On June 24 John Miller made the BMC’s first hole-in-one of the year! Past BMC aces have been recorded on number 7 (several times) and number 5 (once) but, to the knowledge of The Virtual 19th Hole, John’s is the first one on number 17. And not only did he inaugurate 17 with its first BMC ace, he did so in competition, helping Braemar’s 4 Man Over-70 Team win a match against Fox Hollow. John notes that he recently converted to Titleist AVX balls and has been pleased with the change, most notably on the 8-iron shot he hit at 17 on June 24. Bearing in mind the leftward slope down from the right of the green, John landed his shot in the right fringe and his trusty AVX took the break perfectly, rolling right into the cup. As it happens, John also shot his age that day (76).
Congrats, John, on a great shot and a great round!
