I never thought it would happen, but on 5th January 2023 and approximately 12.30pm I got my first, and possible last hole in one. I have been close sooo many times, even hitting the flag, and the ball rolling over the hole, but this time it went in. It was a par three on the course I am a member of, and it is a blind hole. I could see the top of the flag, and I knew the ball would be close. I jokingly said to my playing partners "I will be disappointed if that isn't a hole in one". They both took their shots, and whilst both of them put their balls on the green, it was obvious neither were close to the hole. We walked to the green, but my ball wasn't visible. My first thoughts were it may be in a bunker, as there were two fairly close to the pin. My playing colleague walked to the flag and said "well, you're not going to be disappointed". It was bash, and as a result I won £18, however, the bar bill was £32. The ball and the scorecard have been retired now. 😀

Congrats! That bar bill feels like you got off pretty inexpensively, so… another cause for celebration! 😄

There were only 9 of us in the bash. During the summer it would have been more than 20, so not too bad.

Super!

Too bad you couldn't see the ball go in the hole. But in the end, it doesn't matter. You've got a story to tell: my ball was nowhere to be found until my buddy looked in the hole... and there it was! :banana::beer:

Congrats!!!👏 I've had 3 aces and only saw one of them go in the hole.  Don't ever say you won't get another.  Keep hittin' 'em straight and Lady Luck will surely smile on one of them!!!

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
