This is my third holeinone and the first one that I saw enter the hole. The first two entered the hole as I was retrieving my golf tee. Therefore, I was looking down at the time. This holeinone was made at the same hole as my second holeinone and four years later. I am 70 years of age and did not expect to ever make another holeinone. Therefore, I became very excited upon seeing the ball enter the hole. To all golfers that do not have a holeinone, don't give up trying, your next game may be your lucky day.
