  1. I had a solid start to my round as we began on the back 9. Walking up to the tee I joked about playing smart or letting it rip. One of our playing partners said to let it fly. A par 4 323 yard dog leg left with the corner clear to cut across. I could not have drawn up a better shot. Started at the left side of the green and leaked just past the center of the green. We saw the ball land on the green and take a bounce left towards the pin. I was in a cart with my Dad and was watching his shot not seeing the other carts approach shots. As I walked up to the green I saw a ball just in the rough and assumed it was mine. When I got to it, I noticed it wasn't mine. I looked around and didn't see another ball in the area. I thought there is no way. So I walked slowly to the hole and peaked in to see my Titleist Pro-V1 with my red #21 marking. My first hole-in-one and its on a par 4!! To top it off, my father, the man who got me into the game was by my side to witness the whole thing.

    Awesome Albatross Michael! Congratulations
  3. I had an almost identical experience: my first (and only, so far) ace was also in a par 4. I too was having an average round until then. On the 14th hole, a reachable par 4, I hit a beautiful 3 wood from 230 that rolled into the green and disappeared. Just like you, I figured it rolled off the green, because who the hell gets their first hole in one on a par 4, right?

    Mine had a cool twist: my course had just opened 2 weeks earlier from a renovation, and 14 was one of two new holes. So I had the FIRST hole in one at 14, ever!

    My brag frame takes up most of the space on a wall in my home.
