Hole-in-one

[bkcunningham1]

Have you ever gotten a hole-in-one? I'm just a beginner so the answer goes without saying for me. I have gotten many, okay, a few, pars and even fewer birdies.

My husband was playing with a co-worker and the co-worker's brother at True Blue in South Carolina. Both the co-worker and his brother each got a hole-in-one on that course during that one round. It was a first for each. My husband talks about it to this day. Astounding. Unbelievable. But true.

You talking about socks? I've had holes in many.

[graciegirl]

Yes. A very long time ago. But even a blind sow runs into an acorn very occasionally.

Sweetie has had THREE!

[bkcunningham1]

OMGoodness, Gracie. I am impressed!!! Wow. I can't wait to tell my husband...hee hee. He was proud as punch when he broke 80!

[wmchale]

Hope his bowling improves

Breaking 80 is always impressive. There are a lot of golfers and I was very surprised to read how few do even break 100.

[Pats2010]

I broke 100 bowling one time. :clap2:

I've played WITh many people who have had a hole in one during our round. My normal foursome buddy had his first hole in one two years ago on a reachable (obviously) par 4. It was something you don't forget when you see a hole in one with a driver.

[graciegirl]

One of the holes in one that Sweetie made was a blind dog leg par four. Wow.

Mine was a reachable par three, the last hole at our club and the bar was filled with friends on a Friday night. They saw it and I was glad to pay.

[ajbrown]

I have had two in my life. I have not had one for many years (10+). With my luck, the last one I had was during a 3 day member guest at my home club.

It was during the Friday round which was the only round where there were no pay out for skins or closest to the pins.

By the time I got to the club house you would have thought the news was on CNN. That joyous hole-in-one cost me $175!

[l2ridehd]

I have had two hole in ones. One about 10 years ago and one two years ago. One of the foursome called the club house and told them so I also had a big bar bill by the time we finished 18. We were on hole seven. Also have had two eagles, one on a par four from 175 yards out and one a par five from 90 yards out.

[bkcunningham1]

I am going to look into starting a hole-in-one insurance company.

[jebartle]

Wow, a double eagle (Albatrosse) even more impressive than a hole-in-one....The ole boy has had two double eagles, I've had 3 hole-in-ones but not near as impressive as a Albatrosse!....You would think sleeping with him, it would rub off!....Oh well!

[ajbrown]

The 'ole boy' has two double eagles and has played Augusta (another thread).

I am not sure which is a harder feat :)

In all my years, I have never had a double eagle or even come close that am aware of. Having two is something.

I must say, as I age and hit the ball shorter and shorter my odds are not exaclty increasing! Now, where can I find some 420 yard par 5's :icon_hungry:?

[SALYBOW]

My husband got one 5 years ago. He tried to call me but I was away and could not receive calls. So. he called his MOM. LOL

[gary42651]

I have had two, one during a tournament and I won 144 dozen Nike golf balls

[Talk Host]

It is my position that if a person makes a hole in one, everybody else should buy the drinks. Why should a person be punished for a once in a life time thrill of making a hole in one.

[Russ_Boston]

1,728 golf balls? What the heck did you do with them? Sell?

[gary42651]

gave them away to the memebers, family, and friends

I had a hole in one about ten years ago - I took a day off from work to do some yard work around the house, got bored, and decided to go to the range and hit some balls. When I got to the course, the parking lot was empty and no golfers were on the first or second tees, so I said, what the heck, I'll play a few holes instead. As I finished the seventh hole, there was a foursome made up of two senior citizen couples on the eighth tee, and they waited for me to putt out and asked me if I wanted to play through. The hole was a 165 yard downhill par 3. I thanked them, hurried up to the tee box, and hit a quick 8-iron off the tee. One bounce, a short roll, and it went right in the hole. They were more excited than I was. After a few minutes of them jumping around, I calmed them down and asked them all to sign my card. They did, and one of them put his phone number on the card as well - and said if anyone didn't believe my story, they could call him. It was a nice gesture, and I'm happy that I wasn't alone when it went in - I would probably have just never mentioned it to anyone.

[Pturner]

I had a hole-in-one. It was thrilling. My friends I played with signed my ball. I still have it, of course.

It was a weekday afternoon and besides us, there was only one group of four men in the clubhouse when we came in. Here's where it pays to be a woman, TH. Not only would they NOT let me buy them drinks-- I gladly offered-- they insisted on buying drinks for my friends and me. :)

Anyway, It's great to have Irish luck every once in a while.

