We were playing as a foursome in the Alberta Golf Tour Championship, the first of four rounds. I hadn’t exactly been lighting it up on the front nine, but then came the 12th hole at Wildstone. It was playing 156 yards that day.

I pulled out my 6-iron, aimed for a little baby draw, and let it go. The ball came in perfectly, landed about 10 feet short of the pin, and started rolling. We all just watched as it tracked straight toward the cup… and then it dropped.

My first ever hole-in-one. I couldn’t believe it. From a rough start to a memory I’ll never forget—that shot made the entire tournament.
