Cant stop laughing at the Villager posters, does anyone really care whether you hit a hole in one or were 8 over for the hole, go see if you can make love to your wife so she wants to actually grow her hair longer, haha

Personally I’ve seen golf balls hit the hole and bounce a couple feet away. We also found a ball in the hole when we didn’t actually see it roll in because of the hole location to the tee box. Yes, there definitely is some luck involved but as the old saying goes “the harder you work the luckier you get”. Just saying...

I don't know were you see hole in ones listed, I haven't seen it for a few weeks. Only thing I see is championship course shot your age or under. And as I understand it, even if you hit the pvc and "get a hole in one" they are not giving out certificates at this time.

The certificate is free...The plaque is $...

Of course we are playing golf. Just playing by a different set of rules. That doesn't make it a different game. Tackle football, touch football, flag football - all variations of the same game.

If the changes to the rules are considered “local rules”, you can count it. It would not be me though.

So nobody should bother keeping score, or tracking their handicap right now. Because the only way to finish a hole is to get the ball "in the cup". And nobody is doing that these days.

The discussion was hole-in-one, nothing to do with keeping score..

I thought golf was a gentleman’s/ladies game. Just sayin’.

[Curtisbwp]

I dont consider ANY hole in one a major accomplishment

Just extrapolating. Trying to learn how to live my life according to The Villages golf gurus.

If I can't count it as a hole-in-one, what do I count it as?

[Judy n Ron]

Maybe list the hole in one with an asterisk * like Roger Maris got after breaking Babe Ruth's home run record. You could call it a "Covidian Ace"

I’ve had 3 in the last 4 weeks; the 1st one at Egret #4 where the ball hit 2’ from the pin and bounced INSIDE the pvc pipe; the 2nd one was at Seminole #9 where the ball hit 6” from the pin and came to rest against the pipe; the 3rd was yesterday on Southern Star #1 where the ball hit the front of the green and rolled up and settled against the pipe.

Did I report any of them? No, the 1st no one would have believe it other that the people I was playing with, the other 2 because they didn’t go in the hole.

Let the people hitting the HIO, the age breakers and the Eagles enjoy seeing their name in the paper, it will stop when the pipes come out.
