My first, and so far, only Ace. Luckily, I got mine early. It only took my 45th season playing this game. 😆 

My best memory is simply a shot. I've shot under par many times, under 30 on 9, back to back eagles, hole in ones, played TPC courses, parred 17 from the pot bunker at Sawgrass, all kinds of stuff.
But my best memory HANDS DOWN was in the final round of a local tournament. The previous times I played this course I would hit a high fade over the trees to cut the corner of this short dogleg right par 5. It had a pond right in front of the green, so it was best to go at it with a short iron or you needed to lay up. I aimed just left of the corner to hit my high fade and I double crossed it....pull hook. So instead of having 135 left like the previous two rounds, I was 195 into the wind needing to go straight over the pond.
I pulled 5 iron, my opponent asked, "you going for it"? Yep. Knock down shot into the wind I can stop it. 
He actually said, "it's not the wind that's going to get you" and pulled away.
I pulled the trigger and immediately thought it's either close or in the water. It bounced and dunk, right in for a double eagle. I won the tournament by 3. The amount of that single shot.
The course did something nice. Besides winning 1st in the tourney, 1st in the calcutta and a set of Titleist DCI irons, they got me this plaque. He called me a couple of weeks later and told me I forgot something. So a week or so later, I went up there and this plaque was what i "forgot". 
That ball is the actual ball as I had put it back in my bag after the shot. It's a Titleist Professional 100.

Good morning golfers..I have to say my greatest golf memory is playing golf with my two kids on fathers day..that was a special moment..then having both my kids beat me in a round of golf that day..happy golfing ⛳️ 

My most memorable (not best) golf moment is actually my unluckiest hole ever. It was a par 5 eighteenth hole with a 20 man skins game. Which we found out later would have been the only skin of the day with just a par. That never happens on a par 5 as there are several low single digit handicap players. Birdies seldom win on par 5’s. As for me, I very seldom win a skin because I only get a few birdies a round. I’m the guy they take because I’m pretty much a donator. Well, I bombed my drive and was about 30 yards past everyone. Believe me that never happens. (You know how sometimes when you pull it, you crush it.) Unfortunately, that pull left me in the left rough but worse than that there was an outcrop of trees that stuck out between the green and I. No way to punch out or hook around it as I would actually have had to punch backwards about 30 yards which would leave me no chance to get on in 3. When we got down there I couldn’t believe it, but there was about a 10 foot in diameter opening right in line with the green through those trees about 230 out. If I hit it it perfectly I could get to the green or very close. I had no choice. I lined up, swung and with perfect contact my ball screamed right through the middle of that opening. My buddy yelled, “you crushed that”. Mind you it was a beautiful day without even a small breeze. As I watched my ball flying right through the middle of that circular opening out of nowhere a branch falls from above and hits my ball in midair. I just stood there mouth agape staring at my buddies as they all stared back at me in disbelief. Of course, the silence didn’t last long as naturally they all started laughing hysterically. I may not have birdied or parred the hole for the skin but my short game is my strength if I have one. Obviously, I didn’t win the skins and I am reminded of that shot almost every round or get together since then. They make it the most memorable. 

Shooting even par in the first round of the stroke play club championship as an 11 hdcp.  When everything goes your way, it's hard to express the elation.   I didn't win, the second day was good, but not good enough...  but the memory of having my best round ever is a great memory....    thanks 

Holing a 5W from 255 for an albatross. I doubt anything like that will ever happen again. Especially since I can't hit a 5W 255 anymore 😂

I have Foot Joys with the BOA and find them superior to regular laces.  The fit is more consistent from toe box to heel.  I was concerned purchasing them 3 years ago that the system would wear out before the shoes. That has not been the case so far. 

Agree with others that kids should play with kids clubs.  Shaft flexes, length, etc. all designed for the golfer of that age is best.  Success is important with all sports.  Adults can have trouble playing adult clubs, much less kids.  My wife was using a boxed set of Target Adams clubs to start vs using an extra set of mine.  Recently we purchased her the Ping GLe2 and we can both see the difference.  Start the kid on properly sized clubs and when they can play well enough to get around an Executive Course, look at a better set.
Craig's List and others have lots of kids sets.
