Woohoo

I got my first ever hole in one today!

But its on a par 3 course, not a complete golf course...

But its still my first ever hole in one!

I got the hole in one on the 5th hole, 65 yards shot with a water hazard before the green.

I was so excited. The line was absolutely perfect, the ball dropped less than 2 feet before the hole and rolled in. It was such a nice hit and to actually watch the ball dissapear right before my eyes was like a dream come true.

I was actually playing alone and was pretty much the only one playing on that course at that time. But luckily, the greenkeepers saw the hole in one too! Mario, one of the greenkeepers was actually watching me play the shot and immediately when the ball went in, he was so excited and started shouting 'hole in one!' and clapped his hands in appreciation. I was quite surprised but glad that someone else saw the shot too cause I was almost in dismay that no one witnessed my first ever hole in one.

And he was so nice that he came up to me after that and called the course marshall to make sure that my hole in one is appreciated. We signed the scorecard and they said that they will send me a hole in one certificate. How awesome! I did not expect to be appreciated as it is only a par 3 course.

The par 3 course was on the Dubai Creek Golf Club. Here is a picture of the course and the clubhouse (with its infamous sails).
