Today I hit my first hole in one! My cousin and I are staying in Hopkinsville Kentucky working night shift for CSX railroad replacing crossties on a traveling team. I’ve played golf since the age of 13 and I’ve got close several times to hitting a hole in one, and honestly thought it was never going to happen for me. We tried to wake up as early as we could with the given the work schedule we have right now, and also trying to get our round in before a line of thunderstorms hit. We made it to the short par 4 9th hole playing 290 yards. Last week, I played it with my tsi2 16.5 fairway wood and hit a lower flighted bullet three yards short and right of the green, and I actually chipped in for eagle to finish that round. This week I pulled the same club out and my swing thought was to give it just a little more gas and it should be a perfect number. My cousin hit his tee shot and I tee’d mine up. Off the face it felt pure, the ball started on line with the right side of the green and drew back perfectly towards the pin. We seen the ball as it what looked like was directly in line with the flagstick and didn’t see a bounce. We both looked at one another and said that has a serious chance. We got I. The cart and I asked my cousin if he was going to stop and play his ball and he said, “heck no we’ve got to go see.” We drove up to the green, and I sprinted up the hill the green was on checking the back ridge thinking the ball probably ran through the green. I didn’t see it anywhere past the hole and that’s when it hit me, I’ve finally done it it think! I’ve finally done it! Checked the hole and there was a prov1 sitting in the bottom of the cup!! Of course the celebration then followed!
- I’m so thankful my cousin was there not only to witness it but to always have this memory with each other. I know I’ll never forget it.
As always thanks TT and thank you Titleist for making the best equipment in Golf!
