Beauty day, calm, no wind, Saturday evening round. Hole #6, 125 yards with a pitching wedge. It never left the flag; dunked straight in! As a former university basketball player and now coach of my daughter’s Etobicoke Thunder U16 basketball team I liked seeing it go straight in the cup, “swish!” I went nuts and my son James (15, competing on CJGA now) ran 20 yards full tilt jumping in the air for a big hug. It was awesome, we were pumped. It was a great father son moment that we will never forget. To add to it, on the tee my son James said to me before we teed off, “Dad, yesterday I almost had a hole-in-one on this hole – hit it to two feet!” I replied, “buddy that’s amazing” and then turned to the other player in our group (Nathan Whale) and said, “have you ever had a hole-in-one?” He replied, “nope.” I said, “well then boys, why not today then.” I then stepped up to tee off and boom, it goes in! Nathan yells, “oh my god!” He just manifested it into reality!
The story continues..
After i had my first ever hole in one earlier in June, I did it again, well, and again, in the same round on Thursday night! It was crazy.
St George’s Golf club
Hole #3 – 180 yards, 7-iron
40 minutes later..
Hole #6 – 110 yards, 50 degree wedge
We all couldn’t believe it. Course was full that evening and we all had a great laugh with the groups in front and behind us. It was unreal and a round I’ll never forget.
That makes three in June. The first one was with my son close to Fathers Day weekend. It was a special moment. The other two were during a round with a great friend. Our plan was to do 9 and dine and have dinner with our wives after, however, once I had two aces in the front we had to keep playing! Met up as couples later that evening once off the course to celebrate. So fun.
Figured I’d share as I’m being told odds of two hole-in-one’s in a single round are 67 million to one. Not sure what they are for three in a month!
