If memory serves, you had a close encounter on the blind, uphill par 3, #17 at MeadowWood during the PNW Meetup. I've hit a number within 2' but nothing in the cup. I'm ready for another PNW meet up for sure 4 Quote WITB: Driver: SIM2 Max 12° - Accra TZ6 M4 FW Wood: F7 17.5° - Fujikura Pro Utility: King Forged 20.5° Utility - Catalyst X Irons: D7 Forged GW-5i - Recoils Wedges: Mac Daddy Forged 52° , 56° Putter: MySpider X Cart: Onewheel XR+ Link to post Share on other sites
viking 134 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Almost a hole in one, all it needed was one more roll, inch or so from the cup, 2019 or 2018 at Quarry Oaks #6 167 yards over water. Two guys I teed off with were really happy on the tee box, I could not see it until I was on the green and was very happy of course. 2 Quote Jazz woods (Driver & Hybrids), TNT Silver Eagle Irons, PW & SW, Slotline Inertia putter.

viking 134 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Actually even potentially better i.e. could have won $10,000 but not as close in 2019 at the Carman $10,000 a hole par 3, 18 hole tournament (could win $180,000 if all aces). On the first hole 165 yards out I borrowed a playing partners PING G400 5 iron (that is 15 yards longer than my TNT SilverEagle 5 iron which is a PING Eye2 knockoff from 1985), and hit a fantastic shot that rolled over the left side of the cup and stopped 18" past it, if it would have rolled a little slower it would have gone in and I would have won $10,000. I was the closest to any hole that day (had spotters on every hole of course to make it legit) and won a nice golf shirt instead. It was fun. Last year never got as close to any hole as I did in 2019 when the tournament started. Best thing is the entry fee that year was $10 and $10 for a power cart. Could have turned a $20 investment into a $10,000 gain and my first hole in one in 50 years of playing golf. Had a few within a foot or so on a few other courses and a 150 yard approach shot once, farthest approach hole out was a few years ago 110 yards with my 9 iron. 1 Quote Jazz woods (Driver & Hybrids), TNT Silver Eagle Irons, PW & SW, Slotline Inertia putter.

Well, the payout would be nice but nothing like knowing you have successfully left the "Still Aceless" group . I think the worst scenario would be the ball that finds the bottom of the cup only to be spit out . 3 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver | Official 2019 MGS Tester G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w G410 Irons 4-UW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) B61 Putter Link to post Share on other sites

fixyurdivot 10,593 Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 OK, this is ridiculous. TGC just pointed out that Tae-hoon Kim has had 3 aces at PGA Tour events that have resulted in 3 brand new cars. Whaaat! Tae Hoon Kim can’t stop winning Genesis cars (pgatour.com) I'll leave it to one of our spy statistics specialists to run the probability of this happening once, let alone thrice. I just can say with high confidence that it is low.... really, really low. 4 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver | Official 2019 MGS Tester G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w G410 Irons 4-UW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) B61 Putter Link to post Share on other sites
