A Hole In One

[CountryBoy]

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????

Inside of a foot, but never in the hole. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

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.

Excuse me... does miniature golf count...? /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

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

Him: I'm a pro golfer!

Her: really, do you know Tiger Woods?

Him: er, well, hmm, actually I am aPut-Put pro golfer

My son made one when he was ten. He used to go golf when no one else in their right mind would go out there. The heat of the day. It was the only way he could compete for a tee time wih the Florida senior golfers. They wanted the course in the early morning and the late afternoon, so he worked a deal with Bobby Jones Golf course that he could go and golf how ever many rounds he could fit in during those off peak hours at a discounted rate, with a cart.

I can't remember what hole he was on, I have the newspaper clipping somewhere, but some other guy happened to be out there at the same time or no one would have ever believed him. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sounds like you're more up on this than me. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I knew they had one when I played. Of course that was 35-40 years ago when I had to ride my bike over there. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
