Hole in one poll

[Deleted Member 1156]

Just curious to find out what percentage of people have had an ace. Nearly 50 years of trying but still waiting for my first.

If you've had one (or more!) please feel free to recount it

It’s a no from me, the closest I have been was leaving about 2 feet on the 8th at Stoneham in my first ever comp round.

Got 1 in 2019. A 127 yards 9 iron par 3 ata wee course on Craig Tara caravan site. Was out playing myself and ran up to double check it had bounced in.
Also managed to hit the flag on 2 occasions, once at the Roxburgh possibly the 11th or 12th hole where you hit over water and then another time at rowallan castle again maybe about hole 12

Nope still waiting 20 years now.

Caved the side of our 7th cup in once and on the 17th on the edge of the hole, still not too sure how it didn't drop

Can't vote...
I haven't had "an" Ace
Need an option for 3
Also love the way that, before you vote, it says Multiple votes allowed.....

Two! Both with 7 irons and at different courses. One in a friendly walk round the other immediately following shaking hands in a 4bbb knockout match

 

[Beezerk]

Two as well

1. Slightly downhill, about 160 yards, firm ground, into the sun.
Good strike with the 7iron lost the flight in the sun but I knew it would be down there somewhere.
Couldn't find it, looked in the hole..Bingo.

2. 130ish yards into a breeze
Smooth 8 iron, 2 bounces and dropped

3. About 130ish again, this time a thinned 9 iron barely got 5 feet off the ground, smacked the pin dead centre and dropped...

Plenty playing crazy golf or putting courses.

I was just about to mention that you'd be along in a minute...

4th at Sherwood Forest, 180 into a strong wind.
Perfectly struck 5 iron , delicious ?

 

[BubbaP]

Was on the first par 3 played after the November golf shutdown.
I'd always felt there is a decent amount of luck involved and that hasn't changed having finally had one ?. But what was pleasing is I'd been working on neutralising swing path during the break and this strike (8 iron) was a proper one and landed close to the target.

Me close behind and my six

 

[English golfer in Spain]

About 10 years ago in the second round of our 2 day championship. Took an extra club 7 iron and got it over the front bunker. It rolled close but we didnt see it drop as the pin was just over a brow of a hill.
But the guys on the next tee shouted back to us that it had gone in.

Also I have hit the flag, and had another couple within 12 inches.

 

[harpo_72]

3 std par 3 ones
And 250 yard eagle .. good result from a shocking drive on a 430yard dog leg.

 

[KenL]

3 for me all since 2011. Took a long time to get the first.

 

[DeanoMK]

First ever one June last year.

I won't bore you with the details, again

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

Think I need to join a course with easier par 3's ?

 

[Curls]

Mine was 208 yards in competition, excruciatingly detailed here
