1st Ever Hole In One

[Garesfield ACE]

Today I hit my first ever hole in one.....after only a couple of years playing golf.
It was at my own club in a Carlsberg Open qualifier.At the par 3 169 yard yellow tees 10th hole.I am absolutely ecstatic,what a feeling when it happened.
To think I nearly didnt enter the comp as max hcap was 20 and I am off 25.But I thought may as well give it a go as one of my playing partners was Brian (Moogie ) off this site and he wanted to play in the comp.
I never ever ever thought I could pull off this feat,but I've done it.Didnt let it affect the rest of my game neither as scored on all holes bar the 16th,and played well.
Yippee

Kev

PS: I get to pay the bar bill from tonight at the weekend,hurray forgolf insurance!

Ace! (So to speak)

Well done.... I've still never had one but will keep plugging away. :cheers:

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!

Well done mate. Never had one close but never the prize.

What club did you use?

There are firms about who will mount your ball for you as a keepsake.

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,

 

[moogie]

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

I think he was that excited after I drove him home afterwards, that he may have ''MOUNTED'' that Ball himself......

well done!!!! out of interest why were you playing an open comp. from the yellow tee's.

To be honest, Ive NO Idea
Its a Carlsberg Challenge qualifier, never played one before, I was even wondering if, because of the real bad weather we have had locally that some medal boxes may hav been 'unplayable'.......?? I dunno

25 Handicapper and a hole in one - Great Skills very well played and in a comp.

I got my only ace on a midweek practice after I'd rang in sick to work... no one witnessed it but had a great feeling and no bar bill
