Gavin Rathbun with an ACE on the island hole!!! #SCTop10 | Disc Golf Pro Tour

George Strait’s song “Ace in the Hole” is about having an advantage in life—a hidden strength or strategy that helps you get ahead, especially when things get tough. On the surface, the lyrics use a poker metaphor: in cards, an “ace in the hole” is a secret ace that can win the game. But Strait uses it to talk about real life—how everyone needs something (or someone) that gives them an edge. It could be talent, hard work, faith, connections, or a supportive friend who helps you through. #country
