How many Aces for you Guys? Hit my first hole in one today!

[RouteBurner]

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?

Zero! I have only been playing a year though so I am not complaining.

Congrats on the ace! Must have felt great.

[RouteBurner]

Yeah it did, but I wish I could have "saw" it go in the cup.

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!

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.

Zero, in over 30 years!!

See my avatar

Congrats though

That's awesome!! Congratulations!!! I've come close a few times, but haven't had one drop.......maybe one day!!!!

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.

1 at my local course when i was a kid, it was the 17th, downhill 145m with a lake on the left of the green, hit it flush with a 7iron, high fade and 2 bounces and it went in. best day of my life... this was like 10-12 years ago though :(

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 come close, but alas, no cigar.

someday......

im averaging one or two a round. gets me down when i dont have one

[Fourputt]

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.

0 . .  ive had in excess of 50 eagles and 2 albatross' though. Been playing about 7 years

[Grumpter]

30+ years and still at zero.

Congrats man! I'm still awaiting my first one...but actually I almost had one today-twice! First Par 3 was Hole #3 and I stuck it 10 inches away! Second Par 3 was Hole #7 and I hit it right at the pin but it was like 3 feet short...ugh! Can't wait til I finally get one! I'm becoming impatient haha.
