it was his first ever in about 40 years of playing weekend golf, and my first time seeing one. it was only a 90 yard par 3 because he was playing from the forward tees due to the fact that he just had total knee replacement about four months ago (he just started playing golf again about two weeks ago). 90 yards or not, i was super proud of him. his ball landed on the very front of the green, rolled about 4 yards, hit the flagstick and plunked right into the hole. he didn't even know he'd gotten a hole in one. he hit his shot and was walking back towards me as i watched his ball, and i said to him "you ever had a hole in one before?" "no?" "well. now you have."

we get to the green, he looks in the hole and says "holy sh*t, you weren't kidding, i really did get a hole in one! i thought you were just fooling with me!"

so that was cool.

I crushed a drive on a short par 4, my teacher said :"The odds of that going in are smaller than getting decapitated by a falling penguin". Obviously, it lipped out and stayed at about a metre from the whole.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
