  • my 1st hole in one and nobody saw it

    called at my club on the way to the driving range to get some spikes for my shoes, when i got there the pro shop had just closed, hardly surprising as it was cold and damp so there was nobody about.

    i decided to grab some clubs and have half an hour in the short game practice area. as there was no one around i exchanged the wedges for a 7 iron and a putter and went to the adjacent 1st tee

    i hit 6 tee shots and all 6 hit the green 1 going very close but disapperaring as it was murky i assumed it had overshot the green, when i got up there to putt them i only counted 5. i spent 5 minutes checking the bunkers and round the back of the green to no avail, i putted the balls and then picked 6 out of the hole!

    as they all had my initials on im claiming my 1st ace!

    Sorry mate, doesn't wash. Just like a hunderanatey it only counts it witnessed comps not in practice.

    Well done though you git

        I had my only hole in one about 10yrs ago. 191yd par 3 into the wind. I pulled my 3 wood into the trees on the left. It hit a tree solid, the bounded back onto the green, and into the hole. Probably the ugliest one ever! Just shows you that sometimes the s**t rises to the top!

              I did the same thing in March this year during a practice round, did not even bother to tell anybody. Hoping one day i do it while playing in a group.

                Nice one Ian. I have never hit one, been within an inch many times though.

                    hi
                    i had one but it was a fluke, the ball hit the edge of the bunker as the the sea hole 176 yards and shot out to the left and ran over the green and into the hole. the bunker the ball hit was a good 20 yards to the front right of the green, i was playing in a threesome and got some stick for it too.

                    i was playing in a medal about 20 years ago and was at the third hole playing into a gale and my playing partner hit his driver under the ball and it caught the top of the club and took off straight up in the air. the wind took the ball backwards the ball bounced about 25 feet behind us and run down to banking to the green some 30 feet below us and it rolled over the green into the hole for a hole in one but on the green we had just played. needless to say we were all rolling about in fits as he calmly walked back and retrieved his ball and walked off to the club house.

                    he took some stick for it over the years.
                    cheers

                      Do people seriously think that Slats' shot was a "hole in one"?

                      He hit 6 balls...

                          Ah OK. Just goes to show how accurate you have become and if you keep hitting greens your first real ace can't be too far off.

                          On a side note, a hole in one on a short par three course is not considered an "official" hole in 1, apparently to count the course has to be in excess of a certain total length.

                          Mind you if I was to hit one ball on a par 3 and ace it, I think I would claim it as an ace, so long as I wasn't smacking 2+ balls on each tee.

                            me too

                            my best efforts have been 4 inches away on a 206yd par 3 with a 5 iron
                            and saturday just gone i put a 3 wood to 6ft past the hole on a 256yd
                            par4

                              Holy cow. Those 3 skills have really helped. Best I can get out of a 5 iron is about 170 in the 1 out of 10 times I can hit it. I would have hit a 5 wood on that hole and likely missed the green to the right (or hit it fat).

                              My 3 skills book arrived today, so I have some reading and a lot of practice ahead of me...

                              May I ask how far you were hitting your 5i before 3 skills?
