Only been golfing 2 years now and today I hit my first hole in one today, 168 yd par3..... but I didn't see it go in. I lost it in flight but my son saw it and yelled Dad "Hole in one!".  How about you guys.... how many aces?

0... but I ALMOST got an Eagle the other day (par 5). Got to the edge of the green in 2, chipped it, and it bounced off the flag right at the base (would have gone in had the flag been gone). I was ecstatic just to get that. I might hurt someone out of joy if I got a hole in one.

Congrats! That's a huge deal!

I coulda sworn I left the cart right here......

Congratulations, buddy!

I've been playing golf for about 10 years now and I still haven't found the elusive ace. I've come within mere inches a few times, but I've never dropped one. Enjoy that! It will be a memory you'll cherish forever. Especially since your son was there to witness it.

Nice job, RB! Like most, I have yet to hit a hole-in-one.  I'm convinced that if/when it does happen it will be when I'm playing alone and no one will believe me.

Two. Didn't see either. Went 34 years and estimated 14,000 par 3's before I got the first.......Many, Many very close ones.

Two Years!? I have been playing for over 15 years, the last 6 as a scratch player and I still don't have a hole in one! I can't complain, my father played for 30 years without one, and he was a scratch player as well. He did end up finally getting one, in fact he had 3 in six months!

I've had 2... the first one in my club championship in August 1989, the second was the next May in a casual round.  None in the 21 years since.

Does anyone remember the public relations statement put out by Kim Jong Il of North Korea a couple of years ago?

It stated he played golf for the first time and got something like 9 or 11 holes in one.

Funny.

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
