I achieved two hole in ones playing at Riverbend Country Club in Tequesta Florida, on March 12th and March 26th. The first on March 12th was on Hole 15, 144 yards from the white tee, where I used an #5 hybrid. The second on March 26th was on Hole 18, 112 yards from the white tee where I used a 9 iron. These were the first hole in ones that I have ever achieved in my life.

My First Hole in One on March 12th I was playing 18 holes on March 12th with my golf partner Mike Hoffman. When we approached the 15th tee box at around 1:15 in the afternoon, I noticed that the 15th pin was directly behind the sand trap to the left of the green. I tee’d off with my 5 hybrid and aimed for the right side of the green to avoid the sand trap. It was a nice hit and once it was airborne, it started to hook to the left and landed on the green. As soon as it did it started to roll towards the pin. It kept rolling, and I commented to Mike, “Look! The ball is still rolling!”. Finally, it disappeared and I assumed it had rolled off the green to the left. As we approached the elevated green, I did not see my ball anywhere on the green and assumed that in fact, it had rolled down into the steep gulley on the left hand side. Mike and I proceeded to search for the ball in that area bit we could not find it. I commented, “I can’t believe that I have lost the ball on such a great drive!” Since we had another group waiting on the 15th tee box, we felt a little rushed to finish, so assuming my ball was now lost, I dropped another ball and chipped up to the green. Meanwhile, while I was doing this, Mike had putted onto the green and finished the hole by putting out. As he did so, he looked into the cup to retrieve his ball, and noticed that there was another ball in there. He said to me, “Did you play a srxn?” I responded, “Yes.” At that point Mike said, “You just hit a hole in one!”. I could not believe, and responded, “Holy Cow!!” This was the first hole in ones that I have ever achieved in my life!. Thank you Riverbend! The Second Hole in One - Two weeks later on March 26th

I achieved a second hole in one two weeks after the first one on Riverbends’ Hole 18, 112 yards with a 9 Iron. The pin was at the front of the green. I hit a high shot heading straight for the pin, The ball bounced at the edge of the green and rolled towards the pin and we saw it drop in. My reaction was “I can’t believe this happened again!”. There are a lot of people here at Riverbend with handicaps that are half of mine, who have been playing golf for a lot longer and more frequently than I, who have never achieved a single hole in one. The fact that I have a high handicap and have achieved this two times in two weeks still amazes me. Thank you Titleist!
