Pitch and Putt Golf

[yabbadu]

This past weekend there was a picture in the newspaper showing three people celebrating a Hole In One on the 10th Hole at the Richmond Pitch and Putt Golf Course. Really!!!

Appreciate comments ! Just Curious:popcorn:

Next we will be celebrating Holes In One on Putt -Putt Courses.????:popcorn:

I listened to one brag today, about an Executive Course HIO. It's like everything else in life today, everyone wants a "participation medal".

Those of us who have legitimate ones, have the "real thing".

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.

[Laker14]

Well if you are going to denigrate someone else's joy, you should discount any golfing achievements you have unless you played "from the tips". After all, anything less than that is "friendly golf".

You're right, it might be the achievement of a lifetime for some, especially a beginner. Mea culpa. And BTW, I only play the "tips" maybe once a month now, the last time in the Bahamas just before they played the Korn-Ferry tour event there. It was only 7200 yards, but the wind was a huge factor. You have to admire the pro golfers, just breaking par there is an accomplishment.

Have you ever celebrated your favorite sports team winning an event ? Why ? You did not play. Just curious.

I have 5 holes in one. 75 yds 115 yds 130 yds 145 yds and 150 yds. They all cost me money for the post celebration libations. Question which ones do not count so I can request for some of my celebration money back.

I don't ever play the tips. As a courtesy to the people behind me (that's a joke, son), but never had the game for it. Well, that's not entirely true, in some amateur events I qualified into flights that required it, where it then became evident I was in over my head.
As I approach 70, I'm finding more and more courses are too much from me from the whites. I fear the Greens are just a birthday away.

[alwann]

Related question: Those shot-their-age scores published in the Sun, are they gross or net? You know, 87 year-old posts an 86. Great, but gross or net? This is why I want to still ne playing at age 100.

Maybe they were celebrating that they could walk an 18 hole course. When is the last time any of us achieved that feat?

So what do the pros call it when they hole a "legitimate" tee shot on a Par-3?

That's what I thought.

At least we don't need a new name for people who are always ragging on others.

[JMintzer]

And they probably used a driver :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

A classic "Village" hole in one! Hit a shot that never gets more than 3 feet off the ground and watch it roll and roll and roll... Until it rolls on the green and happens to go in the hole...

I saw a lady get TWO of them one day, while playing with my wife @ Sarasota... They were her 10th and 11th holes in one... And she had only been playing just over a year! Of course the happened to fall into the BIG holes on the green...

I've probably played 200-300 courses. I've never played one that had a 75 yard Par 3. I'd see if you can get your money back for that one.

[Rainger99]

I've probably played 200-300 courses. I've never played one that had a 75 yard Par 3. I'd see if you can get your money back for that one.

Almost every hole on every executive course has holes shorter than 75 yards - if you play from the front or (as I call them) the senior tees.

75 Yds - Hole number 5 Hill Top. Where is the cut off ? 80 yd 90 yds 95 yds 104 yds 118.6 yds ? Does uphill or downhill count ? With or against the wind ? So as to distinguish my 75 yd shot from the tee that ended in the hole is not a legitimate "hole in one" I'll simply call it an "ace".

[BrianL99]

The club I managed, had a single Green that was longer than 75 yards.

When you knocked in a Putt from one end to the other, we called it "nice putt", not a "hole in one".

75 yd green ? Yea I was on that green "in regulation". Then I one putted. Can you believe they called that a "birdie"?

[Bilyclub]

Next, they will be posting pics of aces on the Putt N Plays.

[HJBeck]

Hey, why not. Good to be happy about the little things in life as well.

[sowilts]

USGA approves Hole in one on both Executive and 18 courses. Congratulations to anyone who can play golf at any age and enjoys the sport. One learns many lessons on a golf course. Good sportsmanship is one lesson I have learned. Cheers to the group that celebrated the players Hole in one. That is what the game is all about.

Goody for you. Goody for your club with the green that was longer than 75 yards.

We'll defer to you and your club before we do any celebrating here. We wouldn't want to have any fun or excitement of which your boys at the "Country Club of Really Large Greens" would not approve.

Reminds me of the other day, on #8, Mallory-Virginia. The tee box is close to the pickleball courts. From the courts you could hear whooping, laughing, and human sounds I would associate with happiness, and fun. I commented to my playing partners , "hear that? Hear that laughing, and joking, and general happiness? That's pickleball. Thank goodness we don't go for that nonsense on this side of the fence, where we recognize that our recreation is an exercise in futility, anger, and frustration."

