>>>But so is my first real hole-in-one in my life that happened today on a 165 yards par 3 with a 7 iron. :)

>>A 7 iron from 165? Nice!

>It was actually about 168, but who's counting? :)
>Oh... it was a beauty. I'll probably be talking about it for awhile.
>I was between clubs. Do I hit a hard 8 or and soft 7?
>It was into a slight breeze, so I decided on a normal 7.

>As soon as I made contact, everything went into slo-mo... the way the ball came off of the club face... my follow through... the trajectory of the ball... the roll of the ball as it finally disappeared into the cup. I'll never forget it.

>I've come close a few times, but it finally happened. Now I can die in peace... no wait I haven't played Pepple Beach yet....:)

No, in fact it makes me want to take the sticks out of the garage, blow the dust off them, and go play a round.

I played pretty seriously for a couple years about 20 years ago. The best I ever shot was an honest 93. (That's for 18, Sam, LOL). I came close to a hole in one only once. It was a long par 3, over 200 at Dubsdread in Orlando. My drive had a perfect loft I can still see and was right on line. "Holy s**t!" one of my playing partners said. It bit the green a few feet past and rolled back just past the pin. "Missed it by that much" -- Maxwell Smart.

Then I blew the 4 foot putt and parred out the hole. That's golf.
