Mr. K's important items

The first important item that I own is my golfball that I used for my hole in one.  I remember the day like it was yesterday.  I approached the 8th tee at Tangle Creek golf course with minimal confidence after struggling through the first 7 holes.  The hole was playing 177 yards with the wind at my back.  When I hit the ball on the clubface it soared through the air, bounced on the green and rolled into the hole.  It was a moment that I will never forget!  According to Golf digest the odds of an amateur getting a hole in one is 1 in 12 750.
