That's a great shot for an easy tap in birdie, but it's just heartbreaking to see it almost in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but many of the courses in my area have an abundance of shorter holes including my home course, and that was when I was playing a lot and playing well.

B_R_A_D_Y 124 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Question for y’all ... at my club the person who gets a hole in one buys a drink for everyone. I think it’s twisted. Worse than that, I had a 2 for 1 with a stroke and guys tried to pressure me, saying I owed them drinks for the one on my scorecard. I told them since it was a fake hole in one, I would be happy to buy them a fake beer … they did not see the humor.

fixyurdivot 16,560 Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 A nice start to the winter season in Yuma, AZ. Played my first round at Desert Hills. $15 for 18 walking . They just reopened today after overseeding, and the greens were left long and putts quite wonky... 0.2 on the Stimpmeter . #17, 164 yards over the lake. This was pure magic to watch and, while not my closest to the pin, not that far from jugging it. 6 2 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncwoz 2,629 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I had one today with my brother that gave me a scare. Slightly uphill par 3, back pin. I hit a partial 8 iron and the ball was all over the pin the entire flight. We saw one hop, then it disappeared and I really thought I might have plunked it. Turns out I flew the green by about a yard, and the ball plugged which is why it disappeared so fast Still have my aceless membership card! 3 6 Quote Right Handed Driver: 9° Speedzone (HZRDUS Smoke Green 70g X-Stiff shaft) 2 Hybrid: 18° Exotics EXS Pro (Evenflow Black 6.5) (2020 MGS Official Review here) 3/Driving Iron: 18° UiHi Iron (KBS Tour V 110g shaft) Irons: 4-GW T100 irons (Nippon Modus 120 X-Stiff shafts) (2021 MGS Official Review here) Wedges: 54° & 58° TSW Forged (Dynamic Gold S300) Putter: ER2B (2019 MGS Official Review here) Ball: MTB-Black OR MAXFLI Tour OR TP5X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
