I’ve been golfing since I was 14 and I’m not certain I’d really classify many of those years as golf as I was more of a hacker. It wasn’t until the last couple of years when I began working with a golfing mentor and began playing a lot more golf so I definitely have been able to upgrade equipment and just all around golfing knowledge. 2 years ago my first round of the year I shot a 103 and now I can consistently shoot in the low 70s and I had my first subpar round less than a week ago so I’m starting to find my groove .

My first hole in one came at Hodge Park golf course in Kansas City, Missouri - par 3 - #7 hole. The yardage was 151 yards playing 158 with slope with a pretty strong wind in our face. I was originally going to hit my 6 hybrid and it just felt like there was just more wind than normal so I played my PXG 11 wood and hit a high draw into the green and it hit on the front edge, and the ball kicked left rolling towards the pin. Being an elevated green the hole was a blind, but I knew from previous rounds that I was tracking towards the pin. As we drove up to the Green, we didn’t see my ball on the Green. My initial thought was that I had rolled off and I told my playing partner that I really didn’t think that it was possible because I hit on the front side and that 11 wood really gets the ball high with a lot of spin and stopping power so he said well I’m not gonna jinx you. I’m gonna let you walk up and check it out yourself. As I neared the hole, m heart began to race and as I got to the edge and peaked in and there she was staring at me. I looked over at him and said “dude, it’s in the hole”and he was definitely more excited that I was as I was in kind of like a state of shock. I tried for so many years and I think the biggest difference was fact that I used the Titleist True Feel for the first time. I’d recently played in a tournament where they had given us a sleeve of Titleist True Feels and I had them in my bag and decided to go ahead and give them a shot and I hit them well all day. It was awesome and who knew first time I ever played the True Feel ball for a full round that I would get my first hole in one … pretty amazing experience.
