Just finished a 9 hole round at our local 9 hole course where holes range from 70-160 yards. Only 3 holes would qualify as "real" par 3's. But still I made a hole in one from about 70 yards out with my sand wedge. 

The best part was finishing the 9 holes -1. Should have been -2 (had a birdie also) but I 3 putted from 20' (came to about 4' with my first putt and was just 1" left for par) 

 

Now I'll probably be waiting 10 years for my next one (or a first one on a real course).

First off, "real" par 3s are anywhere from 80 yds to 250 yds. The Postage Stamp, one of the great par 3s in the world, plays at only 85-90 yds.

Thanks guys. It really is a one of a kind feeling when you see the ball roll over the green and then it just disappears:)

Congrats on your ace!  As was said earlier, don't forget to claim your achievement.  I've never had an ace, even on a par-3 course.
