One last year.
Was playing alone so ddint count in the books.
made one 14 years ago on a par 3 short course but it was a rabbit killer that went in.

Made eagle last year similar way, rabbitkiller that ended up in hole.
Might use those more since they tend to go in.

I have to revive this thread to say, none until now, but that all changed yesterday!  It was a high little draw 5 wood into a 174 yards pin, a nice looking shot that hardly left the flag. The wind

What about this: yesterday I made my second hole in one. Par 3 180y. Thats special, because my first one was only half a year ago. But even more special, I made it on my birthday.  Believe thats a

None. But I've only been playing golf since the late 1960's, so I'm thinking it will happen as soon as I've been playing a little bit longer.

Sorry if this is dumb, but what is a rabbitkiller shot? Is that a Swedish expression or does everyone use it? Because I've never heard it.

Im guessing it s a "wormburner"...IE: it barely leaves the ground, or just skiffing the top of the ground

Hole in One - sadly none for me...been real close Next best thing was an eagle from 165 yds out - one hop and in

Wormburner's and rabbitkiller's?! Sounds more like pest control than golfing.

The closest I've gotten was on a par 3, probably about 150 to 160 yards. The green was a bit lower than the tee box. I carried a 7i to the front of the green and the ball ended about 5 feet from the hole. Not very close, but I don't think I've done better than that.

Not that it matters in this thread, but a ball hit to a downhill green will actually get less roll, not more. The approach angle is more vertical because of the lower elevation.

This is indeed true if it lands on a flat service. My point was "if it lands going downhill". I didn't know if that first bounce was possible on the end lip of a sloping fairway or on the lip of a green with a harsh initial slope.

I have hit 2 hole in ones in my 30 years of playing golf. First one was a thin pitching wedge that dropped 30 feet before  the hole on the green and had enough spin to slow down and hit the pin and go in. BUT i didn't mean to hit it thin ...lol

2nd one was a perfect 7 iron 165 yards away three feet past the pin and spun back!

I have none.

I can't say I can remember any really even that close.  Maybe 5' was the closest for me?

None yet, but I am hopeful. Came very close once, a few inches away. It was a skulled 6 iron about 160 yards, nothing but luck but I would have taken it.

0.

Closest I came was nailing the crap out of the base of the flag stick on a 145-yard par 3 (No. 3, Community Dales Course, Dayton, OH). The ball bounced backward and darn near went in the water hazard.

I have 3: 

My first was when I was 12. It was 150yd and I hit a 3 wood. I thought it went in the hole but I couldn't tell until we got there. 

My second is my favorite because my dad witnessed it. I hit a wedge from 110 about 20' behind the hole and spun it back in. It was fun to watch it disappear. It felt like slow motion watching it track towards the hole. 

My third was a 230yd  3 hybrid. Beautiful high draw that landed about 10' in front of the hole then rolled in like a putt.

I have 1.  I thinned a 9 Iron from about 125 out.  Luckily, it hit about 20 feet in front of the green, which slowed it down enough to go in.  If it would have hit the green first, it would have gone over and into the tree line behind the green.

0,as in zero. In 40 years of playing at various skill levels.

I've had a few stop 6 inches from the hole but none find the bottom of the cup.

None.  I played my first round in 1966 and have been within tap-in range on occasion; but never had one drop.

Zilch, zip, nada. 

The closest I ever came was an afternoon 9 hole round after work. I was playing by myself and bladed a 6 iron directly into the setting sun. I couldn't see anything, but the contact was bad so I wasn't expecting much. Imagine my surprise to find the ball 2 inches from the hole. Just a single revolution from dropping. 

I'm probably the only guy who can say he was actually relieved that his hole in 1 didn't drop.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
