Holes-in-one

[Jarro]

How many have you had :?:

I've never had one, in competition or social play :roll:

One day maybe :lol:

[jaster]

I have had 1 hole in one, and I currently have a hole in my sock :?

[AndyP]

No hole-in-ones for me. The best I can come up with is a 75m pitch-in.

[Iain]

Nope, me either... :roll:

[terryand]

It was a cold and windy rainy day......arh cut the crap :?

I've had one, and in a comp is that worth more 8)

Terry.

[Jarro]

competition holes in one will be endorsed.

social ones will not :P :lol:

[Onewood]

I've had 2 hole in ones :D

Is a corperate day classed as a comp :wink:

If so I've had 2
If not Ive had 1
But they both went in the HOLE IN ONE :lol: :lol:

When did you have a hole in one Kev????

[markTHEblake]

I had one at Robina Shopping Centre, I got a set of golf clubs for my trouble.

what did you get for yours Onewood, apart from the overwhelming adulation.

[Onewood]

Hows this one :D
I was bragging at work, about a hole in one I had on Sunday the 25th April 2004....as you would if you have a hole in one :D

Back to the story

This guy said he's only ever had a plugged hole in one :roll: I asked him what a plugged hole in one was :? he said, you know where they have moved the hole from and plugged the hole up :lol: :lol:

Have you ever had a plugged hole in one :lol: :lol:

[goughy]

Nah mate. But I would have won a lot of nearest the old pin's in my time.

[Jarro]

somehow i don't think that counts Onewood :roll: :lol:

[Onewood]

somehow i don't think that counts Onewood :roll: :lol:

This guy was serious :D

Gee this is good to be able post around people with a sense of humour 8) can I make spelling mistakes here :D nobody tell damo :wink: :D

[goughy]

If anyone tries to correct you on your spelling we'll remove what they had to say. Sounds fair?

[Onewood]

Kevvy
PS Why did you pull the pin on the tipping comp. I can ease off a bit if i'm embarassing you.

Not going to be there for the bragging right's, so I thought why be there :roll: I'm still in the tipping, just not in that comp anymore :D I might start up an ozgolf one and just have me in it :D I could brag every week :wink:

[goughy]

Onewood, if you pick none from none then I'm not gonna let you brag. :D

[Marto65]

One ... Eastlakes Golf Club 2nd Hole. 4iron. Eastlakes Cup 1992.

[Ferrins]

No, but I plan to get one next Sunday.

[Goldy]

Never had one.

But I do nominate it before every par 3. That way, when (notice, when, not if) it happens, I can say I called it.

[Courty]

I hit the base of the flag at the 11th at Cairns GC a few weeks back with Haysey in tow. Unfortunately it wasn't in comp, so it still would have meant nuffin. ;)

Almost had one yesterday. Mt Lawley 13th, downhill Par 3, 124m, slight headwind. 9 iron landed abou 3ft in front of the hole... bounced up and past the flag...lipped out with the backspin!

Made 2 thankfully.

[BayBum]

1 hio.Punch 6i into the wind,138m.

[Nuffie]

That's just cruel.

[MegaWatty]

I'm sure I've had other close ones, but I'll never forget that one.

[mike]

I hit the flagstick once. 4 feet up on the fly.

[MegaWatty]

Did you catch the shot thin?

[mike]

Very.

[IanO]

Never had one ... 2 very close:
- one rainy day in 1980 (scarred for life) I hit the flag on the short Par 3 in Romsey and the ball dropped straight down and stopped about 6" from the hole
- Corporate day 120m Par 3 hit a Pitching Wedge that hit 6" short of hole bounced past and spun back to 6" past the hole. I missed out on the SAAB 900 Convertible that was the prize and got a bottle of Moet for nearest the pin (what a rip-off)

[AllanH]

5th hole on the old City course at Wagga (inside the racetrack) in 1972 (showing my age now), been close a few times since. My stepson had 2 before he was 10

Almost had a hole in 3 once. Rolled over the edge of the hole. Dunked the first one in the water. Loser.

