I was literally about 2 rolls away from one.

I took a pic of the ball, the hole, and the pitch mark it made on the green w/ my cell phone.

It's been my wallpaper on my cell phone ever since.

Everytime I use it, I get reminded of how close I came.

Zero.

I've had a few hole-outs from the fairway - including two in consecutive rounds last summer - but never from the tee. I've mashed the hole a few times (~ an inch from landing in the cup on the fly) but I can't even say how many those resulted in a 2. Oh well, life goes on.

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.


2 (11 years between aces)

First Ace:
145 Yard 2nd Hole at Montrose, CO Golf Club. Hit a solid wedge right into the sun, didn't see anything but thought I hit it well. Got up to the green, saw a huge pitch mark two feet behind the hole, ball was sitting in it. Bing!

Second Ace
197 Yard 17th Hole At Prairieview Golf Club, Byron IL. Slightly elevated green, hit 6 iron and it was all over the stick. Didn't see it go in but the people on the 18th above the hole saw the hole thing. They started hollering. It was pretty cool. Birdied 18 to beat my friend by one stroke that day.

Best shot I've ever seen though? My friends double eagle on a par 5. I don't have any of those, not really even close.

I've had one. It was in 2008 and I shot a 99 that day. Now it's 2010 and my drives are 30 yards further on average, but I still shot a 99 today.

I have had none!!! I have had one hit the bottom of the hole and bounce out as well as a few lip outs. To compound my frustrations on this, I have two double eagles to my credit on par 5s. One from 214 and one from 170.

None, but I've been ridiculously close to one. It was on our short par 3, on the last, I took an 8 iron. I thought I'd hit it awful, cos it went very, very low, and ended up rolling along the floor before it got to the green. Next thing I know, it's sitting on the lip. I could literally have blown it, and it would've gone down. So annoying!

I've had two, both were last season. The first was a 210 slightly downhill 5 iron. I was playing as a single and caught up to a threesome on that hole, so atleast I had witnesses. The second was during our Sunday morning bestball, 145 9 iron. It won me a couple hundred dollars cash and some proshop credit.

I have been golfing for 16 years and I haven't had one yet. I have come about as close as FX's avatar pic. It was heart breaking.

None...but do have a double eagle to my claim to fame :) scorecard and witnesses thank god hahaha

I've had 2, hence my name. First was playing a par 3 course by myself. Short hole, only 102 yards and one hopped it in with a gap wedge. Luckily a couple on the next tee saw it go in so I had a witness and could get it in the local paper. Second one was during a demonstration where I was a counselor at a golf camp. The pro was going over swing plane on a par 3 and was using me as a subject. He asked me to hit one to demonstrate and I did, and aced it 140 yards with a 9 iron. Needless to say the kids were super impressed and it was fun pretending like I did that all the time.

When I was on my high school team I played against a guy that aced the 2 par threes that we played. It was crazy! Needless to say, he beat me, by 3 shots. Other than that I've witnessed two others in my life, one bounced out of the woods and rolled in and the other was just a perfect two bounce then check and in the hole.

I had 2 in the mid eighties,,,don't remember exactly when...same deal as you never happened again.


Very lucky to have had an ace at my club, 8th hole uphill par 3 176 yards to elevated green. Took a light 5 wood didnt even see it fall in the cup! My playing partner putted out while i was looking for my ball & seen mine in the hole :)

Madness! It's obviously very rare to get 2 hole-in-ones in a lifetime from this thread...and that guy got 2 in a round?!

    • I was just thinking about this. 60 majors played in since 2010. 42% of them top 10 finishes. 22% top 5 finishes. My goodness, 9 straight top 10 finishes at the US Open, regarded as the toughest course set up for the Majors. WTH!  That is different than jacked, so no.  No, it doesn't. It is tough to win majors. He is in rare company by winning the career grand slam.  It is much tougher to win majors in the 2010+ years than it was prior.  Look at the most majors list. If you cut it off at 5+ majors. There are 21 golfers ever to have 5+ majors. 17 of them won their first major prior to 1987.  Maybe you could say he should have two more if things go his way. I don't think he should be near 10 or anything like that. 5 is reasonable at this point. He is tied for 15th ever. He probably has like 20 to 28 more competitive major rounds in him.  Maybe in like the short term yes, but he would have gotten used to it in short order. He is a world class athlete in the golfing world. His ability to feel his golf swing is nearly unmatched. To say that him getting a bit bigger in 2014 has impacted him over the next 11 years, without him just figuring it out is really an absurd statement.  Tiger Woods changed his swing like 3x and was elite. He got bigger, not jacked, and was elite.  We are not talking about Olympic weightlifters here, or jacked body-builders. FYI, doing weightlifting through a full range of motion gives you more flexibility. Do you want to know who can get into the deepest squats in the world, people with gigantic legs, the Olympic weightlifters. Want to know who can't get down into a deep squat, lazy people who don't work out.  Could muscle mass as the "extreme" side of things cause some interference in a particular golf motion, sure. Rory isn't even close to being that size.  Yea, it could be mental. Sometimes you just need to get over the hump again even though you have 4 majors in your pocket. You only get 4 chances a year at this. You have to be on your game to have a chance on Sunday. So, for the stars to align for him to have the chances to even learn from his mistakes is not that much. Being T-5, 6 strokes back and not having that pressure on the Sunday is not a learning experience on how to close out a tournament. It makes sense why it could take this long. Also, he is playing against other good golfers. Sometimes, the best golfers in the world get beat. Nope, it isn't. I would agree it was loss of confidence or nerves, plus other golfers just taking it from him than it being related to him working out. I am actually willing to say, it is 0.0000000000000000000000001% related to him working out. So, round that off to ZERO!  Let's not play the victim card here.  He wasn't able to bomb it 330 yards prior to 2014 because he was a kid who still had baby fat on him.  Look at the rolling 10 round average since he started. It looks pretty typical. Lots of ups and downs because you can't be on all the time. Even back in 2014, he never really had a 10 round average were his stroke's gained approach was negative. If you say his size causes him issues, then there should be something crazy here. The dips in 2014 on look the same. Did he have some early year crazy spikes, sure. Sometimes a golfer catches fire for a year. There are things call outliers for a reason.  So, this is probably why you started this. You dislike Rory and want to wish it into existence that he would never win another Master.  Again, you are not the victim here, so stop these self-deprecating comments to try to buy some sympathy.
