Played Grand Bear in Biloxi today. Absolutely perfect day. Got off to a good start bogey, par , birdie, par. Then we caught up to the 8some (yes8!). Obviously things got slow.
Until hole 7, 150 par 3, HOLE IN ONE !
Never saw it go in. Hit a decent shot, saw it on the green and thought I saw it stop. When we get to the green we can't find it. I hit a draw so thought maybe it rolled into the left bunker. My w8fe says " Maybe it's in the hole", she looks and there it is. Second one in two years after going 0 for 20 years.
Meanwhile there's now 3 groups backed up as the 8some finishes 9. I call the clubhouse and the guy says he'll talk to them. We get to 10 and the guys ahead of us haven't teed off. Look down the fairway and the 8 some hasn't split up. Now the guys behind us are seething. They call the clubhouse and a kid comes out to talk to them. Passes us and says they'll wait for you and let you play through. Of course they don't let us play through. The foursome behind us are livid. They are likely not finishing. They call again. Didn't see anybody come out but the 8 some quits after 15. Things pick up a bit and we finish in 5 hours and 10 minutes.
