would agree, this was my 3rd though. first ive had to buy any drinks.When I had my first hole in one I was playing at an away club, I was understandably elated, until...……………………………… I got in the bar, I offered everyman man jack in the place a drink and pretty much everyone refused and only about one or two congratulated me. Subsequent hole in ones have been at my own club and like others we buy a bottle of whisky and in necessary the club put up another one, nearly everyone has a small nip and almost all congratulate you so its a bit more hospitable.
Well done on your milestone moment, the first is always the most memorable.
1st was in a medal at Torvean, we were out last and the two guys i played with worked on the railway and didn't go in for a drink and they were both heading straight to work after, went in and not a soul left in the bar. 2nd was again in an open at Tain, again one of my PP headed straight off to work after and only me and the other guy went in, only half a dozen left in the place as it was Gala week or something like that, again only had to buy a handful of drinks
