Hillcrest Country Club Indy
By Bernie A On 28 May 2012
Memorial day 2012. I had played 36 the day before and I didn't want to play today. My wife made me go. It was the 17th, a 217 yd par 3. I was playing with Mike Dunn and he had just hit a nice shot on the green about 7 ft from the pin. I made the comment it was going to tough to get closer than that, and I hit my shot. It headed left of the pin and hit right before the green and took a big bounce. On the way down it disappeared but I really thought it must have gone past the green. We were waiting for the ladies to hit and Mike decides to drive down and look. He was walking around behind the green looking for the ball and then walked to the pin. The girls were all doing the OMG what if it's a hole in one thing, and Mike walks over and holds up the ball and we thought it was a few feet in front of the pin. The girls hit and we drove down not realizing it went in. Two years ago at Kelly Greens in Ft Myers, on one of our golf trips, a lady in our group scored a hole-in-one. My wife Maureen was there for both. I'm thinking about renting her out as a hole-in-one charm. Funny thing is, I hit it with a Pro-V1 that I found on the course the day before. I usually play another ball because I'm not that good, but I hit some great shots the day before with that ball, and some cart paths so it had a scuff, but I stayed with it and it paid off nicely.
