...but it doesn't count!

Took my wife, our six-year-old son, and one of his friends out to our club's par-3 course to just play around and introduce my son's friend to the game. After four holes the kids lost interest and were chasing butterflies.

We headed back to the clubhouse and on the way came to the seventh hole which is 85 meters (93 yards) to an uphill green. I decided to play the hole as the others were moving quite slowly. Took an easy swing without thinking about it too much, the ball hit the green, took one bounce and rolled in the hole as my wife was watching.

A nice feeling, but damn it would have been great if it was a real round on a rated course...

I don't think thats any less worth as a hole-in-one. Sure you can't write it down on a scorecard which you can frame and keep forever, but you have a pretty awesome story to share.

Might not be a regulation hole in one but that must have been one great feeling! I have not holed anything out from more than 20-30 yards. I would love even a sand or pitch hole out.

Congrats to you!!! Hope you get a regulation one real soon~

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      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! 😭
