    Got one ! A little wet friday afternoon golf at Mistwood Golf Club in Romeoville, IL. The front nine was a bit slow but I didn’t mind it as just happy to be out after a busy morning of conference calls. Hole 14 is the course signature Par 3 hole and is also known as Kelpie’s Lookout. The hole looks down across a portion of a big lake to the waiting green. Hurting wind is what golfers faced almost everyday at this hole. Today’s pin placement was 188 yards out and a carry of 168 yards over the after is needed. Played today’s round in almost no wind with another Mistwood member and two public players. Both public players’s shots fell short into the lake while the other member’s shot was also short but safe in the rough. I was up next with a 6 iron as a helping wind started to blow. Hit the ball to 10ft front and 4ft left of the pin as the group started cheering someone getting on green…from this elevated tee box we could all see clearly as the ball rolled forward and slowly to the right and stopped at the edge of the hole and then dropped ! Words spread quickly and Boone bought many rounds of drinks at the club bar, made lots of new friends and following club tradition..bought new golf shoes for the member in the group…luckily I joined the club’s hole-in-one money pool..never expecting to ever get one.
