Today is the second time I witness a hole-in-one and it belongs to Victor. We left the ear, nose & throat specialist's office in the morning then go play golf. At that time Victor was kind of worry because his doctor stated that anti-biotic hasn't really improve his blockage in the sinus, suggested that he needs an invasive surgery to drain the fluid. He will be put to sleep and it is a 1 hour to 2 hours surgery, takes a month to heal, of course there won't be any sports or heavy duty work after the surgery.
Perhaps the Golf God has mercy on him, decided to give him what he has been longing for, after hearing the bad news from the doctor's office. It was the 4th hole par 3 175 yard and he hit a 5-iron beautifully landed just short of the flag, I saw it disappeared. I said to him "It just roll up the hill and disappeared, it is in the hole!"
He was in dis-belief, said "maybe it just roll around the hole, the white flag is blocking our view to it."
"I think it is in the hole." I replied, "this is your first hole-in-one ever! I am happy for you and feel lucky that I can witness it. Well, you would have to claim your hole-in-one status legally by finishing 18 holes, now you don't want to put a lousy score on this score card because it will be framed along with your lucky ball."
All of a sudden he gets to play with much more focus, the next hole is a water hole and I told him make sure your worst score is a bogey, it just does not look good to have an 8 followed a 1 on the score card. This strategy worked really well and he shot 87 to finish 18 holes, we told everybody at the dining room while we stopped for lunch afterward. It is a special day for him, I am sure.
I wish my hole-in-one would come sooner than Victor's!
