After throwing up about 40 rounds a season for the past 5-10 years, and as a 2.1 Handicap I finally got my first hole in one! The crazy part is that it came on a par 4 so I knocked off the HIO and an Albatross in one drive. It was on Sunday, June 14, 2026 (Flag Day - ironic) at Elk Ridge Golf Course in Carson, WA, and it was on hole 14. An uphill par 4 playing 303 yards from the blue tees, after hitting a great drive right up the middle and seeing a huge bounce off the crest of the hill, I was unable to find it in the fairway or on the green. My long time golf buddy Dixon Hinderaker says "Check the hole", and of course being doubtful, I walked up and BANG. In the frontside of the cup. A Ttitleist 1, Pro V1x performance alignment red to match the Sun Day Red Polo I was rocking along with my favorite Bandon Dunes bucket hat, what a special moment for my first hole in one.
