I have had several pars though!

I have to agree that a hole in one is vastly over-rated. I believe it is far more related to luck than skill. I remember one year, on our yearly vacation to Myrtle Beach, my husband came home from a game, so angry.... he got paired with an older couple, wife was a true novice.... skulled the ball off the tee box and it rolled all the way onto the green and into the hole. A hole in one recorded and it never even got off the ground. My husband, a single digit handicapper who has never had one was livid. To make matters worse, a few years later I had taken up golf. We retired to TV and I had one on Hacienda... of course, a short par 3, and when asked what club I used, I stupidly admitted to a 5 wood and was about laughed off the world. I was embarrassed to death. Would never have admitted to another if it had happened. People can be cruel. Just as most male, low handicapped, golfers don't believe in a hole in one on Executive courses.... I hear them ridicule them all the time.

Does miniature golf count?

Nothing worse than playing in a foursome, and at sunset, so bright no one had a clue where tee shots went. We looked for 2 minutes for stupid ball, before realizing it was in the hole, by the first to putt.
No reward, getting to watch it drop in, celebrating was lackluster