[grayesun]

Hers on 1/2/10 on the 9th at El Santiago; mine on 5/4/10 on the 9th at De La Vista.

Of course this was my 1st time playing alone since moving to TV last December and not a sole witness in sight except the big guy upstairs (no not Sam Snead). (Note: hand is firmly on bible).

[logdog]

My favorite episode of "My Name is Earl" was an early one were Earl found out that everyone at the bar gets free drinks when someone gets a hole in one. So he waits at a blind dog leg short par 4. When someone hits a ball close, he runs out, picks up the ball and drops it in the hole. Then he heads back to the bar to wait for his free drink.

[ohiogolf]

I had one on a golf trip with about 20 guys at Callaway Gardens, GA. It was the last day and we were running late for our flights in Atlanta. as we walked up to the tee I told the guys that we should get in our carts and head back to the club house as we will miss our flights home. They said we could get one more hole in since it was just a par 3. Well, I put it in the hole! We then had to leave so I did not buy drinks. The next year when we arrived on the course for the outing, all 20 guys were waiting for their drinks before we could tee off.

This is an old thread I started some time ago. I searched to find it so I can say that I witnessed my first hole-in-one yesterday, 11.11.11. I was golfing in a foursome with my friends from my cul-de-sac. We were on the 5th hole of Bonita Pass. My friend hit a beautiful drive with a five iron that hit the green from 103 yards.

She turned and was chatting with the others in the group and didn't see her first hole-in-one! I am still excited just thinking about what I witnessed! I bought her lunch at Cane Gardens to celebrate.

It is those moments that keep you going back out on the greens. Loved, loved, loved watching that ball sink in the cup. Wow.

It is fun to witness! I was at Bonita Pass yesterday, likely not the same time as I did not hear any loud screaming associated with an ace. I hope you got your traditional 'hole in one' beverage from the lucky lady.....

My group was celebrating 'greens in one' :jester:

We started at 9:10 a.m. When did you play? She is going to have a cocktail party at her house for our entire cul-de-sac to celebrate and give us our complimentary beverage.

[Trish Crocker]

My stepfather was golfing in a foursome (excuse me if I don't get all of terms correct...I don't golf but definitely plan on doing so!!)..anyway, he hit his ball and got a hole in one...immediately after, his partner did it on the same hole. It was in the local paper (Zephyrhills). The funny part is, my stepfather is somewhat..ahem...frugal.. shall we say, and I'm sure it killed him to buy the drinks. He was probably the only golfer in the world that would prefer to get his hole in ones when he is playing alone!

Very nice, good for her..... AND the hood :)! We were out there around 1:30P. It warmed up nice and I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the greens.

Hello everyone, This is my first posting :wave: We just purchased our home in The Village of Bonita.
Several years ago, while vacationing with friends at Lake Cumberland State Park in Kentucky, we watched our friend (Bill) hit a hole-in-one. It was the first we had ever witnessed and we were all extremely excited. Even more amazing is the fact that while waiting on the next tee box we watched a golfer behind us hit a hole-in-one on the very same hole.
My husband had two hole-in-ones last year and myself one many years ago. I knew my husband would never believe me so I had all of my friends sign the scorecard and ball.

[2BNTV]

I put on a pair of socks and there was a hole in one. :22yikes:

I never understood why on sportscenter in their top ten plays they could rate a hole in one as the fourth or fifth best play of the day. It is such an incredible acheivement.

Congrats to all who have made one.

How cool! An unforgettable moment on an unforgettable date. Congrats to your friend!

Had my first hole in one a couple of months ago on Roosevelt #1 with three TOTV friends. 126 yards with a PW. It was my first!

[Golf-Tinker]

Russ-Boston and SamHass posting on the same day. Planets have moved, the sun is about to flare and balls are dropping into holes with ease.

After all these years it’s still good to be the King.

Arnold Palmer recorded his 20th career hole-in-one Tuesday, this one coming at Bay Hill’s Charger Course. Palmer used a brand new set of Callaway Razr XF irons for the first time and hit 5-iron from 163 yards on the par-3 seventh hole.

Palmer, 82, needed the ace to help him break 80. He shot 79 while playing with Bay Hill regulars Dick Ferris, Bill Damron, Bruce Walkers and Will Carey.
