Played in the mid-week club comp today and one of our better players, off scratch, had a hole in one on the par 4 fourth, which was playing 312 meters (341 yards) to the stick. (The greens staff went back and lasered it afterward.) It's OB right and the wind was behind and from the left quarter, so he hit a smoking cut off the big gum tree protecting the left side. Thought the drive might possibly have made the green but couldn't see it. Checked the left greenside bunker, then went back to see if it tied up in the rough around the tree. Was busy angrily poking the shrubs around the green when the rest of the group went to putt out and the flag tender found his ball in the hole.

Debate now is about how to properly commemorate this mighty blow. The club has very nice wooden boards on the tees of all the par threes with engraved brass plates recording aces. Seems a waste to put one up here, since it'll only ever have one name. But maybe that's the point? Visitors will stand on that box in perpetuity, going: "No ****ing way!"

That is a great shot...  I kind of like them doing the same thing as they do on the par 3s... sure it'll only be one name, but I agree, that's kind of the point.

I vote for the same box on the par four! Definitely! One name, perhaps forever. Awesome!

Wow!!  I vote for the plaque on the tee!  Not a waste at all IMO.  I would want my name being the only one.

That's a pretty rare sight there.  I played a par-3 course today and tried to make a hole-in-one on every hole.  Still waiting....

You need to play a bit more. I am sure in the next 1000 rounds or so you will get one.

That's spectacular. :-) Another vote for putting his name on the tee. (Although it'll make every double bogey on that hole afterward look even more shameful. :-D )

I just came from my old club (where I now just go to hit practice balls) and they have a hole in one honour board in the clubhouse that includes albatross. There are 2 names recorded as having an albatross on the par 4 6th.

One guy from our club got his name on another clubs board for 2 albatrosses on THE SAME HOLE. How the hell do you get 2 on the same hole?

First, you do it once. Then, you do it again.

C'mon, seems pretty obvious to me.

I'd be happy just getting an ace on a par 3. Better order that 48" Cobra driver if I want to reach those par 4s.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 568, May 23, 2024 Loooooooong day today. Got some shadow work done with an umbrella.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 148: 5/23/24 Hit balls on the range measuring ball speed for each club. Recently watched a fitting video where the fitter said he targeted 5 mph ball speed increase for each club.  Mine weren’t quite there. 4 and 5 mph were pretty similar except for 1 ball. Big jump for hybrid, bigger jump for 4-hybrid, and huge change for driver. Swung for the fences with driver and hit them all pretty straight at the end of my session. Several at 111 mph, which is above my normal speed. Finished with chipping release 1 with several clubs.  Good session!

      Birdied 15 at my home course today and made a birdie the other day at a course I don’t usually play. Will update the spreadsheet once I’m home on my computer.

      Day 70. Played 9 at Grand Niagara. Very very windy day, but I hit the ball well for me. The wind did help me hit my longest drive ever at 282y and I did make a birdie on a par 5.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      So, the struggle right now with the driver is that I’m dipping down with the body, shallowing wrongly.  When I try to get my arms down, I end up not turning much at all. End up hitting the sweeping overdraws or if I dip with the body then I’ll hit massive pushes. I’m trying to turn better with the body and also get the arms down at the same time. Easier with the irons than it does the driver. also, here’s an image when you almost entirely missed the ball. 🤣🤣🤣
