Here’s the story in his own words…

“On 07-20-14,  at Penderbrook Golf Club in Fairfax, VA, I hit a 90 degree wedge on hole #13, par 3 at 90 yards, my ball hit about a yard or so in front of the flag, went past the flag and drew back to the hole, and rested against the flag pole, then dropping before we could reach the green. Final score 74.”

#13 at Penderbrook is a tricky little Par 3 over water with a wide but not deep green.

Here’s his story…

The temp was around 60 degrees with a clear blue sky. I was paired up with a father son from California also on holiday. We were playing the white tees. The second hole has a duck pond on the left and two big sand traps on the right. It’s 149 yards to center green, pin in front, Sky Caddie said 141.

I swung my seven iron and my new Nike One ball hit the green and with one bounce went into the hole.

For the young boy Nick (age 13) it was his first time to witness a hole in one and was more excited then I. We saw the cart girl on the next hole and drinks for all.

The course registered my hole-in-one and the two witnesses signed the form. Trilogy presented me with a free round of golf certificate so I went back Monday to play again.

By the way, Milton says, the Trilogy Golf Club a great golf experience if you ever get to Phoenix. You will love this course.

Here’s his story…

“On May 26 2012 I had my first hole in one at Carroll Valley Resort in Carroll Valley, PA. It was hole #8 playing 200 yards on this day.

I hit a 3 hybrid it went in on the 2nd bounce. From the tee we were not sure it was in but as I pulled up to the green I could see that it did go in.

I was playing with Matt Hopper golf superintendent at Carroll valley and Dustin Smith.

Drinks were on me this day!”

On February 27th, Jerry Clift aced the 110 yard hole #5 to take home the prize money.

So congratulations Jerry… we hope the prize covered your bar tab that day

We got to the 11th hole which is a 110 yard par 3. The wind was directly in our face so I decided to hit a 7 iron.

The greens were pretty hard from frost. My Nike ball hit the green short of the pin and pop up in the air we thought it went off of the back. When we got to the green we did not see the ball so we went to the back and could not find the ball.

My witness Alan Schmidt looked in the hole and there it was. I couldn’t believe it went in the hole. What a thrill to get a hole in one under these conditions.

I had my first Hole in One on May 15, 2010 at the 12th hole at the Links at Gettysburg. The hole was playing 159 yards into the wind. The pin was on the back shelf. I hit my 5 wood. The shot landed on the green bounce and rolled to the pin. I heard it hit the pin but wasn’t sure it had gone into the hole until the group on the 10th tee, which overlooks the green, started to yell and cheer. It was a great feeling, but a long time coming.

We had eight in our group and we were the second group of four. The snack cart was parked at the 15th, as was our previous foursome. The hole was perfect, 152 yards. I selected my seven iron, got lucky and saw the ball fade slightly to the left. I knew it was going to be close, it was a good shot, our foursome in front started cheering on, and what do you know, a hole in one. The experience was truly a once in lifetime for me. We capped it off with celebration drinks at Ruth Chris Steakhouse at the course, and then 30 minutes in the parking lot listening to 60’s groups singing our favorites. Life is good.
