None in One

[Rafcin]

How much was the tab?!?!

Wasn't bad... only 5 guys in our group (all other witnesses refused, even though I offered) and they had special on beer pitchers in the clubhouse

I think it was around $60.

A hole in one is pretty impressive, but 9 rounds in 5 days, whoa man!

Not yet

Got one! But you already knew that. So glad I found another place to brag.

"Stroke-of-Luck = Hole-in-One" Nah! Pure skill.

[Rafcin]

...Nah! Pure skill.

I'd not say PURE skill... But sure there is tons of it involved. It's kind of like Poker. Everybody admits, that luck is more important than skills, right? Strangly - every time at the final table you see the same faces, over and over... they must be really lucky, huh?

Hole in one in a PGA event is not that rare, I recall seeing one every 2, 3 tournaments. Skills it is Jeff, don't let the "holeless" people take anything away from us

My first was at a hole-in-one contest that was a charity fundraiser. I made an ace in qualifying (165 yds) but all that did was guarantee a spot in the shootout for $1 million. I won some movie passes and a pizza.

I have never had a hole-in-one unforunately.

Actually, the closest I came was at the Newport Cup last month. I hit a 6-iron at the 4th hole at Anderson Creek that stopped a couple feet from the hole. It was on the right line, it just didn't have enough steam on it. If it would have been an hour later, I might have holed the best shot in Newport Cup history. :)

But I'll go on trying to make one. I'm in the none-in-one club.

No holes-in-one for me.

In fact, the closest I can recall was probably just inside three feet on a little 125-yarder. The thing that made it memorable was that it was during a makeshift "scramble" on a "closest-to-the-pin" hole and the foursome ahead of us included two of my brothers-in-law, one of whom had stopped his about four feet away while the other was video-recording my shot.

Can't say a whole lot about the quality of the video footage but the remarks picked up by the camera mike were priceless though, as one might guess, somewhat off-color. (The family member I "bettered" was jumping up and down indicating that I had the "number one" shot. At least that's what I think the single finger he had raised high in the air meant. )

I had a hole-in-one in 1994. 163 yards. I've also been fortunate enough to hole out from the fairway (100+ yards) 12 times.

Still don't have one. Just missed it Friday afternoon. 183 yard par 3. Elevated tee to a green that has a creek in front. Hit an easy 4 iron that stopped 2 ft to the right of the hole.

[golfchief]

two Aces and a lot of eagles and a couple of double eagles.

[NCGolfer]

Two.

The first was in a college tournament. I hit a 4-iron from about 180 to a slightly uphill green. The bottom of the flag was hidden behind the lip of a bunker, so I didn't see it go in.

The second was in a member-guest tournament. Hit a wedge from about 130 to a downhill green. The ball landed about 3 feet past the pin and spun back into the hole. That was sweet to watch.

What did I win?

A $25 gift certificate for closest to the pin. A cruise was a prize on a different hole.

Do you think it's harder to lip out a hole in one? I think so, but probably cause I've done it
