I made my first 'real' hole-in-one on June 11, 2023 on the 7th hole of the West Course at Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton, Illinois. I had two "fake" holes-in-one before that - first tee shot in the water/out of bounds and second shot in the hole!! It is so fun to tell a "real" story instead of being laughed at, and it was worth the 50 year wait!!!
