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.

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.

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.

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?!

    • 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?
