45 years to score an ace [View all]

I've been golfing on and off for 45 years. Today, I finally achieved that elusive ace. 187 yard par 3 with a bit of wind help. Hit the edge of the hole, hitting the stick and staying in the shallow (covid) hole. Also shot an 87 on an par 73 course which for me is a bit good, not the best ever but pretty good. The drinks have been good.
