It additionally occurred to be my a hundredth spherical of golf since returning to the game in August 2024, after present process again surgical procedure 5 years earlier to take away a herniated disc.
It was a stunning blue-sky day, although taking part in circumstances had been difficult, with agency, quick greens and powerful winds. The magic occurred on the island inexperienced at gap No. 14 at Parcours du Cerf – Faon. I used to be second to tee off. The posted distance was 135 yards, however the pink pin location was taking part in nearer to 125 yards. I hit a easy pitching wedge. The ball landed softly on the inexperienced, just a bit proper and in need of the pin, rolled barely and appeared to cease. The boys began saying, “That appears so shut!”
Happy with the outcome, I reached for my tee when, what appeared to occur in gradual movement, the ball disappeared. For a cut up second, we had been all shocked and not sure of what had occurred. Then we realized it had gone in. We instantly began leaping round and celebrating collectively.
I want to prolong a particular thanks to Parcours du Cerf for making this second much more memorable. They offered me with a commemorative bag tag, supplied a complimentary bottle of champagne to share within the clubhouse, and might be including my identify to the plaque on the wall, making this a second I’ll cherish ceaselessly.
