Hole in one on pitch and putt

[Papa_lecki]

Is a hole in one on a Pitch and Putt news worthy?

Is a hole in one on a Pitch and Putt news worthy?

Some pitch and putt holes are longer than the front two tees on some executive and championship courses.

[JGibson]

I wish they would post the yardage of the alleged Ace.

What next Minature golf hole in ones, they're watering it down.

We already have the big holes like at El Santiago getting hole in one Photo ops.

I don't understand why anyone would care enough about it to start a poll. Why not let a person be happy.

[Two Bills]

Holes in one are vastly overrated whatever the distance or course.



PS. I have never had one!:grumpy:

21 times a hole-in-one doesn’t count!!

21 times a hole-in-one absolutely doesn't count (https://golf.com/news/features/21-times-hole-in-one-doesnt-count/)

Is a poll newsworthy about a hole in one? Or just bored, and too hot to go out

[alwann]

Well, it's newsworthy to the person who made the hole in one, and the Daily Sun likes to make Villagers feel good and doesn't really care what's newsworthy anyhow. Hijacking this thread a bit, I'd like to know when people shoot their age or better, is the score gross or net? Reading that a some 85 year-old breaks 80 is amazing and humbling, if it's a gross score.

I have played with a few fellow Villagers who have broken their age using their actual gross score. It is an extremely impressive thing to accomplish in my opinion and is on my bucket list, although the odds of it happening are very low unless I move up to the senior tees as I age.

“Senior tees”. I think those are called the “friendly tees”.😀

When I first moved here, I thought shooting your age was for the executive courses.

[dewilson58]

Probably in the minority......................but is any hole-in-one news worthy???

Sorry........I don't think so.

A lucky shot, not NEWS worthy.


I think an eagle on par 5's (assuming from appropriate tees) is more difficult than a hole-in-one.

:ho:

Have to disagree. I've had hundreds of eagles, most of them from the equivalent of the blue, gold and black tees in TV, but only one hole-in-one

I think “hundreds” of eagles is newsworthy.

[Rainger99]

Hundreds? Wow! I assume that most of your eagles were on in two and one putt? Did you hole out from the fairway on any of them.

The hardest score in golf is the double eagle!

In the 21 years on the PGA Tour from 1983 through 2003, there were 631 holes-in-one made, but just 56 double eagles.

[tophcfa]

I was referring to the t’s between the white t’s and the friendly t’s. I think they are green? My wife likes playing the friendly t’s.

[tophcfa]

Agree, I’ve had about 20 eagles (certainly not hundreds), but only one hole in one.

Yep. When you think about it, I have about one eagle a month, playing 60-70 par 5’s in that time, and have played for 55 years. So it’s not all that many. Double eagle? Just one 45 years ago, #7 Bethpage Black

[dewilson58]

:1rotfl::1rotfl:

[dewilson58]

I have had more eagles as well...............my point is................eagles take more skill (assuming drive, wood shot, one putt) than a lucky hole-in-one.

Thereby, news worthy skill..............vs. jus a lucky shot is not news worthy.

:024:

An eagle on a par 4 is not news worthy................still a lucky approach shot.

An eagle with no putts, not news worthy.....jus lucky.

:ho:

Dam, I guess almost half of my eagles aren’t news worthy because they were short irons or wedges holed on the second shot of relatively short par 4’s. They still required a good drive and approach shot, but the approach shot going in the hole definitely involved some luck. The last one was a PW on #7 at Hibiscus.

Call the Sun.....................life is good and it's all news worthy.

Everyone gets a participation award.

[goblue12]

If you can put the ball in the small cup from 50-110 yards, more power to you! Congratulations! It’s hard. How many times have you missed a 2 foot putt?

[Rwirish]

No as a hole in one on a pitch and putt is not a hole in one.

See the rules of golf.

Sorry, but I think holing out with a wedge or an ace on a par 3 is NOT pure luck---it is an exceptionally good shot that happens to go in. Using that logic, DW contradicts himself since a double eagle would be a "lucky" second shot. As far as #7 hibiscus goes, I played it yesterday and drove it on the green (just white tees since everyone was playing from there). Unfortunately, I missed the 20 footer so I couldn't add to "Mr. Helpful's" "Pinocchio" total.

Did that make the news??

