0-for-career

A woman at work is always giving me a hard time because I play golf all the time but have never gotten a hole in one. She writes a weekly story about an Omahan with an interesting ace story, and she’s always asking, “Did you get one yet?”

Yesterday was my chance for a pretty sweet story and I failed. Since my Sunday Publinks match was canceled, I got a raincheck at Benson Park, which I used yesterday. I thought I was going to get to play by myself (always preferable to the inevitable five-hour round when playing with others).

Instead I got paired with actor John Beasley and his wife.

Alas, no hole in one. There’s only one par 3 on the front nine and I stopped it about 20 feet right of the flag. I think I just got a little too excited about listing an Omaha celebrity as a witness on my scorecard.
