IndyBonzo Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Still aceless. I had my closest miss last weekend playing with @GolfSpy_BEN on a 150+ yard par 3. My iron shot jarred the cup on the fly and ricocheted against the pin, jumping off the green to the left. The pin or cup left a pretty nasty scuff on the ball too. What an odd and bittersweet series of emotions: "That felt good. Looks good. Is this happening? Oh my G...!!! Wait, what? Did that just ...? Aw man. I'm chipping now?"

I've seen someone lip out an ace and I swear I could hear his heart breaking. Having recently done both having the ball stop within a foot or so is more brutal. I bounced one off the stick and it dropped to the green and sat about 4 inches from the hole. I have done that a few times over the years. I am still waiting on the one that actually drops in the hole. fixyurdivot, Michael Milich and IndyBonzo 3 Quote Driver QI10 max Hybrids G430 2, 3, 4 Irons ZX4 6-PW Wedges Hi-Toe 50, 54, 58 Putter L.A.B.

Erin B Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I've had an albatross, never an ace. My son has had an ace, he's only been playing a couple years. I almost had an ace, playing on a cold October day. I think I've told this story before here. Anyway, the cup had ice up to the top of it so there was no hole. It was even with the green with the pin sticking out. I hit my shot and it rolled right to the pin, bounced off the pin just to the edge of the cup. If the cup had been empty or even had water instead of ice in it, the ball would have dropped. My buddies called it an ace, I did not, therefore no ace. IndyBonzo, fixyurdivot and Siamese Moose 2 1 Quote I could play golf every day and learn something new each time.

Popular Post BIG STU Posted August 22 Popular Post Share Posted August 22 Well after over 50 years of playing this game I am now finally out of this club. Got my 1st on a regulation course 5-21-24. Our 11th hole at 137 yards over water. Hit an antique Macgregor 8 iron. I actually had given up after so many close calls over the years. I have had a bunch on Par3 courses but never one on a regulation course. Did it with 3 witnesses in my 4 some in a tournament plus a bud of mine walking his dog saw it too and one of the maintenance guys saw it too. I always figured it would come while I was by myself playing one of my vintage rounds. LOL it paid good too. Hit the Members Pool plus the league pool, It was also a closest to the pin hole for the event that day and of course I hit the birdie pool on that hole for the day.

Popular Post Tom the Golf Nut Posted August 24 Popular Post Share Posted August 24 At least I had a scare today. 140 yard 8 iron past the flag by about 10 feet then spun back down the slight slope.

chisag Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 On 8/22/2024 at 3:36 AM, BIG STU said: Well after over 50 years of playing this game I am now finally out of this club. Got my 1st on a regulation course 5-21-24. Our 11th hole at 137 yards over water. Hit an antique Macgregor 8 iron. I actually had given up after so many close calls over the years. ... Love to see you leave the club! We are serious members here and don't take kindly to those of you holing out on non regulation courses as an excuse as I am of the opinion that if I visited Jim Nantz's home and hit my tee shot into his backyard par 3 it would count as a Hole In One by the very definition found in Websters Dictionary. ... I have worked very hard to remain a card carrying member here. I have backed up an 8 iron that hit the pin and bounced 3" away. I have hit the pin from the front several times bouncing off and leaving a tap in. I have flown the ball into the hole not once but twice doing damage to the cup and both times it bounced out. And just to prove I could leave this club if I really wanted to, I have hit my tee shot into the hole on a regulation par 3. But I was smart enough to do it after spinning back a pw from 120 into the water and re-teeing so my "HIO" was a par. Pretty smart huh? I think I taught the Golf Gods a little lesson with that shot. ... So enjoy your new life outside the club and if you need to get in touch I will be here.

I have had a bunch on Par3 courses but never one on a regulation course. Did it with 3 witnesses in my 4 some in a tournament plus a bud of mine walking his dog saw it too and one of the maintenance guys saw it too. I always figured it would come while I was by myself playing one of my vintage rounds. LOL it paid good too. Hit the Members Pool plus the league pool, It was also a closest to the pin hole for the event that day and of course I hit the birdie pool on that hole for the day. So see it can happen Congrats! I missed this.
