I think a hole in one whether at a par 3 course or not is pretty cool. Regular golf courses have short holes. Also as far as I know no one complains when the pros make aces on holes that are playing 125 sometimes, they still make SportsCenter lol

I came close on a 135 yarder where the hole was not visible from the tee ( a small mound between green and teebox). It was an SCGA event where they were marking closest to the hole. Someone before me got it real close to the hole; on a dead line from the tee and placed the marker in the same spot.

When I came up over the hill, there was my ball against the marker also on a dead line from the tee...would id have rolled the last few inches and gone in? who knows, but I was stoked anyways.!.I got the birdie anyway!!

I holed one out from about 205 yards once, couldn't find my ball for about 3 minutes!! lol

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
