Got My Ace

Tom K 23 May 2005 01:58:15
 Got my Ace today. Waited about 40 years for it.

4th Hole at my local muni. In the light rain no less.

Par 3, 4th hole. 144 Yards. Callaway Red HX Hot ball. Titleist 804
7-Iron.

Came in 2 over on the front, 9 over on the back.

The golf gods were kind today.

Very cool ----
I had one lip out in golf league on Wed.... I did not see it though --- I
was so relieved it cleared that deep bunker right in front of the sucker pin
placement just over the bunker that I shot at - that I just breathed a sigh
of relief & picked up my tee...
I've been close so many times I've lost count long ago.
I'm still looking for the 1st ace.

 When is the funeral? If is your only ace, sell the clubs and jump in
front of a truck.

Before I got the 804's, I was playing my 20 year old set of Titleist blades.
I quit playing for about 15 years (arthritic hip), so when I started up
again (post hip replacement) I used the blades to get started again. But
now in my mid 50's, I needed something more forgiving. Plus I wanted the
slightly larger club head with the 804's. The 704 is a standard size head.
Other than my blades, I have nothing to compare them to. But they're more
forgiving than the blades. I've had them about a year. No complaints so
far, though I wouldn't mind trying a set of the KZG Evolution (they progress
from cavity back to blades) irons.

 Congrats to Tom - welcome to the club and getting to "know the
feeling"!

Having it finally sink in tomorrow morning will even be better. :-)­

I got mine on 5.12.00 - you will never forget the date you got yours.

Chris, I didn't see mine go in either - perhaps there is a special
club for us! :-)­

So? What's your point? Are you double-parked?

I do even better for my offerings. I leave Pro V 1's and Callaway's for the
golf gods at various (always well hidden) places in nicely wooded areas and
peaceful quiet ponds.

 My three longest shots into the hole were:

1. 196 yards for an ace. (3½ years ago)
2. 130 yards for a dirty par 4 (drove 20 yards into native, took a drop, hit
into a fairway bunker, and then 130 yards into the hole) (2 years ago).
3. 135 yards for a dirty birdie (par 5, drove 160 yards into lake, drop, 200
yard rescue wood, and 135 yard 9 iron) (3 weeks ago).

I'm grateful to you and your brethren for that. If you didn't, I'd
have no golf balls at all.
People sometimes ask me what kind of ball I play.
My reply? "I play 'Found 1's'. "

Odd - I have two and didn't see either one of them go in the hole. I don't
remember the date of either, but I remember the yardage and the club I used
for both. First was a 7 iron on a 167 yard hole. Hit in back of the hole
and sucked it back. I was hidden by the flag stick and we didn't know for
sure it went in until we were close to the hole. The second was an 8 iron
from 150 yards and it was a slam dunk with a bunker hiding it from me.
There was a course worker mowing around the green and he saw it! The two
were 35 years apart so I have scheduled my next on for my 100th birthday.
Looking forward to it.

Congrats Tom.

Don D.

I hit a 9 iron on an approach and liked what I saw. Only after I turned to my
companion to say "I'll take that", did he get excited because he saw it drop - I
didn't.