Hundreds is mighty impressive. Sadly, I'm pretty sure I've had more three putt pars than eagles, even counting the half dozen or so hole-outs. But, like you, only one hole-in-one.

I’m pretty sure I’ve had more 3 putt pars also. In fact, my pro and I have an ongoing 3 putt par contest going for the last 7 years. It’s pretty much tied at about 150 each

Lots of three putts - but I have
never had a three putt par.

[SHIBUMI]

I always wear 2 pair of socks! In case I get a Hole In One......

[dewilson58]

A three putt par is a result of playing the wrong tees.....not how golf was designed.

That's what this poll is all about.......very short par three being excited about a hole-in-one. Someone is playing too far forward if they get a par after a three putt.

I can move forward and reach par fives in two (some in one) and par fours in one all the time......resulting in aces, eagles and double eagles. News worthy, nope. Not golf for me.

[SHIBUMI]

What rule of golf says that????????

Oh dude, an ace is luck no matter what you tell yourself. Since all skill level golfers get hole-in-ones.......one could say good shot (and many do when it happens) but luck was involved.

What did I say about double eagles?? :read:

[Morty S]

People who voted Yes see the glass half full while people who voted No see the glass half empty.

[Salty Dog]

What next Minature golf hole in ones,

Way back when, I use to play Putt-Putt golf with some pros (yes there are pros). A good score would be between 19-21 on 18 holes. That comes to 15-17 hole in ones. The place where I played had 4 18-hole courses and was open 24 hours a day...

[dewilson58]

Lights or Glow-balls???

As a kid, played a course under the light.............blast.

Glow-ball is jus as fun.

[frasep]

Some pitch and putt holes are longer than the front two tees on some executive and championship courses.
True, but this one was only 32 yards.

They are important at the Masters, 😎

Is a hole in one on a Pitch and Putt news worthy?

Not being a golfer, if I get a hole in one during pitch n putt that would be headline news!!!

[sowilts]

They are important at the Masters, 😎
What would it be called? A shot that went in? Someone came up with the phrase A Hole in One. Good description for me.

[tophcfa]

No as a hole in one on a pitch and putt is not a hole in one.

See the rules of golf.

I think the more relevant question is, should pitch and puts and putting courses be counted in the number of available golfing holes in the Villages? My answer would be a resounding NO! They are not representative of real golf and distort and discredit the reported number of legitimate golf holes! Including Executives is already a stretch.

[SHIBUMI]

A golf hole is defined as having a tee area and green area with a hole. The odds of making a hole in one from 25 yards is 100-1.
when you double the distance, 50 yards, the odds triple to 300-1. When 50 becomes 100, the odds become 900-1. And so on.
If you were betting a horse at 100-1 and it won, that would be noteworthy, anything at 100-1 odds and more IS Noteworthy, unless you are a snob.

[lawngilander]

First time golfing? I would say yes!

[justjim]

As they say “there are two sides to a coin”. And to each their own.

[Stu from NYC]

If I ever get one will demand to see it on a front page even if I have to bribe an editor to do so.

[Rainger99]

I have never heard of a condor before. That would be newsworthy!!!

Has There Ever Been a Hole-In-One on a Par-5 Hole? (https://www.liveabout.com/hole-in-one-on-par-5-1563337)

[I'm Popeye!]

A lucky shot, not NEWS worthy.


I think an eagle on par 5's (assuming from appropriate tees) is more difficult than a hole-in-one.

:ho:
Please clarify what you are saying. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:
Isn't an "Eagle" on a PAR 5 the same as a "Hole in One" on a PAR 3. :evil6:

[Worldseries27]

used to do it regularly

No Mr. Spinach.............Ace is a lucky shot.
Eagle on a par 5 is a good drive, a good second shot and a good putt.

a/k/a............one lucky shot vs. putting together three shots.

:mornincoffee:

[BrianL99]

No as a hole in one on a pitch and putt is not a hole in one.

See the rules of golf.

Hole in Ones are not mentioned in the USGA Rules of Golf.

[Marsha11]

Don't think they would reply. It's not a course for Pitch & Putt

[Marsha11]

Don't think they would reply. It's not a course for Pitch & Putt. Senior tees, Friendly tees, are PGA officially used by people over 70 with a handicap of more that 15
