We were at an outing for the Iconic Barber Shop St. Judes Annual Golf Event. As we approached the 11th green, I told my friend, Scott Meltzer, that they had offered an all-expense paid trip for 2 to Pebble Beach, Spyglass, and Spanish Bay in previous years for a hole-in-one. He replied, "Well let's do it then!” Turns out, the trip for a hole-in-one was offered again this year! This hole is iconic in the State of New Jersey, as the tee box sits on top of a cliff to a green approximately 100 feet below. The yardage was 177 yards, but with the slope, it was playing approximately 145-150 yards. I decided because the hole was so cool we should record everyone's shot on our phones. My buddy hit a PW right before me and his ball was short into the water, so I switched from a PW to a 9iron. I hit a smooth shot with a nice baby draw right into the green, the ball carried the water and rocks and bounced right on top of the highest elevated part of the green and started to roll right toward the pin. Then the ball dropped in and we all went crazy! Luckily, because this was an outing and the Pebble Beach trip was being offered, a woman was watching to validate if there was a hole-in-one. She also recorded us from the tee box running onto the green to confirm and celebrate! We have multiple views, perspectives, and angles on video that can easily be shared!
