I have never had a hole in one. I have come close a couple of times. Once was at a par 9 hole par three course in back to back to back holes no less.On the sixth I hit a wedge that stopped two inches short of the hole, on the seventh I hit another wedge that I pulled and it hit the side of a hill and went ninety degrees to the right hit the cup and did not go in and left me a left me a six inch putt for par, stupid ball. Mt friend looked at me and sail: man you don't get any respect out here do you." Stupid ball! :pound:

I played Lake Forest Golf Club (Ann Arbor, MI) on Friday.  It was cold (35 degrees), breezy and cloudy.  The course was saturated and I struggled with my swing.  The course played long without the aid of some bounce and roll on tee shots.

At any rate, I came to the 8th hole, a 125 yard par 3, after having carded triple, bogey, triple on the previous 3 holes.  8 over par at that point and going nowhere.  Finally a solid strike on the ball was made with my 9 iron.  The ball landed on the front edge and released a bit, rolling a bit behind the front hole position.  I was just happy to have hit a decent shot.  As I walked closer, I could not see my ball around the hole.  The odds of the ball having released and run off the back were small so the first placed I looked was the hole.  Bingo!

My struggles continued for the balance of the round and I shot 89 (70.8/129). At least I salvaged a little joy with my 3rd ace.

4/12/89  I was playing alone and started on the back 9 cause the front was busy. When I came to the first hole to play the front, Geno and Tommy joined me. We made it to the par 3 9th and as I tallied my score, a par would net me an 81. I hit a crisp 155yd 7 iron to the green over a pond. The green was eye level and as it passed the pin it appeared to disappear abruptly....no way...couldn't be...yup, in the hole. I had witnesses, broke 80 and there were only a handful of guys in the bar so it didn't cost me much!

When is a hole in one not a hole in one?

Let me tell you....

Today I played with friends at a big hole scramble.    We teed off on #8 a short 125 yard par 3.    A  severe thunderstorm watch was in effect and we were trying to get in as many holes as we could before the storm.   We we got to 17,  one dumb ass in front of us had grabbed the other's teams keys and threw them into the tall grass area (pot and alcohol were visible).    We decided to play thru.    We finished on #7 and the rain let up and the group behind us was at least two holes back.   We stopped on #8 again to play since we were finished.  It was the 19th hole of a 18 hole tournament.    From 125, I hit a 9 iron, two hops into the hole.   It would have been a skin, closest to the pin and worth some good money. But no...I did have 3 witnesses but alas, it didn't show up on the score card.

I get that, but if you’d have played 8 more holes, it would’ve counted as having occurred during a round.  :-)

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
