"A HOLE-IN-ONE! THE GOLFER'S DREAM!" Carried away with his triumph, Ford acknowledges the well wishes of another golfer by breaking into verse: "'Twas the Danny Thomas Memphis Classic On Wednesday, June the eighth The fifth hole and a five-iron shot Was flying true and straight A Hole-In-One! The Golfer's Dream! For me had now come true That thrill is sweeter yet because A note has come from you." He thanks Knox for sending "congratulations on my big day." Ford's success became known as "the shot heard round the world."
