My first and only (so far) ace was at Pumpkin Ridge – Ghost Creek outside Portland, OR. It was March 27, 2020. Peak pandemic shutdown and Oregon is just nice enough to allow golf courses to stay open. It was my first round of the pandemic, and the cups were flipped. Your putt could still be holed, but it would only be roughly half a ball width below the putting surface. It was also my round playing with a new set of Clevleand wedges. I was playing with a buddy as a twosome when we reached the 16th hole; a 113 yard par 3. With the help of a back to front sloping shelf, my new 54 degree wedge’s unworn grooves helped back the ball off the shelf and into the upside-down cup. I never thought I could have gotten a chip to stay in that cup, let alone a full wedge shot. The bittersweet moment was when we realized the bar was closed due to the shutdown, so I wasn’t even able to buy a round for my witness. The most interesting part in reminiscing on this moment is realizing how that ace propelled me into a solid year of hard work on my golf game, likely because I could remember how great that feeling was. Golf is truly about these moments you’ll never forget.

My first ace came at Crystal Springs Golf Course in Pomeroy, WA when I was 15 years old. It came on Hole #5, a 206-yard straight downhill par 3. I hit a 6-iron off the tee straight at the hole. I knew it had a chance but really didn’t think it would go in as the green on the 5th at Pomeroy is virtually impossible to hold, and from the tee, you cannot see the green. As I approached the green I could not see my ball anywhere and actually looked for the ball everywhere but the hole. When I could not find my ball, I finally checked the hole and there it was; a Super All-Star 300 golf ball hit with a Ram 6-iron. The year was 1977 and the clubs I had back then were complete tour blade-type clubs, which is the way the game was meant to be played. To this date in 2023 I have hit two other aces, which I will describe at another time. Thank you Crystal Springs, Super All-Star 300 golf balls, and Ram Golf for the great memory.
