Hole in One

Friday November 27, 2009 marks the day I achieved a feat I thought I would never do. There are many arguments of what the odds are to achieve such a feat. I have been golfing for about 28 years and have seen it once before seeing my own. According to holeinoneinsurance.com, the odds are 12,500 to 1.

I was invited to this tournament by my sales rep with Schneider, Jeff Clark. In our 4 person scramble team was his friend Tom Mitchell and my friend Gary Boersma. We were playing the 155 yard 6Th hole at Oakbrook Country Club. I'm happy to say it was a clean shot contrary to others believing that I hit a cart path, went under a windmill and through a clowns mouth.

The rest of the day was spent on cloud 9, weather great and good friendship. The only dull moment hit me on my way home. I wanted to grab my cell phone and call my dad to share the news. I was reminded by someone else he saw it happen from a much higher perch.

The picture was taken just after I picked my ball out of the cup. You can see the smile from ear to ear and man those ears are getting big! (maybe not, the picture is so small but mark my words it was dumbo to dumbo)
