Had my first hole in one today.  I was struggling with my score up to that hole as I was trying to use the new grip from my lesson and when I got to the 7th hole, Par 3, 160 yards I decided to try and go for the flag in hopes of hitting it close and at least salvaging a par.

I choked down on a 5h because the flag was near the back and I wanted to make sure it didn't fly the green.  The ball flew exactly as I hoped, really high in the air, right over the flag.  When the ball landed my buddy said it's rolling back to the hole but neither of us could see it.  When we drove up, there was no ball on the green (he was in the rough) and he started patting me on the back, telling me it has to be in the hole.  Sure enough, we walked up to the hole and my ball was sitting at the bottom of the cup.

I was in such disbelief I think he was more excited than I was.  It hit me a little when I reported it to the club pro (who was also my instructor on Sunday for my first lesson).  This one will go down in the books, I have the ball set aside until I decide what to do with it.

Sweet!

It's been 2 months since I made my first one and I still can't really believe it.

Thanks guys, I wish I could have seen it go in, but it was nice to see the ball at the bottom of the cup.

It must feel great, and congratulations. :beer:

It feels great to have had it happen but it's almost a bit embarrassing because I know so many better golfers than myself who haven't gotten one yet and are more deserving.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
