I missed a hole-in-one by less than two feet yesterday, on a 165-yard hole. I’ve knocked 'em close before, but this shot was dead on, rolling straight for the pin! Just a little more juice, and I might have had an ACE! Then again, maybe not.

To finish the hole, I missed the birdie putt and walked away with a par. I’m such a knucklehead.
