Popular Post GolfSpy_BEN Posted October 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2023 The par 3 3rd at Majestic Springs today produced an entry worthy of this thread. Playing about 120 yards to the pin, I hit a gap wedge and this happened: Without a doubt, the closest I’ve come in my 30+ years of playing this grand game. When I asked @Getoffmylawn if that was a gimme. He said, nope. That’s for birdie. Consequently, he made his birdie putt as well.

cnosil Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Tried to get myself out of this thread today. First par 3 I was about 8 feet away....not bad.. Second par 3 I was about 10 inches away. Ball landed about 2 feet short and ended up just to the right. Third Par 3. Ball hit past the hole and spun back. ended up about 4 feet from the hole.

Tom the Golf Nut Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 My lifetime membership in the aceless club is still intact. But I did have a scare today. Had one heading right at the pin. One bounce and hit the flagstick and ricocheted three feet. At least I made the putt.

mharr Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 While I cannot qualify for this long-running thread (I have 4 aces myself), I just wanted to post here to provide some hope for all of you. A friend of mine (who does not do online web much, so will not be here), just had his first ace, at age 70! He's been playing for 45 years! Always complains that he would never get one whenever conversation gets around to who have had any. And on that day, he almost cancelled his tee time because this or that hurt, and it was too cold, and yada-yadda. But he got his first ace!
