The story begins when I was 10. Mom and Dad gave me clubs, a bag, and a lesson for my birthday. Have been playing consistently ever since, and every year, Dad and I play on my birthday. This year I had a big business meeting on my actually birthday, Friday the 13th, so we played on the 12th at my favorite course in Denver, Willis Case. I am an 8 handicap and have been aiming for a hole in one for a very long time with no success. I didnt have a great front nine, so I grabbed a bratwurst for Dad and I at the turn and told myself to tighten up for the back 9. I would usually hit a 9 iron, but instead I hit an 8 - put a good swing on it and it flew right into the hole! The ball ran back up the stick, set on the deck for a second, and fell right back into the hole! Yehaa - first hole in one and Dad was there. One day short of 38 years of playing golf. Got that monkey off my back! Thanks Titleist!
