So, who's had a hole in one? Have come close twice --this is the closest...

 

 
It bounced about 5 or 6 feet past the pin (that's the ball mark) and rolled back...rolling, rolling, rolling.  From there it was an easy 2-putt for a par...
 
Let's hear the stories.  And without pix, it never happened!!!!

Only one for this old golfer. Three years ago. And I swear... I hit the shot just as it needed to be for the pin placement that day. Center-right. I Used a 6i and played for a shot just short and left of center hoping to use the slope and put one close. Sure enough I did just that. I watched it the whole way until it disappeared. At first I thought it might be just behind the pin. But of course as I approached the green I realized it was in the hole. Pretty exciting.

Never a hole-in-one.  Have had 7 or 8 hole-outs for eagle from 100yds and out with the furthest being about 190.  But never from the tee.  I have hit the stick, had my ball mark and ball two inches from the hole 180 degrees apart (would love to know how the ball got there).  But never an ace.

 

Now, if you WANT an ace, I am apparently good luck because I have witnessed 4.

Never had one, I few years ago before all the nice phones with cameras and easy ways to post the photo, I had a very close one, landed a it a foot left of the hole, spun back and hit the hole and lipped out. The guys on the next tee box were yelling the whole time. I also had a near albatross once, a short par 5, tees were up probably about 490, I killed a drive, I had 160 left, hit 8 iron, lands about 5 feet short, rolled just past the hole, to about 3 inches away, still can't figure out how it didn't go in, it was that close

I'm still waiting for my first.  Always a bridesmaid, never the bride.

 

Brother-in-law had one two seasons ago, and was 1" from a 2nd in the same round.  I've enjoyed the bar tab from several hole-in-ones, but haven't had to pay for one yet.

I've been playing for 23 years, and I've had 2 and a half holes-in-one; one 15 years and one 6 years ago. I thought I had one last year on a 190y playing with a group that included my pro. When I hit it, it was headed for the pin, saw it land and then it disappeared. I hit it solid and said that it was either in the hole or off the back of the green. When we got up to the green, my wife went up to the hole while I was still in the cart. She pulled a ball out of the cup and held it up. Everyone cheered; I stayed in the cart. When she came back to the cart, she said "Did you hit a ratty old Pinnacle?" I said No, and proceeded to the back of the green. :(

 

My wife has been playing golf for 50 years. She's never had one, although she hit a ball in the hole of a pin on the driving range in Tucson a few years ago!

Funny this should come up right now, I just had my second ace on Sunday, in my first round since mid-January.  175 yards, 4-iron, uphill to a blind green, I walked up and didn't see the ball until I looked in the cup.  I had my first almost 31 years ago, playing with my soon-to-be father-in-law.  Now I've caught up to my wife, who has also had two in her 20 years of playing golf..

I have had two in 20 years of playing. Both of them came on September 18th, the second one last year and the first one the year before.

 

Didn't even realize it was the same date until I was at home writing the date on the ball and noticed it was the same date as the first ball!

My only Ace came at Pine Ridge Country Club, Winfield LA, where I was a member back in the 1980's......I got a letter from Jack(using Nicklaus Muirfield irons) a letter from Titleist(used a Titleist ball) and a pewter keychain from FootJoy(I use the keychain every day still).  It was Hole #6, that day it was only 97 yards, and I used a knockdown 9 iron.  Since then, I have scored three Eagles but no Aces.....

I've probably had 20 on the driving range anywhere from 70 to 200 yards. On the course though, I'm putting up a big goose egg. Closest I've come is in 8th grade playing a round with my younger brother. The ball stopped in an imperfection on the green just before it went into the hole. I still have a picture of it somewhere, hanging over the hole. Still in search of my first.

I had my one and only hole in one last July after playing golf for almost 40 years.  A down hill par 3, 140 yards.  Hit a nine iron, bounced a couple of times and tracked right into the hole.  Neither I nor my playing partners had ever witnessed a hole in won until then.  It was quite a treat.  I usually have a blow up after a good hole but actually parred the next hole which was the #1 handicap.  The rest of the round was pretty unremarkable.   Still have a mental image of hitting the shot and seeing it go into the hole.  Quite a memory!

No joke, I had closest to the pin on a hole within a foot. Guy hits the sign according to the members of his group on a basically skulled shot that would've sailed the green by 30 or more yards. Hits the sign and goes in. That's their story and I have to believe it because it cost me the CTP

Yeah, they're MUCH harder to get!

It's really funny and really lucky that my only hole in one came when I had just turned 13 a year and a half ago on a par four playing 260 yards.  I got invited to play a scramble at my home course and be the "celebrity" for the foursome because they didn't have enough celebrities that they could actually find to play.  I went first on hole 14, and I hit driver down the left edge of the green because that is the only way to get your shot to roll on to the green because it is too steep of an upslope just before the center of the green.  Anyway, I hit it down the left fringe, and it looked like it was going to be pretty good, and then it kept turning right, and started tracking towards the hole.  Then I heard a loud sound of the ball hitting the flagstick, and it dropped in!  It was awesome.

 

This is a picture of it from about 2 years ago.

Of course I hit my next drive about 100 yards right :)

Me: nope never. I've had two or three that have been within a yard, including one about a month ago that was just over a size 11 away. I've holed out from the fairway 3 times, twice for an eagle and once for the most ridiculous par ever.

 

My dad and I were playing in Williamsburg when I was a kid. It was hole 6 or something like that a par 3 that I could reach. I end up on the green... (yay) and my dad hits one that everyone loses within 20 feet of it leaving the club face. All I remember was how it was going dead at the pin, before we heard it hit something hard. We all though it was in the woods and after a few minutes of searching, we let the other group play thorugh. One guy hits his to 3-4 feet taps in and low and behold the sound wasn't wood but him hitting the back of the cup on the fly. 

 

Word traveled fast and we found the halfway house clapping for my dad as he entered.

 

Hands down the best part of it all: My sister all of 8-9 years old gets told Daddy made a hole in one... without missing a beat she goes "so what's the big deal"

We have a standing rule on our Saturday Game. If you have a CTP in front of the hole, measure and place the Proximity marker the same distance BEHIND the hole, so as not to interfere with others.  With 40+ players each week there is always the chance that someone would hit the Marker.

Yeah, they're MUCH harder to get!

 

I had one at age 18, nothing in the 38 years since.   Had a cruel lip hanger last year.   Slowest walk I ever took from tee to green and it would not fall.

Had my first in college at 19 when I holed a 7 wood from 238.  The next two were with a 4 iron and 5 iron a few years later.  I actually have two more but holing a 9 iron on a par 5 does not count when it is only a par 5 on the score card.
