If a tree falls in the forest...

Have you had an ace that no one could confirm because there were no witnesses?

Happened to me a few years ago. I was playing speed golf on a big course and I had my (only) hole-in-one. But there was no one there to see it. I was playing by myself and it was a tucked away par-3, so I couldn't even wave at anyone and have them be the witness.

So I get in the clubhouse and say I aced such-and-such a hole. They said, "Where's your witness."

My first thought was, "My word is my witness."

About 8 years ago I had an ace on a 230 yard par 3 with a driver while playing by myself. I've only played by myself about 8 or 10 times, and it figures an ace came with no witnesses. It was my second ace (I've had a third since) and I didn't care whether anyone believed me or not because I know its legit. I didn't bother telling them in the clubhouse since I had no witness.

Plus, then you'd have to buy the drinks.

I've never had a hole-in-one. I think there's an older thread on here about the None-in-One Club. I'm a member.

I've got something worse than all of you. My last hole in one came in a member-guest. $200 for entry fees and what do you think I won?

$25 gift certificate for closest to the pin. They had a trip on one of the par threes, but not that one.

Good thing you only won the $25, Dave, or you may not be able to play in the U.S. Amateur!
