The day I beat Walter Hagen ! Hagens Follly is a 145 yd par 3 over a ravine to an elevated green - legend says he was leading the PA championship & took a 8 on the hole & lost ! 70 years later it was my turn & I amazingly hit the green & made about a 30 ft putt for my first birdie - only the story makes it memorable ...

Mine was just a few days ago - a par 3 hole in one. The only problem was the "hole" was a drainage culvert about 25 yards left of the green! My 9 year old son thought it was "AWESOME!" And I got a gi

Junior High golf tryouts - We were at the driving range, I hit way underneath the ball. The ball went straight up into the air about up to my waist, back down, and landed right back on the rubber tee

Hole in one! Playing at 140 yard 5 hole with rental clubs Pulled out 8 iron and it sail exactly how I wanted a bit of fade/push/slice to the right side of the green where the flagstick was The green was slightly elevated and we were able to see the ball suddenly disappear at it roll a bit on the green I never play this course before and wasn't going to get excited until I walked on the green cause I wasn't sure if the ball just disappeared cause it just roll off the green Anyway I ran up to the pin and saw my ball in the cup I was really elated. The only thing I did different was trying a vardon type grip where my pinkie was pressing over my left forefinger. I tried to play with that grip rest of round but no more hole in one. My left hand felt sore afterwards. Maybe I will switch from my interlock grip.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
