I often go to the golf course on Derby afternoon. It’s a great time for hackers like me to play because almost no one is on the course; nearly everyone in Louisville is at Churchill Downs or a Derby party of some kind.

Saturday afternoon I played with Bob Dabney, Jim Schory and Megan McKinney and an amazing thing happened. On hole #15 at Lake Forest Country Club I got my second hole in one this year! This is incredible! There are a number of guys, like Jim Schory, who are much better golfers than I who have played all their lives and never had a hole in one.

For me to get two holes in one within three months of each other is little short of a miracle! Could this be one of the signs that the end is near? Acts 2:19 says there will be wonders in the heaven above and signs on the
earth below”!

Regardless, I had a great time with Christian friends and unlike many who were at the track, I have no hangover and no regrets about money gambled away.

By the way, this was my first time to play with Megan McKinney, who grew up at Southeast, was on the women’s golf team at Christian Academy and then was one of the best players at Murray State University. She is now an assistant pro at Wildwood CC. She was out-driving the three men by at least 20 yards which was impressive. (But then I realized all of us are in our 60’s and Megan is in her 20’s). She really humbled us by shooting a 77 at Lake Forest, a fairly difficult course.

She beat me by 11 strokes……
….She didn’t have a hole in one though……
