Was playing at the UBC golf course up in Vancouver.. finished up and was getting a drink and saw the 'hole in 1' board..

there was one guy who got two spots, highlighted in red.. thought - oh cool he got two aces.. that's amazing.

Look closer, and holy @#$!  The two came on the same day, the two par 3s on the front 9..  wow..

How rare is that? it seems to be essentially "impossible".. but wanted to see others experiences..

Odds of 67 million to 1.

Should have bought a lottery ticket.

A local guy In Albany got 3 in one month, and a 14 year old got one with his first swing ever on a golf course. http://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/Gish-McCormick-Carroll-defy-golfing-odds-4699745.php

I read about something similar to this is the latest Golf Digest or Golf Magazine. It was one of those things where they ask a bunch of different questions and get the short answers, going for a couple pages like that. I think it was the Bethpage Black head pro (if I remember the correct article) where he got his first hole in one, then hit another one right after after that wrapped in the flag and dropped in. At least that's what he said for the article.

We had a guy who made 2 aces in one of our monthly MGA tournaments this year.  As stated previously, the odds are 1 in 67million.  He was kinda funny about it.  Said it was the only way he could break 80.

    • Day 36 (16 Dec 25) - continued the exaggerated left foot weight shift trigger adding some easy low flighted pitches with the 5h and a few putting style bump and runs with the 5h as well.
    • Day 442 - 2025-12-16 Got some swings in at an indoor academy a little south of Erie.
    • Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