It's good that we honor places like "The Country Club With Really Big Greens" and members thereof to remind us of our plight.

[Rwirish]

It’s a TV hole in one. No such thing as a pitch and putt or executive golf course hole in one.

Many times those are called birdies or eagles so there is already a name for hole outs from the fairway. And yes those are also celebrated.

give them a break… depends on the ability of the player. I play with a 68 y/o with Parkinson’s on wednesdays, if he 50 hops it into a hole from 75 yards, he deserves his name in the paper. My sister in law never held a golf club and holed a 175 ft putt at one of the putting course, everyone around was thrilled and cheering… she will remember the one shot of a life for her. Me, my shot of my life, I have one double eagle on a 535 yard hole, take that and it never made it to the paper :-) . My wife has one that bounced and rolled from about 100 yards in Maui, the course gave her a pin flag. So championship courses from the tips to putting courses, let them celebrate, It;’s the villages, congratulate them.

[rustyp]

Food for thought - perhaps the hole in one golfer pictured at the pitch and putt is handicapped and is playing to his or her ability as a courtesy to you by not playing the "big boy" courses and slowing play. You want to tell that golfer it wasn't a hole in one.

[SHIBUMI]

The 7th hole at Pebble beach has played at 92 yards in the US Open. The hole is all downhill with a considerable drop. That relates to about 75 yards. A ball hit from a tee, into the hole, is reason for celebration. Congratulations!!!!

Exactly! I have never heard such childish talk....who cares!
If I'm playing ( or anyone) a pitch and putt and I get a hole in one....guess what, I got a hole in one.
All you have to say is "wow, that's nice", as anyone would say for a regulation course. I'm not asking for a trophy.

It does seem like the ones that have issue with this are all the same type of personality, same sex, same "needy" way about them. What has happened, where's the confidence. Appreciating something good about another person does not make you look bad, quite the opposite. It shows how much self confidence you have, just shut your mouth and let them have a moment.

I have to say, all of us "old folks" down here have no right complaining about the younger generation all needing their trophies, because the stroking needed by the older men is insane! Maybe it's just a coincidence, but in the last 4 months I have been back I have never met so many insecure men...." I've done this, I have that, I drive a little red" the list goes on. What is missing in their lives?
Anyway....if you all get a hole in one on a regulation course, a pitch and putt or even just a putt.....Congratulations!!!!

Please don't tell me you're comparing #7 at Pebble to any of the 75 yard holes on exec courses here. Please don't. Yes, it is 92 yards downhill, but often into a 40+ mph wind. Even Nicklaus stated he has hit 5 iron to that hole. Additionally, just try to skull a driver into the hole there, rotsa ruck.

[Shellshack]

Nicklaus should take a lesson from Brian's home course. Those boys would nullify the wind by putting 75 yds.

it isn't 75 yards from the tips is it? I remember once watching the old Bing Crosby there, and the pros (old crappy balls and clubs, of course) were hitting woods and long irons into a stiff wind. I can't remember the distance, but probably 185, which of course was like 220 in today's world.

I can't remember who the pro was but he took his club out, and knocked it 50 yards into the ocean. Seems the wind took that particular moment to stop for a rest. The look on that guy's face, and the look he and his caddy shared was priceless.

But, the hole, and your comment, do illustrate that distance isn't everything.


EDIT: it wasn't #7, it was #17.

Thank you for your positive words! To be honest I got a serious headache from shaking my head at all the naysayers! Just a normal day with TOTV!!!

By the way I’ve scored 2 holes-in-one here in The Villages! Both were witnessed and both were ‘acts of God’!!! Remember him …? Maybe that’s what we really need in our lives … more God!!!

Yes, #17 at Pebble is usually about 185 yards, the very back is 208. #7 is the short par 3, and there are plenty of bogies made by touring pros on that hole, the most I've seen it play is 108.

[George Page]

It’s not the difficulty, nor the distance. It’s the percentages. The odds are stacked against you with only 2 chances in 18 holes on the champion courses, verses 18 chances in 18 holes on executive courses. Also, one must use every club in the bag on champion courses verses the more repetitive limited club selection needed to play the executives. There is no comparing the two.
When asked if I’ve had a hole-in-one, my standard response is: “Three, BUT one was on an executive course.”
That being said, congratulations are always in order for any hole-out more then 2’ from the cup!

