    Well folks, i dont usually open up a thread to comment on my shots here, but thought i would share this 1.

    I was playing my CC tournament game at Olympic, and playing badly. I was -2 at the turn, and i somehow then triple bogeyed the 10th hole, even though i was on the green with a great chance to bird. I then get a bird on hole 11, even though i was distracted after that triple bogey.

    So, i know im out of the tournament, and i decide to max out the shots on the last 7 holes, and get myself a putt of the month instead. Now im on the par 3 13th at Olympic, and i line up my shot. Just as im about to take the swing, my phone rings. A former member of our CC is ringing to have a chat, and i just pull the trigger without thinking about the shot. BAM, Hole in 1.

    Was i shocked? you bet your ass i was shocked. Its nearly 2 years since my last hole in 1, and i thought i would never get 1 again. After that, i decide to play the game properly again, and try my best to get the score down, only to bogey the 2 par 5's at the end, lol.

    Moral of the story is, i seem to do worse when im trying hard to do well. And i always say a hole in 1 will come when you least expect it, lol.

    Ha ha! Great Story!  Nothing better than getting a HIO after a bad round.  I hope you have very many more to come and I hope one hits you when you're having a great round.

    That is a tough hole too. I struggle just to make bird there and don't think I have ever come close to sinking a shot. 

    So instead of winning putt of the month you may walk away with possibly winning shot of the month? 

    Good for you Jimmy! Very nice shot

    Congrats!

    Very nicely done Jimmy! With an 18 mph wind, never in my dreams , especially on Olympic, i've think i've made that course past the third and that's it...lol

    It seems to come unexpectedly , I tried for a few weeks for my first and only one by setting up a tourney of Par 3, and then a journal of my journey of trying , still no go and then finally, I started a  tourney of giving a sleeve of balls to the first to get a HIO , and guess what? The first hole, I did it! and to be honest , I so didn't want to play the next 8....but knew I had to for it to be counted....:-)

    Well done!
