Aces - How many have you had?

[Deleted Member 1156]

Took me 42 yrs Gordon. The next one is due in 36yrs time...

Let's make it a date and get them together

4/3/2052 . :thup:

 

[DCB]

Two for me. One I saw all the way onto the green, bounce twice and drop into the hole, the other was at a hole where the bottom of the flag was not visible from the tee, didn't see that one drop.

 

[One Planer]

Just the one for me so far.

Been plenty close a few times, but still only the one.

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Seems I am luckier than most, 4 so far

 

[HickoryShaft]

Still waiting here been very close on a few occasions but no cigar!

 

[patricks148]

two, both with a 7 iron and both in a comp. 7th at Torvean and 16th at Tain but neither was a good shot.

Big fat 0 for me, in 25 years of playing this wonderful game!
I did hit the flag stick during my first ever game, but haven't been close since.

 

[Imurg]

One - and an unofficial one at that because I was the only person on the entire course at the time.
A 7 iron, 156 yards into the sun, didn't see it pitch or go in.

 

[louise_a]

Still waiting, have hit the flag a couple of times and had some other near misses.

1 for me on a dinky 123 yard shot but what a shot it was if I do say so myself.

As soon as it left the club felt it was good- a little check on it then rolled up and in!

I do look forward to our 2 short par 3's (123 and 148 yards) as you always know there's a chance... the longer 200+ yard holes you don't really expect much other than hopefully hitting the greens

I almost got one while playing 9 holes by myself for practice a few weeks ago. I saw it almost go in, but lip out. Problem is, how would you be able to prove it? Our club has a Hole-in-One board (which I'm on), but you have to do it in a formal competition or match with witnesses. :mmm:

 

[mikeb4]

2 in 5 years of playing

 

[SimonC]

5 for me, it's been a few years since my last one.
One of our members who passed away a couple of years ago had 17 if I remember correctly.

 

[cookelad]

0 for me in 21years been close a few times, though never closer than on our par 4 8th!

Saw 2 in the space of a week on our 17th, one was the group behind us as we were teeing off on 18 and then the following Saturday one of my playing partners.

 

[golfcitydweller]

after 25 years of playing seriously never came really close , then 2 in 3 months , strange game .

 

[FairwayDodger]

None much to my annoyance!

Loads of tap in 2s from a few inches including some that were on the opposite side of the hole from the tee (how did they stay out!!?) but so far not been lucky enough for the first one to drop.

 

[the smiling assassin]

none, but a painfully long list of close calls.
won a closest to the pin last year with the edge of the ball hanging over the lip.
staggered playing partners recently by begging a ball not to go in, mid flight, as i didn't want my 1st ace to be to a temp green. plugged in its pitchmark 6 inches short!

 

[ManinBlack]

One in 1970 & another one two weeks ago. Same hole. Didn't see either go in with hole cut near the front, hidden behind a bunker.

 

[chrisd]

2 for me and they were both goodun's. The 2nd one was the hole after my 4bbb partner and I had just spanked Mashleyr7 and his partner in a winter league match

 

[JohnnyDee]

I too am proud to call myself an Ace virgin.

I'm just waiting for the right *course and occasion* to come along (cleaned that one up a bit compared to what I nearly wrote at first )
