Tom the Golf Nut Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Two feet today on the 14th hole. 175 yards with the green breaking from right to left at that part of the green. Hit right of the pin about 4 feet short and rolled up hole high then rolled left and it rolled right past the hole winding up 2 feet left of the pin. I thought today was the day.

DStar Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Started playing again a few months ago and on the par 3, 3rd, hit an 8i 2 feet past the pin but span back about 15' with a direct line from pitchmark to ball right through the centre of the cup :-( Probably the closest I'll ever get.

Middler Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I had a ball that finished 2" directly behind the hole on a short uphill par 3 a while back. Green above the tee, so none of us saw it - the ball mark was in front of the pin so I'm not sure how it ended up behind the hole/pin. Very unlikely it could have hit the pin and finished behind it. I assume it grazed the lip going by very slowly. Or it bounced just past and backed up a little, as I can still put a little tour sauce on approaches. tony@CIC, sirchunksalot and MattF 3 Quote Titleist TSR2 11° HZRDUS Red CB 50 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Titleist TSR2 16.5º HZRDUS Red 60 CB 6.0 & TSR2 21º HZRDUS Black 4G 70 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Mizuno JPX923 HMP 4-GW, T22 54.12WS, T22 58.04DC w Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Midsize Evnroll EV5.3 Maxfli Tour & ProV1 Ping Pioneer - MGI Zip Navigator AT Payntr X 002 LE, Ecco Biom C4, FJ DryJoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golferguy27 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I came soooo close last week - par three, flew a 6 iron that hit the left edge of the hole (ripping it apart in the process), then caught the actual metal cup edge, ball bounces 16 feet away and of course I three putt Ridiculously close and that probably my proxy for a lifetime hole in one, given the odds shared above by @Tom the Golf Nut - from that my probability is 0.015% - so I guess I've achieved that tony@CIC, Tom the Golf Nut, MattF and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post THEZIPR23 Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 Slightly downhill 201 yard par 3, into a little breeze pin 2 yards left of center. No matter where the pin is on this hole it is 5 iron to the center of the green. Well I happened to hit it exactly on target. Ball starts right at the center of the green and draws 2 yards lands 2" right of the hole takes a bounce disappears behind the pin and comes out the other side. One of the most disappointing 2's I have ever made in my life.
