Golfers dream!
 
I'm truly at a loss for words for what your day was like. Life is about making memories, and that you did. First a wonderful day with your father and then to play a game like you described! I started to read this and then had to read it out loud for my husband. As I finished it... I became so emotional for you and your happiness I started to tear up. Congratulations Mr. Brown. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy! I hope this is a memory of your first of many more to come.

Congratulations!!! My dad was lucky enough to have one hole in one during his golfing years and he could tell the story over and over. We appreciate it now more than ever.

Thanks!
 
I just wanted to take a post to say thanks all for the comments, I am so glad I decided to post and very happy what made the day special came through in my post. After the hole in one, I asked my Dad if there was any storms in the area as I clearly remember the fate of the Bishop in Caddyshack. To be clear, I do not play golf like I did yesterday, I have never had a round like that, it was surreal…..

Anyone who plays and understands the game of golf knows that things even out. After the way I played on Christmas day when things do ‘even out’, it is going to be ugly, so AngieFox, if you want to see tears, watch me play next time :ohdear:.

PS. Mr. Brown is an alias used in the event I post anything so ridiculous I need a new real name :faint:. Please call me Alan.

Okay, so you feel better now? Are you satisfied that you made all of us who might make 2 or 3 birdies in the round of our life feel inadequate and ineffectual? Seriously, congratulations Alan, sounds like a memorable Christmas indeed.

Who among us would not want to share this great round of golf with the rest of the world? You are forgiven. Merry Christmas!
