Played in a Charity scramble as a "Celebrity" today. At best, I'm a D-Lister. They get a bunch of hockey guys up to a nice little town just north of where I live and have a charity tourney. Lots of autographed memorabilia for the prize table and auction. They raise thousands of dollars for a local cause, people cry, it is really a great day.
Anyway it is sixsomes scramble. Was killing my driver, but was fighting it with my irons and particularly the wedges and getting frustrated. Just couldn't get anything close to the flag, until...
Our 12th hole of the day. 115 yard, slightly uphill par-3, I was the last guy to go. Our closest ball was about 25'. Hit my 52* maybe a groove skinny. It never left the flag. Two hops and it rolled in. We could not tell a 100% from the tee, but there it was in the bottom of the cup when we got to the green.
My first ace. I was and am still shocked more than anything else. Won a barbecue for closest to the pin. Last year, they gave away a car for an ace. Timing is everything. I'm thrilled anyway.
