Now Dad isn't into big "ta doos". Hang, his foursome had to prod him into even telling my Mom about it, playing in a different foursome that day.
The fifth hole at Cove Cay was the group's first hole in the shotgun start.
"Dorothy actually shot before Leo and her ball went into the water," Gehring said. "We were all over by the water trying to find the ball and I looked up and Leo was about to hit. I said, 'Hey, somebody has to watch Leo.' So I went up there and saw him hit and it was a pretty good shot. I could tell it went on the green, so when we got up there I didn't see it. I looked in the hole and there it was."
Gehring said Fiyalko reacted with a simple, "How 'bout that," and continued with his round. When he got to the clubhouse after the round, his friends had to prod him to tell his wife, Pat, about the feat.
"When he got back to the clubhouse we told him to tell Pat what he did," said Sue Rogan, who has run the Twilighters for the last seven years. "He said no, he didn't want to. So Pat says, 'I suppose you made a hole-in-one.' He said, 'Yes, I did.'
"I've been doing this for seven years and it's the first one for the Twilighters I can remember."
Dad's take on it all?
Fiyalko doesn't understand what all the fuss is about.
"It was my first hole-in-one, and I never saw it," Fiyalko said. "I was just trying to put the ball on the green."
That's about all he'll say on the subject.
That's my Dad.
