My first ever hole in one

It was originally posted on the Titleist US site ! Saturday 21th January 2012 … a date I will remember for ever. The Downshire Golf Club, Berkshire, UK. Set off with 3 other members on a late morning tee time, and I must admit my round was not starting very well. But the magic arrived @ the par 3 14th. Pin right at the front of the green. Hit my 712 AP2 9 iron that I was fitted for at the UK fitting centre St Ives, which apparently I have the first Left hand custom set that was built in the UK (I’ve been told, but I don’t know if it’s true !), hit a perfect strait shot pass the pin, my ProV1 bounced twice, and with a tremendous back spin disappeared into the cup. Pling plong … my first hole in one!!! Had the feeling it was like on TV, with the slow motion, raising my club in the air, my golf partners cheering me … For the rest of the round, I was just beaming from ear to ear. What a great feeling! The arrival at the club house is another costly story that I will keep for a next time.
