My hole-in-one was made on Monday, June 16th on the GTA Am Tour at their event at Ladies Golf Club of Toronto (fourth hole).
I play in the B Fight. Link to the results of the day: https://gtaamtour.com/events/ladies-golf-club-of-toronto-1/results.
As for that day, I started off really well with par, par, then birdie on a par 5. Being in my 60’s that made me feel like my game from decades ago. Then on hole #4, I decided on a three-quarter swing 8 iron for the 139 yard par 3. I hit down on it nicely and it appeared to be tracking nicely towards the green.
One of my competitors said it was on line for the green perfectly. Not having the best eye sight I did not see my ball land or finish. As we approached the green we saw two of the three balls and tried to figure out which players’ ball was missing from the group. As I wandered back towards the bunker one of my playing competitors said, “check the hole.” That was so funny to hear as I have heard that many times in the past and it was never there. This time, it was. I let out a happy yell and the group following us playing the previous hole yelled out for us to confirm one of us made and hole-it-one, which we informed them I did.
They let out a cheer of congratulations. One of the things I love about playing on the GTA Am Tour, everyone is so friendly. The other two in my group were also happy for me with high-fives and congratulations.
We use live scoring on the Tour and in the fairway of the next hole, one of the committee members congratulated me on my accomplishment and took the photo of me holding up one finger. He also reminded me I should take that hole-in-one ball out of play and keep it for a keep sake. Which I did when I finished that hole.
Once our scorecards were signed, we went back to the prize area where many of the B Flight were waiting for the awards to be handed out and they all congratulated me on my first hole-in-one. It was an amazing day as I also got the win with my first hole-in-one.
