HOLE IN ONE!!

I made my first HOLE IN ONE!  Played the retirement community golf course at Robson Ranch near Denton.  I was playing alone and caught up with a foursome at #11, a par 3 128 yard shot.  They had all already teed off (none were on the green)  and so I checked the yardage, grabbed by 6 iron and just walked up and hit the tee shot.  It bounced once on the green just short of the flag and then into the hole!!  I was SHOCKED!  The older foursome was so sweet; they signed my score card and just kept patting me on the back.  I drove on up to the green and plucked my ball out of the cup - then I jumped up and down and screamed!  I drove to the next hole -- a quirky par 5 -- still in shock. I began to text/call my friends.   My golf partner/swing czar called from Corpus to congratulate me and told me to catch my breath and finish my round well. 

The course is a little funny in that not a lot of long shots. I was usually within 100 yards after my tee shot but there were some fun curves to the holes and such.  Was a really hot day and I was moving around the course. Started getting calls and texts from friends who had seen my message and another single golfer (male) caught up with me. I waved him through and he told me congratulations on the hole in one that he had heard about.  I finished the round in a sort of daze but when I tallied my score, I realized I had finished my first ever UNDER PAR round!!  Two under! WOW what a day on the course.

Only bad thing about it was that I played alone and then went home alone with no one to celebrate with. Kind of brought me back to reality.  Met up with a girlfriend later that evening for a margarita and a laugh but I do hope that the next time I have a hole in one that I have a special someone to share it with :)
