Guess whose Dad got his 5th hole in one last week? MINE.
The guy is a legend.
When I asked him if it was luck or skill that enabled him to get yet another hole in one he simply replied, “Yes”…because funny runs in the family.
Can you imagine what that must feel like? I can not because golf does not run in the family. Ok, scratch that. Golf runs in my family, just not in me.
But, it got me thinking.
When was the last time I had a hole-in-one kind of moment?
Was it when I placed 8th in the state swim meet for 100 meter breaststroke for the entire state of Rhode Island? [Grin!] Or was it when I crossed the finish line at my (one and only) triathlon? Or was it when I set a personal record deadlifting a few weeks ago?
Nope.
It was when I heard my dad made this shot.
Congratulations, Dad!
When was your last hole-in-one kind of moment?
Now I really must go tell my driver it’s time to go hit the iron.

April 21st 2010Wow, your dad’s pretty amazing, huh? Because I take it you don’t mean he got a hole in one at mini golf. (Which is also difficult, I may add!) Honestly, I can’t think of any hole in one moments recently. But middle of the pack is OK, right? Right?

April 21st 2010I had a hole-in-one moment yesterday during a run with the hubs at lunch. I did my PR for a 5k distance shaving more than 30 seconds off my original PR. Woohoo.

April 21st 2010Good for your Dad!! My dad just visited me. After a few pleasantries, based on what I said to him, he told me this joke: There are three stages in life: Youth…Adult…and Gee you look good!!
Lance says:

There was the time I finished second in my age division in a 5k – that felt like a hole in one!! (well…until I realized my age division only had two participants…)
