Today, I decided to hit up the local municipal course after work. I live in Wisconsin, so any day in early April above 50 degrees must be taken advantage up. My plan at the course was simple. Hit some balls on the driving range and putting green, then see if the pro shop could sneak me out for a quick 9 holes. I was paired with two others, Justin and Jake.

Hole 4 was a par 3 (they were all par 3's) sitting at about 99 yards. Flat, basically no wind, and a front pin location. I grabbed my trusty 56-degree Vokey wedge and took aim. "Go, go, go..." The ball seemed a bit short off the swing but took a big hop off the downslope leading up to the green before slowly rolling and BOOM. My first hole in one. I high-fived my crew and basked in the joy of a hole-in-one before 3-putting the next hole for bogey. Golf is a wonderful game!

I've played golf since I was about 3 years old and today (at 27) I finally got one.
