I've been playing golf for 30 years and had been close but never carded an ace. On May 22nd I made my first ace from 171 yards on a downhill par 3 at my home course. Then on May 31st I knocked in another one on a short 111 yard par 3 on a different course…
The pin was 145 yards away, tucked behind a bunker on the right. To carry the bunker was 136 yards, and my 8 iron can’t carry that bunker but my 7 iron had been going over 145 yards lately. So, I tee’d the ball up and hit a smooth swing with my 7 iron…
Playing par 3 7th at Uphall Golf Club.
Tee shot into a blind green playing 146 approx. to middle of green with a helping wind. T100s pitching wedge, seen it bounce once and looked like it could be good.
Optimistically checked hole first thinking it…
I just returned from Bandon and had my first hole-in-one at Pacific Dunes #10! Once in a lifetime trip and a fantastic memory!
128 uphill, 48 degree wedge, AVX, first hole in one ever!
