I was playing a quick fire (back) 9 holes on my local.

It was quite a windy afternoon, so instead of hitting my usual 5 iron, i decided to choke-down on my 3 iron.

I hit it so flush, lower boring trajectory with a touch of fade cutting/resisting into the strong right to left.

Landed 1-2 yards off the green, roled right up into the whole. The best thing about it, a group of 4 called me on and they were going nuts!

That was the first time i actually hit that 3 iron in a round!

Last time I had an ace was about 10 years ago in a junior comp when i was 15/16!

nb: i actually hit a double bogey 7 on the next par 5 hole. haha!

Congratulations!

I've played for over 40 years, and have never seen one!

I've seen two guys hit dead cold shanks, reload on the teebox, and then knock it into the jar. One still thinks he got a hole-in-one and won't take "no" for an answer........the other I bought a plaque and had it engraved "hole-in-three" for him. Best $'s I ever spent!

That's awesome!! Congratulations. I know that had to feel goooooood.

I just scored my 2nd eagle ever last week. Let's have a competition. I bet I'll get my 3rd eagle before you get your 3rd hole in one.

Nice one. I saw my first hole-in-one on the weekend. A mate of mine hit a beautiful fade shot that hunted the flag down, it landed a foot left of the hole, hopped forward and then spun back in. It was his first Hole-in-one in nearly 40 years of playing, cost me and my other mate a big steak dinner. That's the ongoing bet, score a hole in one and your partners take you on a big night out. Funny enough, score an albatross (Double Eagle) like I did and you get nothing. I've never had a hole-in-one, but then again I've "only" been playing for 20 years. Plenty of time left.

Great job on your hole in one!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes taking more club and hitting it flush are the secrets.

Windy days can really demand creativity. Glad you were able to meet the challenge head on.


Awesome.

I'm sure if it ever happens for me, that I'll follow up on the next hole with big humbers, too.

Sorry for taking so long - it was the Par 5 6th hole at Albert Park, a popular course right in the middle of Melbourne (For F1 car racing fans, the race track for the Melbourne Grand Prix goes right past the course) - I hit Driver, then a #2 hybrid into the hole from about 220 yards. Didn't even see it go in. I didn't have my glasses on and it was too far away. My playing partner said "I think that went in", I thought "no chance, must have rolled through the green" but got to the hole and there it was smiling up at me. Fortunately I put it straight back into the bag and it's at home now.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
