Today was amazing! I didn't score that well (79 on the North Course at Torrey Pines) but I made great improvments on my swing and iron play. Anyways to the point, I was witness to the first hole in one that I have ever seen. I was playing with 3 other strangers and a gentleman I was playing with stuck his tee shot on #3 (no big deal 117 yard par 3) to about 5 feet and when he did we all got excited and all talked about how none of us have a hole in one nor have we ever seen one hit. So ther same guy then proceeds to hit his tee shot on #6 (much harder par 3 160 yards, shot straight into the pacific ocean and into a strong breeze, straight down hill, O.B. over and left, and the green is heavily surronded by bunkers). The win was blowing awfully hard this afternoon so he said, "well if I had a knockdown in my bag i'd hit it here!" He then hits a very thin shot so I say, "there is your knockdown shot, haha." The ball lands about 15 feet from the green and continues to roll towards the hole. The ball never left the perfect line as it then proceeded to hit the pin and fall into the cup for the hole in one! It was amazing, totally made my round and the fact that it was at Torrey, and on a difficult hole made it that much better. And to make the story even better, the guy wasn't even supposed to be out on the course today! How is that for fate!