Best rebuttal to the "WOKEE crowd" that I have heard lately. And a Chinese philosopher said to the Chinese king, "and THIS too will pass (meaning his kingdom). I will drink to NEVER having to hear "woke" spoken again. Maybe Star Wars could have a new movie with a WOKEE for a hero.

My wife notices the SAME exact thing. She calls them old entitled WHITE men with SMALL putter flutters. Then stop in the middle of the aisle in Public and vegetate there like they own the world. They deserve praise when LUCKILY their ball decides to roll in. Praise for getting a little minimum of exercise and wasting precious time and money and happily harming their environment.......but then, they are the elitist few with the bulging stomachs.

[jimjamuser]

Throw away that anxiety-inducing putter and buy an oar and associated equipment for a fine, pleasant experience

OK. Way to show a good way to get exercise. Now we are talking about SERIOUS exercise. It's like a call to MARCH away from polluting Golf and move toward swimming and water stretching. Less costly and better for you both mentally and physically.

The shortest par three on the PGA tour is 92 - 116 yards and a hole in one counts. I think playing at later stages in life is the most important. In my opinion if it goes in the hole in one swing, it’s a hole in one. I’ve had one in all the years I’ve played. It was an executive course and the yardage was 142 yards. My question the the OP. Does that count.

Just asking.

I think most of us on this site know the answer to that.

A Hole in One is a Hole in One..........yardage aint what its all about. You get no extra points for yardage factor.............and it is what it is is the point!



Clearly you do not play golf. If you did, you would know better.

That's a whole different statement from"160 yards is 160 yards" Get it?????

My wife notices the SAME exact thing. She calls them old entitled WHITE men with SMALL putter flutters. Then stop in the middle of the aisle in Public and vegetate there like they own the world. They deserve praise when LUCKILY their ball decides to roll in. Praise for getting a little minimum of exercise and wasting precious time and money and happily harming their environment.......but then, they are the elitist few with the bulging stomachs.

So, your wife is a racist like you?

Also, I find your interest in men's "small putters" and "bulges" quite telling... Not that there's anything wrong with that...

You post does make me curious about your seemingly insatiable need to crap on so many golf threads...

[JMintzer]

OK. Way to show a good way to get exercise. Now we are talking about SERIOUS exercise. It's like a call to MARCH away from polluting Golf and move toward swimming and water stretching. Less costly and better for you both mentally and physically.

Yes... All that chlorine used in pools is wonderful for the environment...

Oh, crap... I just gave you something else to rail against...

Simply because someone MUST do it (crap on golfers) because so MANY people in La, La Land are OVERLY enamored by the SKILL (I won't call it a game) (just like shooting pool on a LARGE, WASTEFUL table). The game just BEGS to be criticized. So, I help bring back perspective to the ACTIVITY (swing a BIG club at a helpless LITTLE ball - then jump in a polluting, stinky (your nose knows that IS true) and chase the little bugger down the BIG green waste of land.
.....I think with a screen to catch a drive and a 2nd shot that through good electronics and A.I. that a REALLY good approximation of the less important shots (drive and 2nd shot) would work out just GREAT. Then a golfer could just WALK to a nearby P + P hole and finish up with the SKILL shots
........Walla....... the combination of the 2 would yield ALL the advantages of the regular long and wide fairways game........ and with none or fewer of the DISadvantages. I rest my case your Honors.

Actually, I will use this opportunity to make this a learning experience. In TV Land and most other resorts, the pools NO LONGER use Chlorine. They have a better alternative (less caustic). You can open your eyes underwater without experiencing a burning feeling. I don't have the exact chemical formula for it, but it is something like bicarbonate-something? See, I made everyone around me smarter. More people should adopt a similar attitude.
......And I COULD do a nice rail against Pickle's Ball if you insist.

When they record your hole in one, they don't give the weather report, only the distance, it is what it is. You may have played it for more or less but it is the yardage associated with the hole in one.

That's a whole different statement from"160 yards is 160 yards" Get it?????

[Tvflguy]

Some people and posters here can be SO Snooty. Better than tho. My way or the highway. Do as I say not as I do.

