In most cases, aces are achieved on par-3 holes. But believe it or not, a hole-in-one was scored on a par-4 at Horizon Hills Golf and Country Club, I was the force behind the club, literally!
I teed off from the white tee of Hole-16, which is 282 yards. After making contact with my club, my ball flew high over the first bunker and rolled onto the green. I only saw it land on the green - I couldn’t see the go into the holes as it was too far to see it. I only knew the ball went in when the flight in front of ours, who had just walked off the green together with their caddies, screamed and yelled joyously: :"Hole-in-One!"
I was then still at the tee box, but I heard the shouts and I knew it had happened. I was very surprised and didn’t believe I had scored a hole-in-one because the hole is a par-4!
With this unbelievable ace, I had also accomplished some 'first' - the first time I played at Horizon Hills was also the first time I hit a hole-in-one in five years. I was also the first hole-in-one achiever on a par-4 at Horizon Hills.
I was awarded a certificate by management of Horizon Hills for this achievement.
Shooting a hole-in-one may be just a pure luck, but it's almost certain that the golfer has hit an excellent shot. Such a wonderful experience will definitely increase my confidence level and it is a memorable moment to be remembered for life.
