1st Ever Hole In One

Hello ladies and gents
Thanks for all the kind and complimentary posts about my ACE.I have been very busy last couple of days hence I apologize for not getting back on until now.Also I am not the kind of person who laps up praise so it feels a bit strange in the aftermath after my miraclous feat.
I shall try to reply to your individual posts soon......

Cheers

Kev

FD:Cheers....I dont think us golfers ever set out to get a hole in one?? I mean its just an absolute bonus/dream when it happens.Still find it hard to believe it REALLY happened.

One day you might get that piece of luck that I got mate.

Well done Kev, I can't imagine what it would be like.

Give us a commentary then... rolled in, bounced in, could you even see it go in?

169yds?
I hope it was no more than an 8 iron![/QUOTE

Region: There is where my bit 'embarressment' kicks in!

Its a tough uphill par 3 with no fairway just rough/semi rough/then 20 yards of 'fringe' before the green.I am not a long hitter so I cant get there with a iron.I can get that distance with my 22d rescue but have not the confidence to use it off the tees AND in the current heavier conditions I could not land that club shot on or next to the green.So I am 'afraid' it was my driver that did it!!!

Ita an elevated tee so yes I saw it go in...I wanted left of the bunker as the rough/semi rough plays left to right (like the green huge slope ) in the hope it would kick right on to the green.But I hit it too straight and it flew around 155 yards at the bunker.The power took it out of the bunker near the back lip.....and it curved in a half circle toward the hole and rolled in.Time stopped still at first for me.Surreal,culdnt believe it.My 2 playing partners went dafter than me! 2 green keepers saw it as well.
Then after 20 seconds or so I couldnt keep calm couldnt shut up was dead excitedWouldnt believe it properly until I saw in it IN THE HOLE!!
Found it very hard to concentrate properly on the next tee....but it gave me a great feeling to hit a cracking drive down the fairway AND keep enough concentration to score on every hole bar 1 that was left.Forgive me I may have already mentioned this earlier!

Cheers

Kev

PB:Thanks mate,aye with my 5 shot 'deficit' I was only 7 points off winning the qualifier! I dont no if I will get a cut although I wish I could thats what IM STRIVING FOR IN GOLF.I played to my hcap on gross score but it was Stapleford so gross doesnt count?
 
Nice one mate - have played for a lot of years and done everything but get one in, lipped out, hanging over the lip (a strong gust of wind would have done the job), pitched one straight in and bounced out (heard the clatter)

I'm not jealous :whistle:

I'm trying to to work out which hole it was. Is that the one in the top corner near the club house.Well done.

Wuuki: you must no the course.No its not by the clubhouse its down the 'valley' way.Uphill par 3 from elevated tee big sloping green left to right.You must be thinking of the 2 par 3's near the clubhouse....the 120 yarder by the road or the 18th 190 yarder (YELLOW TEES )

Cheers

Well done Kev , great feeling , had my 1st earlier in the year, savage feeling ... did it help an already decent score ? talk us through it,[/QUOTE

bladeplayer:cheers.wonderful feeling it is.yeah I had a very good round and kept concentrating AFTER the ACE to only fail to score on 1 hole the 16th...back 9 was 16 putts (best ever) and 44 strokes (2nd best ever )Mentioned in an earlier post how it happened.

YES , I was there...........and chuffed to bits for Kev
I watched it all the way , shouted for it to jump the bunker ( it did ) , then 1 more bounce, a roll, and IN THE HOLE

There were even 2 greenkeepers watching from behind the green

Id played 1st , and knocked a 6 iron into about 5 Feet , and was more than happy, then Kev sinks his ACE , great stuff, and in an Open Comp too, well done again mate

Cheers Brian

Your shot was fantastic a proper golf shot..mine was 90% luck but I am still very proud and happy.

Good write up by you mate...'unfortunately' wasnt able to 'MOUNT' my ball that night!!!..I left it safely in my golf bag.Safely???!! I left my keys in my locker door with the excitement,daft git.
