Hole in One

[dankiz]

So in my 50th year and 17 years after taking up this great game of ours, I finally hit my first hole in one yesterday at Paultons, Ower in Hampshire. 6 iron over water, wind slightly in face, 154 yards or thereabouts. Seemed to take an eternity to drop but an amazing feeling when it did if somewhat surreal. What made it even more memorable was the reaction of my playing partners who were made up! I play golf for the camaraderie and enjoyment of game essentially although I have my ambitions (breaking 80), but to achieve this milestone with my best mates was such a fantastic moment.

Right, I'm getting a bit fed up with all these hole in one threads. Overrated in my opinion, there is no need for them. Good players don't get them


ps.... Well done

Well done. Always jealous of those that get an ace as I've never had one in 30+ years and to be honest never look like getting one

I had come close a couple of times, but this was out of the blue. It will happen when you least expect it, cheers

Hmm, I have a feeling it would be very different in my group of pals. If I beat them to a hole-in-one first I'd get begrudging handshakes and being called a jammy bastard I'm sure.

Well done !
Managed my own 1st HIO last summer too, but chose the worst of days to do it....Captains Day !!
A gaggle on the Balcony awaited my return after the round, after word spread, and cost me £100 across the Bar, but Hapy Days, worth celebrating

Always nice to hear. Even better to see the obligatory lifting the ball out of the hole pic.

I am jealous of all of you have succeeded in this great feat.
One day................
