  • I had one on about a 120 yard par 3 with a PW. It was in a golf league about 25 years ago. I accidently knocked the ball of the tee twice. After the 2nd time I was getting pissed, so I just put back on the tee and hit it with going through my normal pre-shot routine.

  • Par 3, 150yd. #4 on the old Waverly course. Hit a very high 7 iron that that just bounce bounced and in. Had a 10 on the next hold...not a single fuck was given.

  • Slam dunk from 134. Never bounced...dead swish. I always told my friends if I ever made a hole in one, I was gonna pick the ball out of the hole, walk off the course, and never play again. But i finished the round and kept playing.....until...

    A couple of years ago, with the same three guys, holed out from 218 with a 5 wood on a par 5. Picked my ball out of the hole and told them I would meet them at the bar (we were on #12). Walked off the course and have not picked up a club since.

    Came real close Sunday night on 17 at Shepherd's Hollow. 8 iron from 155. Ball spun back a bit and took the slope and stopped a foot away. Not sure how it stopped, I had a short downhill putt I had to give a love tap to. Had that ball kept going, it would have went in. I made the birdie putt.

    Closest I ever came was after the ball hit a foot from the hole and bounced, hitting the pin before resting about an inch from the cup. That was about 30 years ago. Had to give up golf about 15 years ago because of impingement syndrome in my shoulders. My orthopedic surgeon said the cause was repeated blunt force trauma to my shoulders. All those years of playing hockey and football finally took their toll on my body.

    My father recorded his only hole-in-one at the age of 84 on a par 3 145 yard hole. He didn't see the ball go in because the green was at a higher elevation than the tee, but there were a bunch of people standing near the green who started to cheer when they heard the ball drop and watched it roll into the cup. They all waited to find out who the owner of the ball was to congratulate my dad.

    Well done. Isn't an albatross less common than a hole in one?

    Correct. A double eagle on a par 5 is harder to get than a hole in one.

    If you look at the Modified Stableford scoring system used this past weekend in the celebrity tournament on NBC, an albatross was worth 10 points, a hole in one was worth 8 points.

    Tell that to Joe Sakic, who holed out on the 17th par 3 over the weekend for a cool $1 million dollars of which half went to charity.

    Marshall Faulk had an ace on the same hole on Friday, but they weren't paying out the $1 million until the weekend.

  • ALMOST one time.. landed about three feet away. Not bad for someone who has only played 27 holes his entire life, right?

  • Been close but no dice. On the other hand, my dad has 5 including one on a par 4.

  • Here's a question for you. Just recently my dad was playing in a golf outing in Mexico. Yes Mexico the country. Anyways he was playing in an outing and was less than an inch from a hole in one. However he won closest to the pin and won an Audi a3 convertible(not sold in us). I know ridiculous prize, I have no idea what the cost was to enter bc my dad was invited by a friend. So here's the question take the $45,000 car or a hole in one. My dad says he would rather take the hole in one. I said the car for sure but then again I'm not making a ton money.

  • I hate all of you who have had one. Been playing for 20 years (since I was 3) and haven't gotten mine yet. A buddy I went to HS with, who played for NC State on full scholly, has 4. I hate him. Closest I've come is 1/4". I was livid.

    Witness, I think I'd take the HiO. Once I get one, I can die a happy man. They're so rare, and chances are you might be able to accumulate the funds for the car at a later time. Plus, it's an a3...not an R8. a3's are kinda girly cars IMO. But I do see the dilemma.

  • My grandpa had three. I am still at 0. Ive been closish, but no kick ins or anything. My farthest hole out was at the National Golf Links of America in the Hamptons. Chipped my drive out of the bunker that ran thru the middle of the fairway and then all around the left side of the hole and then holed it in to a green that you couldn't see from the fairway from about 135. My brothers were up the fairway and could see it and were all screaming that it went in and I thought they were lying until I walked up and saw it in there. Best birdie I ever had on the best course Ive ever played.

  • Yep, 155 yd par 3 last year

  • Ya the whole was 75 yards. I thought I over shot it and looked around for five min before the guy who was a hole ahead of us told me it was in the hole. Before u judge about the 75 yards was 11 and hit a 5 iron so I count it

    RIP tRCMB

  • 6 plus 2 that weren't. One was a retee after hitting the first into the water, so it was only a par; One was a shot into a 40 mph wind on a 150 yd par three with a 4 iron...hit the stick, went down to the bottom of the cup (guys had waved us up and were close enough to see it.) bounced back up and the whipping flag stick hit the ball and it ended up 20 yards in front of the green.) Funny factoid: the first 4 holes-in-one were all with balls that had #1 on them, and, the first was in cold weather and was a pink Flying Lady!

  • I got a hole-in-one. Chicago suburbs. An 8-iron from 145 yards. explode

    Longest hole-out was on the same course, par 5, 2nd hole. After a lost ball penalty, I holed out from 190 yards to make a 5. ninja

    Draymond Green, Magic Johnson, and Oscar Robertson are the only players to have two triple-doubles in the NCAA Tournament.

  • I've never had one. Been playing off and on for around 16 years.

    Recently on #3 at Fenton Farms, a 185 yard Par 3, I hit a 4 iron to about 4 feet. Missed the birdie putt

  • Glen Oaks, Farmington Hills, 6th hole, 130 yards. Sept 1992.

    There were 7 of us golfing in a bachelor party. On the par 3s, all 7 of us teed off and threw in some money for closest to the pin. The green was slanted toward the back, so we couldn't see the hole. I hit an 8 iron long and it looked like my ball hit the middle of the green and skipped off. I start searching the rough behind the green and can't find my ball. Two guys were about ten feet away, so they were trying to figure out who won. One of them looks in the hole and says "who's playing a Titleist 2?" Ball must have landed in the hole on the first bounce.

    I figured I hit the pinnacle of my golf game, so I dropped my clubs and walked off the course. Haven't played since.

    Don't think -- it can only hurt the ballclub

  • I was on the edge of the cup on one hole (might have been White Lake Oaks) golfing with my dad.

    The best was when I had a double eagle on the 1st hole at Pontiac Country Club. Par 5 drove, went for the green in 2, got up there, ball was in the hole. It was during a high school golf match too. Needless to say, the other team was not happy with me starting out -3 after 1 hole. lol

  • had my only one when I was 17---I had just finished high school finals and headed out to our home course (Oakwood outside Milwaukee) to play a round. Started on the back because I could get out right away. Caught up to a single on the 12th hole and I would normally play through but I decided to join up instead. Well on 13 (a par 3---235 yards and ironically my least favorite hole on the course) I hit a low 3 iron that hit the fringe at the front and hopped up and disappeared at the back of the green. The hole is 235 and uphill and on that day the pin was in the back so it looked like a good shot but obviously neither of us could see it fall. As we approached the green and my ball was no where on it I was bummed since I now assumed it went over. I looked around the back and couldn't find it. The guy I joined up with joked that maybe it went in. We both laughed and continued looking behind the green to no avail. Finally he suggested I check the hole and there it was. My CD 100 Maxfli was resting against the stick at the bottom of the cup.

    Worked at a golf store that summer and the Maxfli rep gave me a certified hole-in-one certificate and a box of balls---since it was verified.

    My goal now is a double eagle---much rarer feat. Gator Bill technically did both in one shot which is awesome---congrats. Congrats to JM and Gassius as well.
