First ever hole in one today!

If I recall right Rachel Gourlay is a member of your place. Really superb golfer with a beautiful swing - she played with Lottie Woad when they won the Sunningdale Foursomes a few years ago and I had a few chats with her before and after the comp...a really nice lass. (y)
Yes, she is a member at ours. Never come across her though.
 
Our 15th, 138 yards, 8 hybrid, lovely shot, one bounce and in. Great feeling 😀
Well done yes must of been a great feeling, what 8 hybrid have you got? I’ve recently got a 6 and 8 hybrid so easy to hit, Eleven clubs are name of manufacturer.
 
How much was the bar bill. 😳

Our 17 th par three 190 yds pin at the back. Today I put it 18” behind the hole it rolled inches past. Closest I have been in years

I'm pretty sure he would have put a bottle on the bar. That seems to be the thing to do now.

Does anyone actually buy everyone in the bar a drink now? Maybe in the past but not for years.

Without wanting to hijack the thread, I did.
£470, as it was on Captain's Charity Day, shotgun start, 110 members, and I knew maybe 10 of them drank spirits.
Decided that wasn't the right thing to do, so just sucked it up.
Insurance covered £200 of it though.

Yea this is the thing I find weird about that version of the custom. In this day and age, how many golfers are going to knock back a quick measure of whiskey before they drive home?? I wouldn't want to encourage that if anything!

Bottle on the bar where I play and the players choice of the drink most put up port.

You get charged the cost of the bottle, I have heard of clubs that still charge by the glass.

Do it in a comp and the club pays for 2 bottles.

Our place charges the hole in one person £75 to put a bottle of Bells etc on the bar. Sod that, am not celebrating my HIO with a rammel whisky. I have an 18 yr old bottle of Rum that’s busting a gut for it to opened.
