I am not a golfer,but I must admit I love to watch the PGA's etc on occasion,one of my favorite computer games is a PGA tour game I have.
MY question is...........Have any of you folks ever made a hole in 1 before????

I've made two. One was on a 138 yard par three with a nine iron 16 years ago. The other was on a 185 par 3 just last year at our local club with a six iron.

You bet! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Did it when I was in high school on a 112 yard par 3. Used a Pitching Wedge and put it on one bounce! What a thrill!! /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

What was funny, though, was back then you could record the hole in one with the PGA Hole-In-One Club of America. But to have it count, you needed to have a witness (one who actually saw the event! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif) and you needed to complete the round you were playing.

Well, I was playing after school in the spring, and it was getting dark fast! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif When we got to the 18th, which was a long par 4, I teed off with a 9 iron just so I could see where the ball landed. I think it took me 8 or 9 strokes to get in! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

A few weeks after I had recorded the hole-in-one, I started getting all these offers to have my ball mounted on a plaque, or I was eligible for a raffle from the manufacturer of my kind of golf shoes, etc. But the best one I got was a free steak dinner in Connecticut! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I figured a guy who got a hole-in-one in Connecticut got a free steak dinner in Wisconsin. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Oh yeah. My son, who is 23, has had 3 of them!! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Never a hole in one (except for several at miniature golf /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif) and only one eagle on a par 4 hole. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I've never played golf, but I did record a 23 for 18 holes of Putt-Putt. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I know you real golfers are laughing at me now, but grab your putter and try matching that sometime. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
