Hole in Three!

[MarkKipper]

Lovely afternoon out yesterday with a friend. Played the front nine three over with a couple of birdies in great golfing weather and all is well with the world. Rock up to the tenth, a 175yd par three with out of bounds all the way down the left. Wildly slice my tee shot about 300 yards out of bounds Furious with myself for blatant lack of concentration and as normally happens expecting me to fall apart. My partner hits a decent effort just short of the green. As I play my three off the tee I make the comment "this will have to be a good un". Well it was! Arrow straight pitching just before the hole and rolling in, didnt know whether to laugh or cry!

I'd cry.

Congrats on making a, erm... par!

I'd cry.

Congrats on making a, erm... par!

This... I am kinda gutted for you. Do you keep the ball, do you celebrate?

Do I congratulate you? Saved you some money in the bar I guess.

Nice shot!!

 

[virtuocity]

Hard lines. I'd be gutted, personally.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Seriously unlucky that pal.

 

[Hacker Khan]

Just pretend you are American and take a Mulligan for your first shot. I hopes you get a proper one soon, to stop you going mad if nothing else

Great recovery!

Typical Forummer eh, couldn't slice it 250 yards wide, had to be 300 :lol:

Wildly slice my tee shot about 300 yards out of bounds

Got to be annoying but well done on the recovery!

 

[Fader]

I'd be especially gutted if I were your opponent!

Great par and saved some money in the bar though

Yeah...you're not getting a hole in one for this!!

But you can still buy me a drink for your ace :thup:



:rofl:

A fellow competitor did pretty much the same - but ball was a provisional.

I didn't hurry to look for his first!

 

[DaveyG]

Well done mate...

I have always said if I ever do it... It will be on a second ball.

I have came to within one dimple roll & 1 inch before but really... that means nothing but a very easy birdie!

One day hopefully!

Bit like having a 'hole in one' to a temporary green when it is not in play. Had one of these but not a real one.

 

[MarkKipper]

Well I didn't keep the ball as I managed to chip it into a pond on the very next hole

Was nice to do all the same, but will wait for a 'real' one
