Played in the Pine Needles Invitational
last weekend. 2-man event with a "cut" after the 2nd day. Best ball format first 2 days, alternate shot the last day. Our 6th hole of the day was #1 at Pine Needles, a par 5 at about 500yds. My partner hit his drive to the 230yd marker. Had 242 to the hole. 3hybrid gets me front portion but he talked me into 3wd. Choked up a bit and cut iy loose. Never left the flag. Holed out for a 2. Albatross. Had never been done on the 30yrs of the tournament.

and in the pine needles but it was apparent it wasnt there. I thought it was too much stick (250-265) for my 3wd, but i guess i choked up enough. My pitch mark was about 20ft short but on line. It had to be cruising when it hit the flag!

Great score on a great hole with a wide array of scores
I've seen good players put up big numbers going back and forth between the greenside bunkers

Much bigger deal than a hole in one on a par three! Played Pine Needles in January- great track!
