0 aces for me. But I did get a slam dunk eagle from around 115 yards with my pitching wedge. Straight in the hole. :) By far my best eagle I have ever gotten.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.

A big fat zero... I've been inside 3" two times, but never had one go in the hole.

Lots of eagles and birdies, but never the elusive "1"

Zero------I've had 3 that were hangers with the ball actually hanging over the lip. The last one was in 2009. A group of 5 golfers allowed us to play through a 186 yard par 3. Hit my shot and it looked pretty good so I picked up my tee, relieved that I did not shank one in front of an audience. I was walking to cart when they started hooting and hollering. Surprised I look at them and they pointed to the green. Upshot of it all was it was a very easy birdie.

I have holed out from 162 yards. Best of all that hole out was on the "greens keeper's revenge day where the pins are put on the absolutely most difficult position on the green. That one way of avoiding a knee knocker putt.

One Ace in December 09, 139 yard par 3. 8 iron. Nice swing with my old Spaulding Elites. It hit the green in line with the pin. I looked away to grab my bag and when I looked back the ball was gone. I thought it had rolled over the green so I walked to the back and looked, no ball, walked back to the cup and wow. Bummer, no one to celebrate with, I was a single that day. Twice since then on a another course I hit the green directly in line with the hole on a 135 yard par three, both were easy birdies one was 30 ft the other was 1 ft. Best shot so far came last Saturday, 163 yard par three, this time I'm swinging my new Mizuno MP 68 6 iron the ball hit the green and stopped 1 ft from the hole. Got my props on that one as the course was backed up and I had 7 witnesses. Even better two hole later a guy from another group came up to me on the tee and fist bumped saying great bird shot dude! It was hard getting my hat back on.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

None yet.I hit one to about 11 inches. I played with a guy who made double eagle on a par 5 from 238 out, which was really impressive.

None for me, but I'm gonna get one this year...I can feel it. I don't feel too bad because Bubba Watson has never had one either. Believe that? I was amazed when I heard him say it...it was one of those lessons with the pros episodes on the Golf Channel. I can't believe he's never had an ace.

Last year, a guy at our club had three. Three! That's getting a little greedy. I played with him...he's good, but not that good.

ZERO. Closest was on a 167 yard par 3, a ball that was less than two inches from the hole (ball mark in front and ball rolled about 18 inches forward and must have lipped out) slightly raised green so I could not see it when it landed.

Have holed out from the fairway twice for eagle.

Witnessed my 72 year old grandpa ace one! That was cool!

2 holes in ones. The first one I started with a double boogie on the first hole and because of the ace I ended up shooting even. I also started out playing by myself and on the 5th hole two ladies joined me to witness and signed my scorecard.

Zero, but still trying. In fact, just last week, on two Par 3's in the same round, I stuck the tee shot within a putter face length of the hole (both on the left side - left very nice inverted nipples). Given all the rain we have gotten here in the Northeast, there is not much release or chance for any spin (maybe a good thing after all).

Try none. What's funny is I was at a range the other day and one of their pins was set up at 105 yards and I hit a nice easy gap wedge right in the hole. Hilarious.

I don't think I'm destined to get one. As a young man I was playing this course and they had a straightforward par 3 at about 135-140 yards. I hit a shot that was very high that looked like it came straight down on the stick because it made a sound like it was running down the flagstick (hard to describe). The ball ended up hitting behind the hole, spinning back and hitting the flagstick again and bounced away. If one shot has two chances of going in and doesn't....I don't think the golf gods want me hitting one.

1 ace - came in 2007 when I was 20.

16th hole at Stanwich CC in Greenwich, CT. 170 yard par 3, 7-iron

Cool story...it was my first time playing the course and as we drove up my friend (and college golf teammate) pointed to #16 which you could see and said he got his first hole in one there when he was 14 years old. So we finally get to that hole in the round and he reminded me of the ace again there. The green was elevated and pin was just over a ridge that made it a false-front. My other friend right before me knocked it real tight (ended up being a foot away). My shot was last of the group and was a slight draw that hit the top of the ridge, took one bounce, and disappeared. My friend (who had the prior ace) started jumping up and down certain it was in, but I wasn't sure and afraid it just went past the cup to the back or something. Anyway, he comes over for one of those NFL player jumping "chest-bumps" and I kind of pushed him away because I didn't want to celebrate yet. So we walk up and sure enough it was in. Interestingly, on the next hole (par 5) my eagle shot from 40 yards actually lipped out, but I missed the 18 incher for birdie downhill after all the excitement.

2 in 9 months. The second one was 20 years ago next month. The first was in August of 1989, in the final round of the club championship. Two of us aced the 17th hole just 20 minutes apart and split a $2400 pot. The second one (May 1990) was just during a casual round with a couple of strangers.

Been close many times since, but no more aces.

No aces, but I did stick one an inch from the hole in a tournament and won two round-trip airline tickets.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