[blurry]

1 , 13th at Leonay in sydney, playing with two old geezers who then started telling me that 'I've had 6 ' and 'I've had 4' :roll:,but wouldn't come in for a beer afterwards because the y had to go home and mow the lawns.

[razaar]

I have been lucky enough to have four (all in comp) since 2000. Three were during pennant competitions and one during the Saturday competition. The ace at the 14th at RQ in 2003, during a stiff westerly to a left pin was memorable. I hit it on a line outside the left bunker and the wind did the rest. Darryl Wilkins, the opposition, called it in as it was drifting in to the green.

The 13th at Pacific was also a good one. I was three down after 12 and pretty well fed up. I was playing a member from Brisbane GC (who was Japaneze) who was having a field day on the greens. He was being driven around the course by his wife. They would drive up to my ball and then drive up to the green for a look, which pissed me off. At 13 he hit it to 7ft, I looked at my caddy and said "I am ####ing sick of this". His reply was " Ask his missus if she ####s in the mens toilets". That started me giggling and changed my frame of mind.

Mike Clayton listed the 14th at RQ as one of his favourite short holes in Australia. Unfortunately it is no longer.

[Marto65]

Mike Clayton listed the 14th at RQ as one of his favourite short holes in Australia. Unfortunately it is no longer.

I agree ... it was the best hole in Brisbane at the very least.

[Veefore]

I have had 1 hole in one, and I currently have a hole in my sock :?


On saturday both feet slipped when I was playing my 3 wood second shot and I hit it so far off the toe that it looked like a shank. Lost ball and nearly a face plant as well. On sunday, second shot, right foot slipped, same club and I hit such a pull hook it hit the trees about 100m ahead of me and disappeared.

I think I need to replace those little nubs under my shoes that used to be soft spikes.

[Marto65]

Bump for Ned ...

Bumping this for L4G!

Another one? Really.... I was hoping to be the third.

[live4golf]

Thanks NK.

Officially got my first HIO today..WooHoo :)

12th at Kooindah Waters, 176m from the plates in the Medal. Honestly, it never looked like missing. Played a 4i with a slight draw that landed a few metres short and a little right of the pin and it rolled in perfectly, my playing partners were rapt...almost as much as me :)

This is the hole from the tee:
27630

This is the ball in the hole:
27631

I even managed to keep it together after this to finish with a good score. :)

Happy to have joined the club.

[Ashes]

Nice work!!!

[Dangals]

awesome - congrats L4G - even better that you didnt let it get to your head and derail the round!

[Lucasto23]

Great work to all the HIO kings :) great feeling having one :)

[dc68]

Not drunk just a few goldies afterwards. The hole was playing about 110 downwind hit a GW landed about 4ft right of the hole and a bit past and spun back and in. At least I saw this one go in!!!!

[Lagerlover]

Congrats mate...greedy prick.

[dc68]

Yeah I shouldn't have had more than 2 golds.

[mrbluu]

Well done mate!!!

[Jarro]

Well done DC !!

[Haystacks]

Nice work fellas!

[Buzz]

Have never had one but two weeks ago went just about as close as you can get without holing .... was officially marked on the NTP card as 3cm. Was interesting having a birdie putt I could only have missed if I hit it too hard :)

Fortunately this was a Sunday comp and the golden shot hole rather than a standard NTP.

So close but still have never done it.

[androooo]

I've had 3...

11th at Tasmania GC when I was 12
8th at Tasmania GC
3rd at Tea Tree GC (Par 4)

[LeftyHoges]

I'm gonna get one in about 1.5 hours. I can feel it in my hard-on.

[WBennett]

I'm gonna get one in about 1.5 hours. I can feel it in my hard-on. Quoted for posterity

[liptout]

Got the 'fats' real bad yesterday and tried fixing it with a little swing change, low and behold got the shanks!! Hit no less than 6 hozel rockets although to be fair, 2 actually came off the toe but had the same shank result!!

Stood up on the 13th (at Windsor in Sydney) with another swing thought (was playing like a busted so wasn't gona hurt was it??), and finally made contact with the friggin ball......

