    So this is my second ace and by far the most special. My mother had been sick since January 2023 and passed away on Tuesday August 1, 2023, 4 days prior to her 75th birthday. After she passed I convinced my dad to still go on a golf trip we had planned with a group of friends. I had requested that he be in my group on Saturday, as that would have been my mother's 75th birthday, and I knew it would be an emotional day for him. I started birdie, birdie, par, par and then stepped up to the par 3 fifth and magic happened. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to hold it together and finished with a 75, but I know that my mother had a hand on the club during that swing and am glad that my dad was there to witness it. It is by far the best golfing day I've ever experienced. After the round I purchased a flag from the course and had everyone in the group sign it.

    Congratulations and I'm sure she was watching down and very proud!

    Wasn't until later that night that I realized I shot 75 on what would have been her 75th birthday. She definitely had a hand in it for sure!
