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.

      My Swing (Rodders129)

      By Rodders129 · Posted

      . I've been Playing Golf for: 10 years, 1 year consistently  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 My typical ball flight is: fade The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: inconsistent ball strike   I caught the bug about a year ago and have been playing roughly once a week. Have been getting better with my short game and putting but my ball striking from tee and fairway lets me down. Had my first lesson last month which identified an over the top swing compensated by an open club face. Have been trying everything to get on plane over the last month. Have found that using a bend and press into my left leg as the trigger for my downswing coupled with finding the turn and rotation in both my arms to release the club properly has helped my get nearer to the correct plane. Video below is where I am with it currently. Haven’t taken this new swing to the course yet! Any comments or suggestions are welcome  Videos:  I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year properly  My current handicap index or average score is: 100 av score

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      That's always been the deal. You put in the work hyper focused on ONE or at most two things, so that you don't have to think about anything except a single feel or the target or something on the course.

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Blind squirrel finds a nut and putted well. no, I decided to play a round being athletic rather than paralyzing myself with swing thoughts. I have no clue if I was doing what I worked on. It was the last day and I was tired of freezing at the top of the swing not know if one of four outcomes were going to happen.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas · Posted

      Day 299 - 2025-07-26 I spent 15 minutes practicing but it was almost pointless. It wasn't good practice. I was not really in it, but I put the time in. Oh, I did some chipping work before-hand, and that was good. I could have just left after that. 🙂
