  1. 1. Who's made a hole in one? How many?

    • I've never had a hole in one
      70
    • I've made ONE - By the grace of God.
      15
    • I've made TWO - I get my share of lucky bounces.
      2
    • I've made THREE - The more I practice, the luckier I become.
      2
    • I've made FOUR or more - I'm THAT good.

I was visiting my Grandparents and went out to play with my Grandpa really early in the morning as this was his regular tee time. It was a 140 yard uphill par 3 with a plateau green. Got up to the top and couldn't see my ball so I started looking over the back of the green and my Gramps looked in the hole and there it was.

The other good thing was that at that time of the morning, I bought like 5 guys a cup of coffee, so it was cheap too!!!! I was in university when I got it, so it was probably around 1990.

Never. The closest call I've ever seen was my friend. He hit a PW. It hit the left edge of the cup (literally, there was a half-ballmark), and ricocheted of the flagstick and bounced to about 7'. His birdie putt lipped out. All that drama for a measly old par.

130 yard Par 3. 9 iron lipped out right side went by about 10 inches and hit birdie putt. Closest ive came. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...&id;=1001296396

Tried to put picture not working i think you can copy the above link not sure.

I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.

Kind of... I did ace a hole, but no witnesses so it doesn't count. I was working at a course back in '98 and jumped on the back 9 early one day. 195 downhill with water in front. Hit a solid shot, tracking all the way but lost it coming down (still dark at 6:30 am). There was a group on the tee near the green and I started yelling for them to check the cup, but they thought I was yelling at them for hitting extra shots or something 'cause they jumped in their cart and sped off!

So... been playing almost 40 years and still waiting.

Weapons of choice:
Irons/wedges: Titleist Tour Grind

First hole in one at Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA 9th hole on a par 3 nine hole course.

maybe you'd have more if you weren't dancing around the course.

who told you it doesn't count if you're alone. it may not be as nice cause you don't have anybody to celebrate with, but it's still a 1.

I got a Hole in One on a Par 3 Golf course,should this count as a proper one?
It was a 160yard hole so it's not like it was a little pitch and putt course..
Would it count as a proper hole in one?

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
