COVID19 Hole in One?

Like many courses, I assume, mine is leaving the cups 1/2 out. This is great for scoring and had a “birdie” today on a bladed chip that didn’t even finish on the green, but hit the cup so it didn’t matter where it stopped.

 

But on the 17th hole I hit one directly over the flag and it sucked back to 2” from the side of the cup. I was actually glad it didn’t touch the cup because the angle it was rolling would not have gone in under normal circumstances.

 

So would this have been a hole-in-one or a hole-in-one*?

That is interesting. I LOVE the scoring opportunities that creates. The course I play on put a cut piece of a pool noodle so that the ball only has about an inch to fall into the cup so you can grab your ball without actually touching anything. I like the cup out better. I wonder if there would be any problems if the wind kicked up....ie causing damage to the green as the cup rocks?

Thanks for sharing!

I doubt the wind would be an issue. They are really just cutting the hole 1/2 depth and sticking the full cup in. It is supported on the bottom and all around. However, since this is Texas and the wind in my town averages 14 mph per day than we will soon see.

Water has been more of an issue than wind today. I slipped twice today in the mud, once ending up on my back in the soup. I wish I would have had a picture of that. Although it was not near as funny then as it is now.

I spoke to a guy that played with 2 college golf scholarship players yesterday. The conditions here are horribly wet. The whole course can qualify as casual water, but these two realized all they had to do was fire at the hole. One shot a 63 and the other a 64.

It is a fun way to play.

Scores playing in these conditions can't be posted….hence a hole in one is not....

Spoil sport!

Yeah. I was really glad it did not strike the cup at an angle that would have normally gone in. That would have been very disappointing.

I've seen where several courses are using a pool noodle or some sort of disc to effectively raise the bottom of the cup to a point where I think it would be more difficult to hole some shots. Surely, a hole-in-one under those circumstances would count?
