My first hole-in-one happened on July 3rd at TPC Jasna Polana in Princeton, NJ. Hole #17 is a 165-yard par 3 which was playing closer to 170 that day.

I was the first to tee off, pulled out my 6-iron, and let my faithful Pro V1 fly. It felt like a good strike. We didn’t see it drop, but we knew it was close. Sure enough - it was in the hole.

It's taken me 40 years to get one of these, and the best part is I got to share it with three of my best mates. What a memory!
