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!!!

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
