    It is a surreal feeling when you hit your first HIO; I hit a Titleist 3 Velocity ball with my 6 iron at #17 TPC Treviso Bay in Naples FL into the wind, over water, into the sunset and all carry to the green. After I hit it, I looked up and was blinded by the sunset. My partner shouted that it looked like it was going in the hole. The other 3 players in my foursome were either in the bunker or missed the green. So when we pulled up to the green in our carts, I walked up to the green and started looking for my ball. There were no balls on the green. My partner said to check the cup. I hesitated and thought to myself, what if it is not in there or what if it was? I could not believe my eyes when I saw the ball in the cup! At 66 years young, I would equate the feeling to first meeting my wife or when my kids and grandkids were born!

    On 14th December 2024, I participated in a sponsored Golf Tournament at Nanyuki Sports Club in Kenya and Simba Motors Corporation had sponsored Holes 9 & 18 with a Brand New Pronto X70 SUV for a Hole in One. Our course is a nine hole and so greens number 9&18 are the same. There was a turnout of over 60 golfers and all gunning for the HIO.
    My three-ball team was second from last and on the 18th Tee my partner Kuldip Hunjan was the first to hit and his ball went into the sand bunker. I was next to hit and took a 3 wood and hit a Titleist Trufeel Yellow Ball and landed in the 18th green. The ball rolled all the way to the hole. the distance is 204 yards and so we couldn't see clearly the pin though my partners, Kuldip and Retired Maj Gen Waweru intimated that they reckon the ball has gone into the hole. Our local Pro was near the Clubhouse, and we saw him walk to the green and started indicating to us that the ball had indeed gone into the hole. The whole lot of people who were at the Club Pavilion came to the Green and the SUV started indicating flashing lights. It was indeed a memorable moment for me since that was my very first HIO after more than 25 Years of playing golf more special was the prize and the fact that it was just before Christmas. My Christmas came early. My family are overly excited with the win.
