Sam Houston Hole in One, Mercedes
600, 22 Sep 2008In a tournament on Monday, 22 Sep Sam HOUSTON GOT A HOLE-IN-1!! And there was a 2009 Mercedes Benz parked at the tee box should there be a winner. Well luckily he did it. The shot was 190yds, on the 7th hole at Smoke Rise Country Club, Stone Mt, GA.
And I quote Sam as he brags a little: “Nobody really ever expects to make these million to one shots. I jokingly told my team members that if the distance is 189yds I would hit an "easy" 9 iron....but if it is 190yds (1yd more) I would "bust" a 3 iron. Ha! Ha! I hit the 3 iron then was grounded, mobbed and smothered by many onlookers when the ball rolled into the hole. My wife, Edith, came out afterwards. Since it is a red car I told her, "Its yours".”
Sam was on a roll so he continued by saying, "I HAVE MORE BLESSINGS: By reputation, the most prestigious and desirable golf course to play in the USA is Pebble Beach in Monterey, CA. A while back my younger son who lives in NYC (40 yr old Michael) managed to acquire a long awaited tee-time for the two of us to play the course. He sent me a round trip ticket, Intercontinental Hotel stay, golf, etc. all at his expense!! Exciting, yes. But spending 4 days next week hob-knobbing around with a son... "PRICELESS!!"."
