On April 4th we had a Wacky Wednesday at Windrose Golf Club. This begins in the evening @5:30PM, and nine holes are set up for par 3 play.

Earlier in the day I had a lesson on pitching and chipping, and continued working an extra hour after the lesson. I went home for a few hours and came back. I warmed up by hitting a few balls on the driving range and then did some putting.

The groups were scattered out to the different holes and the tournament began. We started on #14 I was the last one to hit in our group. My thoughts were to keep my arms long and follow through. After my swing one of the guys said, "That's going right at it." We heard it hit the flag but was unsure if it went in. The group behind us said it looked like it went in but, were unsure.

When we got to the green my ball was not in the area. One of the guys walked to the hole and raised his arms like a touchdown. The group behind us and my group began cheering. I was truly amazed, and this was my first hole in one. I was kind of in a daze and never thought to get a picture of the ball in the hole or even of the pin and green. The ball was jarred and no ball mark on the green or around the cup. After I realized what had happened...I felt like I had just drank a gallon of coffee and was very nervous.

At the clubhouse, for rewards, I got the Hole-In-One pot, The Skins pot, and a closest to the pin award from Chick-Fil-A.

I normally use a NXT Tour, but sometimes I use Pro V1's too. My group signed my ball, and I dated it and it is now in my ball collection rack.

This was an awesome experience and quite rewarding. I will always remember this shot.
