What are the Birdie juice rules on a fake hole-in-one?

Really in these times , this is what angers you ??? How does it hurt you that some get some happiness from a hole in one?

We’re retired and most are just golfing for fun. If you have a more restrictive view, apply it to yourself and let others have their day.

Actually, if he had been playing a PGA tournament, I think it would have counted.

if the ball goes into the cup with one swing it's a hole in one

what I don't get is if a golfer makes another why isn't it called a "2 fer 2"

if it happened a third time...use the hockey term "hat trick"

a forth time..."a grand slam" (although the golfing world will have to get approval from Denny's on this one)

if it happened a fifth time "hey I shot a whiskey bottle today"

a sixth time would be referred to as "I shot a six pack"

you see where I'm going with this, right....heck during the Christmas season we could become festive and use the language from the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas"

this would be far more descriptive of what the life time achievement is for any golfer...think of the different trophies that could line the mantel...and it actually sounds more macho, even if you are wearing a flamingo colored shirt, a pair of lemon yellow shorts and a purple hat band when you get your picture in "da paper"

Why do you even care?:bigbow::bigbow:

:1rotfl:
a pga tourney with pvc
:1rotfl:

You want it that bad, I guess you need to live with yourself. On the other hand, the local ground rules supercede the rules of golf....

So if the same person passes gas on the course and no one hears or smells it, does that mean it did not happen? Go ahead and take the moment from that golfer, it makes everyone criticizing better for it. Good lord!

Holes in one
 

My friend got one yesterday. The ball was actually leaning on the pole. Legitimate hole in one!!
:coolsmiley:

I had an eagle a few weeks ago on Glen View when my second shot from about 120 yards hit the pvc pipe. I took the score but I think it could have skated over the hole or careened off the stick otherwise so I didn't report it. If it would only bounced back a few inches, it might have been different but.. who knows. Yet we aren't pros and it's just a game to indulge us in our retirement, so I say who cares if the ball would have went in or not. People who are too serious about golf aren't helping their health. Just have fun with it cause just about everything else is more important.

I got one but it has an asterisk and no certificate. Some courses in other cities have put foam rubber half an inch below the opening that is much less expensive than pvc and makes your game legitimate.

Wow when I played had no idea how many clubs I had in the bag and if I ever got lucky to get a hole in one under any conditions it would count as one.

Why do people take golf so seriously?

I would consider it a kindness if you would go through the rules of golf and tell us which to ignore and which to observe. After that, please do the same with deed restrictions, traffic laws, leash laws.

In golf, a hole in one or hole-in-one (also known as an ace, mostly in American English) occurs when a ball hit from a tee to start a hole finishes in the cup.

Hole in one.
 

On the executive course the ball will go in the hole. I witnessed my wife hit a hole in one on Grey Fox and the ball disappeared in the cup. I agree with you though on just hitting the stick and claiming a hole in one.

I agree, but I really don't care.

I do however thing that if a ball is resting against the PVC pipe there can be no other conclusion than it would have been in the hole if not for the pipe. If a ball simply hits the pipe and bounces off, one cannot come to that conclusion.

If you believe that you got a hole in one and want to report it, go ahead and get your certificate. It really doesn't affect anyone else.

How about they report it as "Plugged Tee Shots"?

Wrong.
The pipe is not centered, resting against the side of the cup & the ball came to stop next to the hole, touching the pipe.
:ohdear:

I agree that the sudden increase in holes in one and shooting ones age should be taken with a grain of sand.

This made me wonder. Do you think someday when the snowflakes retire they will want their name in the paper for shooting the age they identify as?

I agree that a hole in one and shooting ones age means no more than a grain of sand with these conditions.

In the scheme of things going on now, does it really matter?? I say have fun and if you hit the flag then celebrate like there's no tomorrow! :)

I'd say a hole in one is as good today as my buddy shooting under his age with a couple of gimmes. In the scheme of things great and small, it has nothing to do with my game. I know how well I scored and I'm just glad to be able to enjoy the game.

I played with a known cheater in Dallas one day. He had a hole in one and put down a zero on the score card. We saw through it, though...

I disagree, anyone who plays by the rules and can shoot their age has performed a major accomplishment in my book. I am still to young to have a chance at doing it, but it’s on my bucket list. I will have to be fortunate enough to age well and still be able to play at a high level to even have a chance. Golf On:icon_wink:

In that case
 

If that's the case, I have a double Eagle on Terra Del Sol's 6th hole. I made the eagle put.
I wouldn't count it. Even though I have been waiting for 63 to get my first hole in 1.
On the other hand I do have a double Eagle.

Or buzzard

Couple?

He's also having a conversation on here, YOU DON'T have to read it and be so negative!
In fact, go walk your dog!

Ha! Yeah, I guess that is generous, as I don't keep track.

Hio
 

Let these old golfers have maybe their last glory! The pro shop set up the rules and if they say it is a ligit HIO so be it!!!!!

That is a “fake” hole in one. Like the Villages living south of 42..fake.

I say good for them 👏👏👏👏

We all live SOUTH of 42. Shows how much you know. :boom: Troll

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

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.
