Accidental Glory
By Daniel P On 18 February 2019
On my home course on a cool February afternoon. My favorite hole is number 4. Slightly downhill and normally plays between 152 and 158. I normally love this shot over the water and the distance is perfect for my 9 iron.... not today. I approach the tee box feeling confident with my trusty 9 iron, minimal wind, and the flag is sitting at 155. I make contact and can immediately tell I did not hit it well. Afraid to look, I pull my head up and the ball is a lazer beam fired directly at the cup. If it hadn’t hit the cup I’m convinced it would have rolled 30 yds past the pin.
To my surprised we approached the green to find the edge of the cup smashed and my very first hole in one. Although, it didn’t happen the way I dreamed it up, I’m very happy to celebrate the milestone.
I give all credit to my Pro V1. I did everything I could to ruin the shot but the ball found the cup.
Thank you Titleist!
