It happened like magic. Just the previous day I was having dinner with my friend Yoon Kim and was complaining that I’ve never had a hole in one and that I probably would never get one in my life. The next day in the first round of the Joliet Amateur tournament on hole 13 I have a 185 yard par 3 into the wind and I stripe a 6 iron with a small draw right at the hole. I see it land close to the green, hit the flagstick, and disappear. I let out a yelp but I remembered there were golfers behind me trying to concentrate on the green so i celebrated in excited silence. I arrive at the green and take the trusty AVX out of the hole and give it a big kiss! Heart was pounding!!!!!!
