Ace on a Par 4. Nice!

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.

I'm usually even pretty happy with birdies! ;-)

Definitely give that guy a plaque all to himself. Anything less is a shame.

I've actually come close on 2 occasions, to holing out on a par 4, however they were very short par 4s at my local course. The one is "286 yards" from the blues but there is a significant down-slope 20 yards before the green that is about 50 feet high and angled to the green. On this hole, you can carry a drive around 230-240 to actually hit the green. I did this on one occasion and as our group drove to the top of the hill on the cart path, we saw one ball which was 8 inches from the cup, being mine. My ball mark (more like a crater) was on the fringe and rolled out about 5 feet only. My buddies and my father were with me so it was really something (yes I did make the Eagle putt lol).

The other occasion was a severe dogleg right. You can either play the curvature of the fairway and hit a fade/slice to the green or simply take a straight shot over the tree line. The hole plays 296 to the cup but again, this can be reached with 235-240 if you're able to get enough loft on your driver and play over the tree-line. We came to the green to see that a ball was at rest only one foot from the green. This one I personally don't consider "close" (close doesn't count anyway, I know that) because I missed the eagle putt due to the severe break.

Aside from this, I've been inches away numerous times on Par 3s and still hoping I'll be able to one day claim an Ace to myself.

I've had 3 aces & numerous hole-outs from the fairway for eagles on par 4s & 5s...but never an ace on a par 4. Hit the pin once on a 280-yard par 4 & had a 2 inch eagle putt.

That is just freekin' awesome that you made one!

Definitely give that guy a plaque! What an amazing accomplishment!

I have come close myself, 265 yard par 4 in a scramble event playing with my dad my uncle and his friend. My buddy and his family were in the group ahead and watched the shot. I found out when I got to the green that the stick kept the ball out of the hole!

Wow, insane!
