One of mine was to a baked par 5 fairway with a strong following wind blowing from the Urals,
Drive and eight iron
So yes, in that case, yours counts.

28 (maybe 29) out of 30.
Definitely not done 10 (albatross) and probably not done 22 (18 GIR), but it's not something I take any notice of.

17 and 29 for me, as I more than likely will never join another club it will stay like that.

Even when it's a 49yder.One of mine was to a baked par 5 fairway with a strong following wind blowing from the Urals,
Drive and eight iron

I'll add that the guys I was playing with decided that it was most definitely a hole-in-one, and so a bottle of grog was purchased and on the bar.

28 scratch handicap. My handicap is floating around 2, played courses where that is scratch off the yellows. Does that count?
I'm off +1 from our forward tees, so yes that counts. I'll ignore the fact I've never played from them.

I enquired with England Golf and unfortunately this only counts if you are playing from a measured marker. Sorry.

Most definitely not then.
In my head I was picturing a 399 yard Par 4.
Bet it was a bucket hole as well.
Still struggling to clarify how folk actually know that they have hit 18 greens in Reg.
I would say that it was pretty rare even for the top Pros.
[Bearing in mind that hitting a par 5 in two shots makes it invalid.

To the best of my knowledge, in my 3-4 years of playing, I've
1. Got a handicap
7. Make a par
8. Make a birdie
12. Get a custom fit
14. Holed bunker shot
15. 300 yard drive
21. Break 100
24. No lost balls
25. 2 birdies in a row (I think...)
26. Break 90
27. Join a golf club
30. On a par 5 in two
So I think I'm on 12. It's possible I've also had a round with no doubles, but I'm not certain.

It was probably my pitching (note - pitching not p-) wedge. Dropped it maybe 15yds short; it bounce all over the place before the last bounce and roll took my ball clattering the flag and into the hole. Nae bother.

Any who say either should be hung, drawn and quartered. There is no place in civilized (or even YouTube) golf for such as p-wedge. No, No, thrice No.Who says P-wedge? It's pwedge
