  1. October 6, 2024, It was a tournament round for our Men's Club. Being the away tournament chair, I play in the last group to secure the markers for "Closest to the Pin". I wasn't having a great start, because organizing players, checking them in & making sure everything flows ties up most of my morning. Warming up is usually not happening, today was no different. I had birdied #4, a par 4, so i was feeling a groove, bogied the next hole & got to #6, the first par 3 on the course, feeling like i was turning things around. As each of us took out range finders to get our yardages, we joked about the weather, it was high 80's & we were going to hit low 90's mid round, felt humid but it's Sunday & we love to golf... stop complaining. I figured a 7 iron(Titleist AP3) would clear the bunker on the right, the pin was in the back & I naturally draw the ball, so i was aiming about 10 yards right of the flag. I play Titleist Pro V1, I figured it would check if i make good contact. I didn't draw it as much as i anticipated, it just cleared the bunker by about 6 feet, but behind the bunker it slopes towards the hole. We watched it land & my playing partner, Kevin, immediately said "That's goin in", we watched it slowly roll left about 20-25 feet until it disappeared. The group on #7, which is about 100 feet away ran back towards the green & we were all yelling back & forth at each other like children in the playground. It was an unbelievable rush of adrenaline, as this was my 1st hole in one.
