Guest's ace gets best of host

Hawai'i Prince Golf Club
Hole No. 3, C Course, 147 yards, 4-iron
There is no justice in golf. When Glenn Correa invited me to his home course at Waehu, Maui, he greeted me with: "No one comes to my house and kicks my (bleep)!" What a host.
On Oct. 13, he came to my home turf, the Hawai'i Prince Golf Club for a long awaited four-man match. My partner and I kept the game close until the 12th hole (C3). With a steady left-to-right wind, Glenn, a southpaw, hit a choked down, knocked down 4-iron. As soon as the ball left the clubface, his partner yelled, "It's an ace!" I looked up just in time to see the ball take one hop and dive into the hole. What a guest.
We were shaken we lost the match, and Glenn used our money to pay for the traditional hole-in-one cocktails at my clubhouse, at my home course. Like I said, there is no justice in golf.
