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.
Whats in my Walter Hagen stand bag.

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
Driver:Titleist 909D2
3 Wood: Tour Edge Exotic
Putter: Odyssey White Hot

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

    • Greg Norman reveals plan for LIV Golf teams to have their own courses LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman wants teams to follow Premier League clubs in having their own home games. Here you go. Enjoy.
    • Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?
    • It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.  
    • I think the $50 fitting price tag is per club. The clubs I am most interested in getting fitted for are irons. And I'd rather not spend a bunch on getting fitted for multiple irons. Would I be fairly safe to assume that choosing something like a 6 or 7 iron for fitting would likely relate to other lofts in the same configuration/make/model?
    • A Mevo is 500. Comes with little decals to hit balls inside too.
