Best kind of hole in one

What do you think the best kind of hole in one is?

I've never had one, but I hope that if I do I can watch the ball go in the hole.

The best I have ever seen live on tv was Miguel Angel Jiménez's hole in one at the Dubai desert classic 2008.

Straight in the hole :) Around 200 yards on a par 3.

That is the best kind of hole in one imo as it looks so classy, though, if you hit it and it checked up and just rolled in like a putt, it would be fantastic to watch. Like Paul Casey in the Ryder Cup:

The only kind of hole in one that matters is one that has witnesses around.

Nothing better than sharing that moment with friends or even people that you dont know.

Was golfing with a few friends. Im in the sand, another is in the woods behind the hole. He tees it up hits it, hops twice on the green, hits the pin and drops. The feeling to have a friend do it is amazing, but I cant imagine what it would feel like to have one for yourself.
The guys on the tee box on the next hole waited to congratulate my friend.

An ace is an ace, it could bounce off a tree and go in and I'd be soo happy for my first hole in one.

Never had one either. Would like the first to be on the first hole of a big invitational tournament when there are several hundred people watching. But then, first hole par 3s are rare; maybe a driveable par 4, but then I have trouble seeing a ball without binoculars over 200 yards away.

I have 4 myself. I was there for my father's first and he was there for mine. Doesn't get much better than that.

[MasterOfTheBogey]

Wow, grats on the 4. Closest I have come is knockn' one off the flag stick to have it roll like 13yds. away from the hole.

Hahaha. I hear you man. I didn't get my first until 4 years ago, then I got 2 last year alone to make 4. Now I bet I won't have another the rest of my days.

An ace is an ace, even if you use a toothpick to get the ball in the hole, and no matter how it gets there, as long as it's there.

Reminds me of one time about three years ago, 160 yard par 3 downhill, with corn field on the left. Buddy hits a big hook right over into the field, bounces off one of those bigassed combines, comes back in play and finishes about twelve inches from the hole. Sum Bitch gets a tap-in bird. Think though, if that'd gone in the hole...

Wow Definatly congrats. Closest I've came is inches about 5 times.

[TourSpoon]

I'll take one anyway I can get one, but if I had to pick I would choose the ball in the jar...bam.

[Three Putt]

There is an uphill par 3 at my course about 145 yards, 30 foot or so elevation. Cant see the ball when it hits the green, really no idea where it is depth wise. Come close within a foot, no aces for me yet...but thats the hole I want it on, I voted for "wait to see if it's in the hole". Wouldn't want a "crap shot" ace though, would want one with a good swing and contact. Got a double eagle on a short par 5 on a bladed 4 iron that hit the pin and dropped straight down...big deal,,,, crappy shot turned lucky.

[Steaksauce]

I came really close to getting two in one round when I was playing in an outing, but unfortunately I still have none. Although, I did win the closest to the pin compettition that day.

This ace is pretty nuts though:

[HeywodJahblomeh]

any kind of hole in one is the best just having that feeling inside of you its amazing

[Wannabe Paper Tiger]

I have never made one but did hit a 5w to about 6 inches and tapped in for eagle this past season. that was sweet. on another note, the kind of ace I would like to have is one where i land it about 2ft past and it comes back to the pin and drops in....

[BDE]

I've never had one, but I honestly wouldn't care one single bit how it came.

My fiance's grandfather got a hole in one this morning! Here is the wording from his email...

A HOLE IN ONE!!! 154 yard par 3 - 17th hole with a five iron hit dead straight but I thought it was short. After Larry, Gene and I looked for it for a while someone thought to look in the hole. A beautiful sight! Thank you Lord for such good luck!

5 years ago 200 yds with a 4 iron over a bunker and in the clowns mouth.Had to sit down for 5 min while my heart pounded.
