As a 22.2 handicap golfer, making my first hole-in-one was an unforgettable experience and a moment I will remember for the rest of my life.
