Funny thing happened this morning.
We were playing in our Saturday comp and there was a new guy in the group ahead of me. He was putting in his first card for handicap.
Seemed to have a nice,easy swing.
As I was walking towards the 2nd green, I watched him hit his tee shot on the par three 3rd, (about 140 metres). I saw it bounce about 5 metres from the pin and roll in.
I thought the guys on the tee weren't aware of it because the lip of a greenside bunker obscured their view. There was no reaction at all and they walked off the tee.
I said "That went in, you know", and they said "Yeah, we know".
That was it. Quite funny.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Aces should be celebrated like it's New Year's Eve (day?) at 2400 hours less the kissing. Sounds like that group needed to loosen up a bit.

I would play in a different group for sure. If I scored a hole in one or holed out from 140 meters (even if I wiffed on my first attempt), there better be some high fives.

Wow, how regularly must you hit holes in one to not make a big deal of it? When I get my first it's going to be like I just won the lottery!

I freak out on chip-in birdies.....I cant even imagine what I'm gonna do when I find the cup from the tee.

I give fist-pumps for chip-ins period.

I asked him later if it was his firts ace and he said that it was. The other guys in the foursome didn'ty seem very interested.

This brings up a good question. You score an ace, but your playing partners don't congratulate you or even seem to notice. Do you still buy them drinks at the end of the round? I say you still have to buy them drinks (one round only).

I say buy one round. When his new friends (story sounded like 1 part newb and 3 parts sour grapes) ask about his hole in one, he can honestly say he bought a round for his playing partners.

Congratulations, my friend. If I were with you, you'd be drinking for free all day.

Awesome. Edit to add, I misread it to think you got the Ace. I've been drinking a little. I'd probably buy you a few anyway. I'm in a charitable mood today.

I almost had one a few weeks ago.. bounced and rolled hit the pin and rolled about a foot away. I celebrated like it went in even though I knew it stayed out. That's crazy talk not celebrating an ace. Even some pros flip out, anyone see Michelle Wie's first pro hole in one?

Just thought I'd share this:

I was at a local course on a long par 5 when I see this guy, about 250 yards out, hole his shot. From what I could see he had no reaction what-so-ever. He just picked up his clubs and started walking towards the hole, then grabbed his ball out of it with a completley straight face. The whole time me and my buddies are standing at the next tee just gazing in amazement. When he walked to the tee I asked him, "was that a double eagle?" he says "no, triple bogey." He joined our group and not one of us said a word for the next 2 holes.

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
