What's the furthest you've ever holed out from?

Then why does Tom put his name on these?    Another great athlete shilling something he doesn't use.  My dreams are shattered.

Just because he endorses it, doesn't mean that he uses every loft in the line.  Last I read he used a 56° as his highest loft.  A few years ago I believe that it 54°.  His wedge setup for the 2009 Open Championship was Adams Puglielli (52°), Tom Watson (56°).  When he won the 2011 Senior PGA Championship it was Adams Pugielli Wedges - 52° and 56° .

70 yards for me.

I holed out a 75 yard SW for birdie today. 352 yard Par 4, My tee shot went left behind a tree, my only shot was to punch it out back to the fairway, SW one hopped in to the cup.  I have chipped in before but never holed out from the fairway using a full swing.  Almost hit a hole-in-one today too.

120 yards

[Ernest Jones]

About 40 yards from a bunker to an elevated green. All I could see was the top of the flag. Spent 5 mins looking for the ball along the back fringe and rough before my sister said, "maybe it's in the hole." It was. :-D

This thread is back again?   Hmmmmm.....lets see?  Did I mention I have 12 par4 deuces?

HEHE

[RickK]

185 yards for eagle

[Jmdmbike]

About 40 yards. 3rd shot on a long par 4. Played that hole many, many times, and it took my longest hole out to birdie it:~(

[inthehole]

best hole out to date was from a fairway bunker from 45 yards.    3 green side chip in's this year from 45-60 ft.

[Dr Draw]

Haha well I've only ever holed out from the side of the green on a little chip shot. Doubt that counts, but still waiting on that approach that that holes for eagle.

[jsgolfer]

180 yards for an Eagle on a par 5

[jvalhalla]

120 on an absolute fluke. I hitd a 3 iron punch shot with a tree in my way (negating a full swing with a wedge) from inside the depression around the tree. It came out a little hotter than I expected and fortunately hit the side of a hill around the green and went in. Luckiest shot I've ever hit, with no skill involved.

[BuckeyeNut]

Not to be repetitive, but I holed out from 228yds with a 3-iron.........it was all skill...no luck involved!  Hehe..

[mvmac]

Not including par 3s right?  Then it's 150 yards for me.

[BuckeyeNut]

My longest hole outs are from 150-150-164-228yds.

[Golfingdad]

My only long (145 yds, twice) hole outs occurred in the late 90's. In the last 10 years my longest hole out was a 60 or 70 foot putt. Lame. ;)

[bubble]

282 meters, thats about 320 yards.

a tiny par 4 with a 3 wood. HIO for albatros.

otherwise i holed out from 70m (77 yards) 3 times. pretty precise on this half 56° with short finish shot.

Southland GC: Hole 14, Dogleg left par 4. Second shot about 160 yards out in the middle of the fairway. I hit a well-struck 6-iron and watched it sail right at the pin, but I couldn't see where it landed because the green was elevated. When we got up to the green, I didn't see my ball and my buddy said to check in the hole. Yes. It was there for an eagle 2.
