The latest ace report also comes from the Northwest where Rob Ahlschwede himself jarred one on the Eastmoreland Golf Course (1918) in Portland, Ore. Rob remembers it like it was yesterday, which it very nearly was, since he sent this report the following day. The shot was made on Sunday, May 23, 2021, during a Northwest Hickory Players event. “It was the fifth hole,” Rob says, “which played as No. 14 that day as the 9s were reversed. It’s a par 3, 175 yards from the white tees; extremely downhill with the tee perched on top of the hill. I hit a spoon that landed just short of the green, bounced and then rolled to the cup and disappeared. My second ace with hickory!! So there!”
There were several witnesses, Rob hastens to add. “Unfortunately, no photos,” he says. “The cool part was when I went to the cup to retrieve the ball – I was using one with an NWHP logo – the logo was looking right up at me! Didn’t have my phone with me to shoot the pic.”
No worries, Rob, we believe you and congratulate you on your happy shot.
