This was the sixth hole-in-one in my life so far. On Wednesday, June 12, 2024 which was ladies night, I played with another three Chinese ladies, they were Xiaoyin Qiu, Ruixue Huang and Jenny Yan. On hole #7, the flag was on the front, the distance was 107 yards, a bit uphill, between the tee box and the green, there was a big ravine and the wind was on our face. I used the 9 iron club, it was very solid and straight. We saw the ball jump once and disappear. We couldn’t see the ball go in, because it’s uphill, but the direction was good. Jenny shouted, “maybe a hole-in-one.” Ruixue went to green first, she wanted to confirm if it’s a hole-in-one. She waved her hand and told me it’s in.
Last year, July 8, 2023 was my fifth hole-in-one at Hautes Plaines. That day, we played our second round match play. Ruixue Huang and I vs. Manon Lamache and Carole Vachon. We won one hole on hole #16. Last two holes they still had a chance to win. Hole #17, 78 yards, on this green, the right side was higher than the left side. The flag was on the front. I used the 54 degree club, aimed a little bit right of the flag and hit it solid. We all saw the ball landed on the right of the flag and rolled into the hole. We won our match solidly.
My first hole-in-one was on June 18, 2016, at Meadows Country Club East Course hole #7. My second hole-in-one was on July 28th, 2019. It was the intersectional qualifier tournament second round at Hautes Plaines hole #13. My third hole-in-one was on September 8, 2022 at Cloverdale Links Golf Course hole #8. My fourth hole-in-one was on March 2023, I played on a simulator at Carleton Golf and Yacht Club.
