    Hole In One Today !!!

    Played my regular Sunday morning round of golf this morning. Started off like I had never played before. Double bogey first hole, triple bogey on the second hole. Had to walk back to the cart and talk to myself. Since the game was $1 skins (w/ carryovers), $1 greens in regulation, $2 birdies, $4 eagles I figured I would be out of Bud Light money for a couple of weeks.
    After talking to myself for awhile --- a light came on and the rest is now history. Won 14 of 18 skins, and the real story is on Number 10 (180yd par 3) I hit a 3 iron in the hole for a hole-in-one resulting in a $1 greenie, a $4 eagle, 3 skins (2 carryovers) with 3 other players resulting a $24 hole. After being 5 over on the first 2 holes I finished 10 over (82) for the round.

    Major congrats, but

    ...it ain't an eagle, it's a hole in one. A great hole in one. Should have been worth a minimum of $25.00 from each player.

    A hole in one on a par 3 is an "eagle" - A hole in one on a par 4 is a "double eagle". I thought you were a golfer.

    Thumbs up

    Ken, Congratulations! The whole in one is great news, however, it's better news that you won. I do not think us creek folks could survive two weeks with you low on Bud Lite and not having a Bud Lite fund to fall back on. Good game for you and Very Good Break For Us.

    Cool WHOOOAAA!

    Ken Congrats & Welcome to the club

    Course mine was just a little 118 yarder but it was a sweet moment. perfectly hit 9 iron, 1 hop & in the hole, on the 9th hole with about 25 people watching, including my dad & my best friend. Right after I hit the ball my friend said "I've never seen a hole in 1 before" & in it went!

    I've never hit the wall of China - but I've hit people, cars, houses, & lots of trees. I even almost hit an Alligator once on Kiawah Island SC.

    Congratulations, Ken

    Very impressive. Sounds like a new display case for the hole in 1 ball is in order. Have you given it any thought?

    <b>Way to go, Ken!!</b>

    I wish I could hit a 3 iron 180 yards. ;-) It's funny hearing about golf scores when there's still a couple feet of snow on the ground. If you ever make it to the Northeast, we'll have to play Sugarloaf in Carabassett Valley. I never got a hole in one but I hit a guy in the chest once. On the fly with a driver(par 4- he was on the green). It was on the eighteenth, he putted out, threw his clubs in the car and drove off before I even had a chance to catch up to him and apologize.

    <b>Glenn,</b>

    Great picture! :-)

    <b>Zack,</b>

    I wasn't aware of the missing key crisis but I'm relieved to hear you found them. :-)

    Craig
