have you ever had

[connor]

a hole in 1? or holed out for an albatros?


or which one would you rather do?

personally ive never had either making a birdie is still a big achievment for me and not garunteed every round.

i would love a hole in one as its just something everyone understands although they can be exspensive. But i think alot of kudos goes with holing out for 2 on a par 5.

 

[pbrown7582]

Never managed either closest been is about 2 inches from a hole in one,
Given a choice I think I would chose the hole in one, much easier to brag about even those who don't understand golf understand a hole in one.

 

[stevie_r]

not had an ace yet but I am willing to bet that if it ever happens it will be when I'm playing a round on my own

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Never a hole in one and be sensible. Being a powder puff short hitter the chances of me find any green in two on a par 5 are remote. A bloke I played in a match a couple of months back was 3 inches away from a 2 at our 2nd. My nett birdie was no good

BOOM!

Done both in one shot then had an Albatross on a par 5 7 wks later to boot. Next question!

Richart has played with me a couple of times so heard the story but not seen the golf to match.



The OP recieved no money for starting this thread.

Great timing Steve. I joined a club with 5 par 3's to improve my chance of a hole in one, but not a sniff so far

 

[Essex_Stu]

We have 6 par 3's at our course and I honestly think 3 of them are very makeable. I have been within a foot on our 17th. The albatros is a lot harder though. Closet i've been is 15ft away lol

 

[USER1999]

Had three hole in ones, and have had back to back eagles, but no albatross as yet. Need something to keep me coming back.

 

[HotDogAssassin]

After 3 months into the game I'm just happy that I've made one par. Into the future I'd love to be able to have just one HiO, but as that would mostly be put down to luck, I'd rather have a host of Albatross's that are due to skill.

 

[brendy]

Two consecutive eagles at our course but never an albatross nor hole in one.....yet.

 

[Dodger]

1 x hole in one but had 2 albatross's.

 

[wull]

never had a hole in 1 or a albatross.i've had loads of eagles,2 this year in competitive play.....holing out from roughly 70 yrds both times.

i'll probably get one whilst playing on my own which would be typical.

 

[Imurg]

Not had an Albatross but I've been close a couple of times
Had an unofficial HIO - was the only person on the entire course......
Looks like being my first year for a long time with no Eagles - usually quite prolific on that front but not this year.

 

[level5s]

had a hole in one but not an albatross.
if I manage either in the future I would like to see the ball disappear as I didnt with my hole in one.

my mate keeps telling me he is going to get a hole in one soon as he has been close a few times lately as if he is dialling in his range, crazy all luck at the end of the day

 

[G1BB0]

8 inches from a HIO on our 3rd, dont think I have hit a green on a par 3 since let alone get that close, I was closest to the flag in the comp though.... shame I didnt enter it

 

[Crow]

Inside three feet and past the hole on a par 4 so must have gone quite close to the HIO / Albatross combo last month, thankfully I made the eagle putt.

 

[RGDave]

No hole in one....been close (like everyone, I guess)

As for an albatross.....never going to happen, not unless someone can invent a par 5 under 450.

 

[AmandaJR]

A hole in one on the 11th the day after lipping out for a hole in one on the 9th and thinking that was my chance! That day there was a big society out and I was called through so would have been expensive (guys on the green were deciding on their drinks as the ball lipped out)!

Hubbie got his a month after mine and we got local headlines
