I took up golf after college when my cousin gave me his old Tommy Armour 845’s clubs, over 32 years ago. I fell in love with the game and have been playing Titleist balls ever since.

I play with my friends at Trump Doral Golf Club in Miami most Friday mornings. They have four great courses and this morning we were playing the Red Tiger course. The 14th hole is a par 3, with an elevated green surrounded by bunkers, and with water running along the right. The pin was in the back right at 148 yards and the wind was coming left to right.

I grabbed an 8-iron and aimed about 10 yards left of the pin. I hit it perfectly; the ball was going straight for most of its ascent and started drifting towards the hole to the right as it was descending. We saw it bounce, roll a bit and disappear. The green being elevated made us wonder if it had rolled off the back although we were all pretty sure it was in the hole.

I immediately called my buddy on FaceTime that I usually play with that was not there and told him that I was pretty sure that I had just made my first hole in one. I walked up to the green, to the hole, and there it was, that beautiful Titleist logo with my blue line mark, at the bottom of the cup.

We celebrated this moment that I will never forget.

Thank you Titleist for allowing me to tell my story.
