hole in one

Mi tío once even hit a hole in one at the Pico Rivera Golf Club, and loved to trot out the trophy he received for it every time Chuck — who has yet to hit one — came over for dinner.

He was buried with the ball with which he got his hole in one.

“I nearly got a hole in one,” he responds in Spanish, pronouncing it like “a holy one.”

If you made a hole in one as your last shot, well, so what?”

He continued to act, appearing in a number of small roles, such as the best friend of a college golfer in the comedy “Hole in One.”
