It was December 4th, 2022, and an early start for me with a 7:15am tee time. That day was day two at the National Championship with the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour in Winter Garden, Florida. I was paired up in a 2-some with my partner Wils. I wasn't having the best of rounds just as I had the day before mostly because I was used to the much slower greens up north. That was until hole 14 rolled around, it was a par 4 and I had pushed my drive out to the right and I had just barely been off the fairway. Unfortunately at the time, but as luck would have it, on the next shot I ended up hooking my iron and landed in a fairway bunker on the other side. While walking over to the bunker to hit my next shot I see a bright yellow Titleist Pro v1, and I knew it wasn't anyone else's ball so I decided to pick it up and put it into my push cart. I finished out the hole with my regular maxfli orange balls, and went to go talk to a tournament official. Once I had finished talking to the tournament official I had to rush over to hole 15 (the HIO par 3) and hit my shot. I took out my rangefinder and shot the pin at 167 yards from the HJGT tournament tees. I had decided to play the Titleist ball on this hole because my Aunt had been telling me for months that my orange balls were hurting my game and I should be playing a different ball. She told me to play Titleist because that is what her golfing podcast had told her was the best for hitting and holding greens so I had finally decided to try it out. I personally was never too much of a Titleist fan because the balls were always extremely expensive and I had only been playing for about a year so I never really got to see much a difference in balls. But I just wanted to get my Aunt off my back and tell her how my orange balls were the best that there is for me and the only way I could of done that was by proving her wrong with a bad shot on this Titleist Pro v1 that I just found. Because I was a bit more rushed in my shot coming over from a tournament official I didn't really take much time to line up or practice swing and I wasn't hitting the best anyways so there was no need to hold everyone up. I took the club back and hit the Titleist. The ball flight was the best I had seen all day, and it soared through the air staying up in the air for about 10 seconds before it landed softly on the green 3 yards in front of the pin, and it started to roll straight at the pin. I said to myself "please go in" and then the ball disappeared. Everyone who saw it started screaming and I ran over to my mom who was caddying for me and gave her a hug. Everyone was in shock that I had just hit a hole in one. The tournament Official rushed over because she heard the screaming and everyone was still in shock as we walked on over to the green. The most insane part was that it was the first time in a long time I had found a pro v1 and hit it, and my view on Pro V1's had absolutely changed. I LOVE Pro V 1's
