A hole in one!

FlamingosI’ve been playing the Blue Bay Golf Course on Curacao quite regularly in the last seven or eight months and I’ve had some good rounds, and some not so good rounds. Yesterday, I played terribly, and Pam said, “Let’s go today, you’re bound to do better.”

And I did. I played very nicely. Drove the ball well, and was putting like a house on fire. When we had just finished 16 and were driving to the par 3 17th, Pam said, “Well you have to be pleased with your round.” I had just missed a birdie putt by about an inch. I was feeling pretty good about my game. It’s been a while since I’ve had such a nice round.

Came to 17 and it was running at 111.8 yards according to my range finder. It was funny because I had had another shot of 111 yards and hit a nice nine iron to within a couple feet. Sometimes the winds are swirly at 17 so I took a nine iron and an eight iron to the tee box. I hit my nine iron and it seemed a bit left, but it bounced once, then rolled into the cup!

And here is the movie to prove it!
