I have 13 full shot "hole outs" from the Fairway (which if you're a golfer, you know are usually more difficult). It won't be long before there's a new name for fairway hole outs & folks will be wanting plaques.
I agree. I only have one hole-in-one, and that was in 1978. But using the equipment of that era, it was 198 yards with a 5 iron, so I think it definitely falls in the "legitimate" category. If we count hole outs from 100 yards in, like you I have dozens. And I can't count how many times I hit it through the windmill into the clowns mouth, but apparently some "celebrators" can.
