Hole-in-one

By God, he’s done it. KK’s gone and got his first golf hole-in-one.  For a golf idiot like me, I figure it’s sort of like the holy grail of golf: The player hits the ball from far far away, the ball lands, it magically rolls into the tiny hole and everyone rubs their eyes wondering if it had happened at all before raising a cheer.  It takes some skill and a helluva lot of luck, which led me to wonder if my husband (and us by association) is finally getting lucky.  For the record, the ace took place at the NSRCC golf course at Changi, on the Army Course hole 7, which is par 3 meaning (I think) that it takes a professional three strokes for the ball to get in. His name, apparently, might be inscribed on the club’s board for posterity, something I laugh at since his golf handicap is 19.  If this were a charity tournament, he might have won a car.  But since it’s the Tunneling and Underground Construction Society of Singapore, he won a Mitsubishi inverter air-con: Which is more than either