Some look down at others. That’s fine if you live on the second floor. But don’t TALK DOWN to us.

My gut tells me that some of these folks were bullies in school when young.,.

[Hardlyworking]

It’s not the difficulty, nor the distance. It’s the percentages. The odds are stacked against you with only 2 chances in 18 holes on the champion courses, verses 18 chances in 18 holes on executive courses. Also, one must use every club in the bag on champion courses verses the more repetitive limited club selection needed to play the executives. There is no comparing the two.
When asked if I’ve had a hole-in-one, my standard response is: “Three, BUT one was on an executive course.”
That being said, congratulations are always in order for any hole-out more then 2’ from the cup!

Executive courses only have 9 holes.

Walla (sp)?

Someone MUST do it? No, a sane person would ignore threads that don't interest them. But, as usual, you just can't help yourself...

All you've done is explain that you know absolutely nothing about golf and that you're nothing but a TROLL who feels he MUST crap on golf threads...

What about golfers with EVs? Are they allowed to play? And when I play golf, I don't smell the carts at all. I smell freshly cut grass... But you wouldn't know that so, as usual, you make up garbage...

Do you have a clue as to how expensive those golf simulators are? That you can't just leave them outside all day, as the heat (and humidity) will destroy them? (they ARE computers, after all...)

And which shots are "less important"? The all count as 1 Stroke... Which are the "skill shots"? Oh, right, you know nothing about the game, so there you go, making up more garbage...

Baseball (which you'll have to agree, is more of an exertion than golf) is someone swinging a big wooden bat at a helpless little ball...

Tennis (one of your favorite sports) smashes a sweet fuzzy widdle ball with a racquet, propelling it at well over 100 mph... The HORROR!

Do you participate in ANY competitive sports? I'd wager you don't... Were you the guy picked last in gym class? Is that why you hate competitive sports so much?


P.S. The correct spelling is "Voila"... Please don't try to be erudite... It doesn't suit you...

[JMintzer]

My wife a "racist" ? Oh, bite your tongue. My wife does NOT take a joke like I do. She worked in a certain subdivision of the CIA that let's say........does NOT bring back prisoners.

Is that a threat? All I did was ask a question. Notice the (?) at the end of the sentence? It's called a "question mark". It signifies the preceding comment is a QUESTION...

"Jan 5, 2023 — The Villages District Government is prepared to convert swimming pools to saltwater-based maintenance due to the high cost of chlorine."

Championship courses have at least 2 par threes per 9 holes (some have three), if they also have a 3rd par 5 (like Southern Oaks...)

Well, you still don't get it. That's OK, doesn't matter anyway.

[Spalumbos62]

That's VERY true! But, the question is whose computer is the one wasting energy? I might pick differently than someone else. I think that I could relate more positively to someone fishing at a lake or better yet rowing around a lake......great exercise and has the fringe benefit of being tranquil meditation. Throw away that anxiety-inducing putter and buy an oar and associated equipment for a fine, pleasant experience

Exactly!! That ball they chase around after, causing all kinds of stress and then of course afterward, when they have made let's say not the best shot, there are a million excuses...the wind, their stance,the club...all so funny to the listeners.
I agree with you, put away that frustrating game and really get some mind clearing exercise.....my doctor says the same thing....and he's a very smart man!

[rustyp]

Anyone have a hole in one (AKA ACE or EAGLE) on El Santiago ?

[justjim]

I don't ever play the tips. As a courtesy to the people behind me (that's a joke, son), but never had the game for it. Well, that's not entirely true, in some amateur events I qualified into flights that required it, where it then became evident I was in over my head.
As I approach 70, I'm finding more and more courses are too much from me from the whites. I fear the Greens are just a birthday away.

Thanks for a honest post. I have lived on a couple of championship courses and watched many “ego golfers” playing from wrong tees. It’s a much higher percentage of golfers than you would think. It’s especially prevalent among us senior golfers. IMHO a hole in one is a hole in one no matter if it’s 75 or 175 yards.

But you have 14 chances for an eagle every time you play an 18 hole course. No limited number of clubs... how many of those have you had...? Just curious, they celebrate those also.
BTW, executive courses are only 9 holes.

[kcrazorbackfan]

I’ve been lucky; I’ve had 17, the shortest was 115yds, the longest was 195yds. It’s all a game of luck.
