Only one par four hole in one. Dad was a scratch golfer, until his 60s.
He was old school, hole in one’s on par three’s not memorable to him. I have news articles from different tournaments, for 4 par 3 hole in one, and countless par 4 eagles.

Etiquette was drilled into my brain when he taught me the game. I also had the ability of long distance, and still love my irons, no hybrids. To be honest I play golf, but it’s unimportant for me.

Dads mindset for hole in one. They are mostly luck with some skill involved. Years after I read his accomplishments in the newspaper articles my mom saved, he rarely talked about them on the course or the dinner table.
