  1. I was diagnosed with tendonitis in September of last year. I haven't been able to play a round of golf since August of 2023. I tried physical therapy, heat treatment, everything. My grandpa told me that I should get a PRP treatment done. Thankfully he was very good friends with a doctor who did it and got me in quickly when it could have been a 3-month wait. I got the treatment done on April 17, and the doctor told me to wait until April 26 to play golf at all. I played with one of my best friends and shot 42, which is not great for me but I was happy with that since I haven't been able to play in 8 months. He asked if I wanted to play again today and I couldn't resist. The day was off to a rough start I started Bogey, Double, lost ball for a double bogey going into the 4th hole which was a par 3. I had found this yellow pro v1 in the woods looking for my ball on 3, I decided to start playing it. There were around 20 mph winds all day with gusts up to 40 mph. The flag was in the front and it was 145 yards away dead into the wind. I grabbed 7 iron and was over the ball about to hit when my friend said he didn't think 7 was enough and that 6 was the best option with how strong the wind was. My friend and I discussed what we should do and what shot we should hit, we decided the best option for both of us was a flighted 6 iron. I hit first, and it could not have been a more perfect of a shot. It landed about 5 feet before the pin, bounced once, and rolled into the hole. It felt like a dream for a second, I turned around to my friend and we both started going crazy. I could not believe that I had made my second hole-in-one. I made my first hole-in-one when I was 7 playing with my great-grandpa, I hit driver on an 88-yard hole up the hill and it magically went in. I couldn't see that one go in or even know the significance of what I had just accomplished. Being 19 and not being able to compete for the past 8 months while being a collegiate golfer made this so much more special for me.
