Never thought it would happen to me...
Just have to share this with everyone here. Playing a round at my course on Wed. Get to the 16th, 175yrd par three. Know that I am always short here, and a little bit of wind so grab a 5 iron. Step up on the tee and feel a much stronger breeze, got back grab a 4 iron. Wait for the group ahead to clear, pull the trigger, balls hits the fringe, takes a little hop up on the green and rolls about 7 feet and drops out of sight. First thing I ask one of my FCs is if he sees the ball behind the flag. He says no, we all go crazy. It was my first hole in one and the first for all of them to see. I have to say, there is nothing like walking up to the green and seeing your ball in the bottom of the cup. Been away for two days, thought I'd share my story with all of you.

It could not have happened to a better guy. Congrats Geoff. I guess these irons will stay in the bag for a while.

Thanks guys, and Andre the funny thing is these are the loaner set from the Saint. My irons are not ready yet, so as you can see this puts me in quite a predicament...LOL just kidding, can't wait for the new irons.

Ohhhh what a feeling.....Get the ball mounted! I'll sell the 4 iron to you for your trophy room display case.
Some people are like Slinkies... they're really good for nothing, ... but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs...

Thanks for all the accolades guys. What a great feeling. Played at the course today for the first time since the ace and spoke with the owner. To my surprise somebody later that day also aced the same hole I did. Like him, I couldn't believe it.
