Memories I have treasured for a very long time.Īs for my hole-in-one at Spring Lakes last Thursday, it was very special. George’s as a patron to see Sandra Post and Dawn Coe Jones a few years back, and this year, to see Rory win his second Canadian Open. As a resident of Unionville, I travelled to Glen Abbey for several years, Hamilton twice, Angus Glen twice, and to the Legends of Niagara when the LPGA was played there. I attended St. I was proud to serve as a Marshall at more than 15 Canadian Opens. I have been a long-time supporter of Golf Canada since moving from Quebec to Ontario in 1982. I told him that I was glad I had witnesses as he wouldn’t have believed it otherwise. “The shot that keeps you coming back” as my wonderful husband tells me. The ladies (both members of the course) were talking about the difficulty of the hole and how they’d never seen a hole-in-one before I teed off, unbeknownst to me. As we got up to the green, Claire called out that it was a hole-in-one, but I thought she was messing around. I laughed and was surprised when I walked up to see the ball in the hole! I watched my ball roll up the slope and over it as it disappeared from our sight line. Using my 7 iron, I hit a crisp clean shot that landed just a little short of my mark. I figured if I missed the slope before the green, I would be in trouble, so I aimed for the middle of the slope. The green was oddly sloped with the pin middle of the green at approximately 114 yards. We were on the 13th tee box where a gully separates it from the 13th hole. After having a mediocre first nine holes, I was looking forward to the back nine. On September 3, 2022, I spent the afternoon golfing with my aunt, Jackie Stewart, and her friend, Claire, at the Earl Grey Golf Club in Calgary.
