The only hole-in-one/albatross I had was on a short par 4.I didn't see it but my teammates and opposing team did. So yeah, I feel cheated out of the celebration as it isn't as exciting to walk up to the green looking for your ball to then have a teammate casually tell you it went as it would have been to see it go in. Still cool though.

I played Alondra GC (Torrance, CA) on Monday and the conditions weren't good (though it's a muni and the conditions aren't normally all that amazing). It seems as though no maintenance was done during the stay at home order. Though it was nice to see that people were largely adhering to social distancing guidelines and wearing masks, it would have been great if they had taken the time to aerate the course. How are conditions at your club and are people following the rules?

Since people after me got badges, I figured I'd try this again. @GolfSpy MPR Hi! Please add the, Hole in 1 and Albatross badge. I also recently became a donor.

Yeah! I was 18 and it was a short par 4, 325 yards, with a small dogleg to the right. I just cut over the trees and it went into the hole! Definitely the best of both worlds

Out with a 50 in with a 32. It was a roller coaster ride that day.

Tin Cup!!!

Nailing a 3 wood perfectly onto a par 5 in two. That's the best. But really just hitting a shot exactly like you planned it amazing every single time.

Your "good find" sounds suspiciously like stealing

What kind of peasant plays in jeans ... No but seriously, it can get really hot walking around in jeans. I think if people are going for comfort they should wear shorts. I'm accustomed to slacks and short or long sleeve polos. I throw in a straw hat, Aussie hat, or bucket hat with some shades too. When it gets really warm I'll rock shorts, but that's rare.

What about a hole in one on a par 4???!!! That was a nice feeling

Isn't kinesthetic and tactile the same thing?

That's good to hear! I played Victoria in Carson the day before everything was shutdown and it was in horrendous shape. The fairways are by far the worst I've ever seen, basically akin to playing on dirt and mud. With the shutdown ordered the next day, I felt like I asked for week old french fries for my last meal before getting executed.

Yes, this is really important imo. I made sure to shell out extra dough to have my putter swingweights match since I really got a new putter. I always cut down my shafts to 30 inches so the swing weight is very different with the shorter shaft, since putters are generally 33-35 inches in length, unless lead tape or tungsten powder is used. I prefer lead tape under the grip for adjusting the swing weight and I absolutely hate lead tape anywhere on the putter head.

I have a SuperStroke 3.0 on my new putter and Winn Dri-Tac Jumbo Pistol Lite on my old putter (before I decided to buy something else). The SS feels a little odd, I think I prefer the Winn and will probably regrip my new putter to that once the plague passes on. I find that the putter head moves a lot with the SS, on center hits, and it might be due to the grip being so big I am not able to apply enough grip pressure while avoiding tension in my wrists. More practice is needed and my putting matt is only 10 feet long so I need to practice some longer putts to be sure, but I can only imagine the problem will exacerbate with a longer and firmer stroke.
