Now is a time where good stories are embraced and needed more than ever. Look no further than what happened in central Michigan.
According to a report from the Battle Creek Enquirer in Battle Creek, Mich., local ER nurse Kelly Spitz sought out some peace on the golf course and found her first career ace.
Spitz recently took the game up an signed up for a membership at Cedar Creek Golf Club. During what she says was her third round ever, Spitz’ driver on a 125-yard par-3 bounced off the cart path, onto the green and soon enough she found it at the bottom of the cup.
“I don’t know if I deserved to get this because of what I do, it’s mostly pure luck, but it was nice,” Spitz told Bill Broderick of the Enquirer. “Certainly, something to enjoy with all that is going on.”
We can all agree on that. Spitz works at Sparrow Hospital, about an hour’s drive from Cedar Creek. Asked about her reaction to the shot, Spitz said she was just happy to reach the green.
“Then it kept rolling, and rolling and then it disappeared,” Spitz said. “Some friends we were playing with ran up and saw the ball was in the hole and started yelling that I had a hole-in-one … . I didn’t believe it at first, then I looked into the hole and there it was … I was shocked.”
Dear Golf Gods, more holes-in-one for health care workers, please!
