Sam Houston Hole in One, Mercedes

In 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!!"."
