I made an “ace” on the 11th hole of
Saucon Valley Country Club’s Old Course on Saturday.  An “ace” in golf is aka a Hole-in-1. 

The 11th hole measures 146 yards and is
well guarded by sand bunkers. The pin was located close to the front of the
green so I chose to hit a 9 iron.  I hit
the ball a little thin on more of a line drive than a perfect shot would
dictate.  It was difficult to determine
whether my ball hit the green or landed in the sand bunker in front of the
green since my eyesight is not as sharp as it was in my younger years.  One of my foursome said he thought saw the
ball hit and roll in, nevertheless, the excitement grew as we walked toward the
green.  There was no ball in the sand
bunker and, sure enough, there it was at the bottom of the cup.  Wow! 
What a great feeling.

The odds of an average golfer hitting a hole in one:  12,000 to 1. 
Saturday’s hole-in-1 was my second. 
So, I feel blessed.
