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

never had a three putt par.

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.

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

Using that logic, DW contradicts himself since a double eagle would be a "lucky" second shot.

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:

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...

True, but this one was only 32 yards.

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

What would it be called? A shot that went in? Someone came up with the phrase A Hole in One. Good description for me.

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.

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.