Ball went a little to the right then started coming back with a tiny little draw, the perfect little shot really. Got a awesome bounce of the front mound near the bunker......

"Do it c#nt, do it" was the call I heard myself say, and BOOM, it did it!! Straight in the Hole.....

Happy days!!

2 out of my 3 playing partners were a well into their 80's, so the celebrations were a little subdued but they managed to get their hands up high enough for a couple of high 5's each.......

:D

[matty]

Awesome. At least the little white ball listened while you verbally abused it. Lucky you weren't playing with us. You might have been tackled.

[Dotty]

Doesn't count, if you use a yellow ball. ;)

Well done, Lippy.

[Jarro]

Congrats Lippy 8)

[Dangals]

Well done mate, best see about a new user name now hey.

[Haystacks]

Good job!

[liptout]

Thanks boys.....

I'd always thought to myself, that's it no real big deal a Hole in one, that if I ever did end up getting one it probably wouldn't mean a great deal etc etc

But boy wasn't I wrong!!

It's an awesome feeling. ;)

[KristianJ]

Well done mate, best see about a new user name now hey. Application received to change it to GROOVES_NOB. ;)Well done mate!

[Monsta]

Well Done Lip

[sms316]

Was it in a comp?

[BenM]

Congrats! It's a great feeling :)

[goughy]

Was it in a comp?

No congratulations? How rude.

[sms316]

No congratulations? How rude. I'll congratulate him if it was in a comp, otherwise it isn't a hole in one.

[goughy]

Why?

[Shadesy]

Doesn't count, if you use a yellow ball. ;) Well done, Lippy.

I've had none then :-(

[sms316]

Why?
Because there is nothing official about it.

[goughy]

Does the have to be? Can you quote me the section of the rules book that covers this? Or is it based on your informed opinion? If it happens in a comp where is the permanent record kept?

[sms316]

Does the have to be? Can you quote me the section of the rules book that covers this? Or is it based on your informed opinion? If it happens in a comp where is the permanent record kept?
Can you show me where social golf is covered in the rule book?

You haven't explained why it is not relevant yet though.

[Hatchman]

Does the have to be? Can you quote me the section of the rules book that covers this? Or is it based on your informed opinion? If it happens in a comp where is the permanent record kept?

I haven't been to too many Golf Clubs that don't have a hole in one honour board or shield. Must be in comp for name to go on.

[goughy]

Of course. A quick search says Tiger Woods has 18 holes in one. Is this correct or not? I'm just trying to ascertain whether sms is stating fact or opinion? It comes across as though he's stating fact. If opinion then it's up to the individual to decide whether his opinion matters or not. That's all.

[goughy]

I haven't been to too many Golf Clubs that don't have a hole in one honour board or shield. Must be in comp for name to go on.

So have you been to some that don't have a hole in one board?

[LeftyHoges]

I'll congratulate him if it was in a comp, otherwise it isn't a hole in one.


Why?

28026

Here fishy, fishy, fishy...

[Ron Burgundy]

It's called a hole-in-one, not a hole-in-one-in-a-comp.

Granted if it's not in a comp your name won't be on an honour board, but who plays golf just to get their name on a dusty board in the corner of a club? Regardless of the context, getting the ball from the tee to the hole in one stroke is a hole-in-one and should be congratulated.

[Ron Burgundy]

28026Here fishy, fishy, fishy...True. But taking the bait is fun. And on a related note, obviously the size of the fish you catch only counts if it's in an official angling competition.

[3Puttpete]

http://www.usga.org/rulesfaq/rules_answer.asp?FAQidx=148&Rule=100

[goughy]

So that's the most legitimate answer yet.

I should clarify, I have no issue with anyones opinion regardless of what it is. As I have no issue with sms believing anyone currently using an anchored putter is cheating. That's his opinion. I'm just interested in a clarification of whether it is legitimate or not? I do think a posting would be more correct by starting with 'in my opinion...', but that would be less fishing then.

[Dotty]

My mate's dad just missed a hole-in-one on a par 4 yesterday. Hit the pin and stopped a foot away.

ps. Because he is 87 and now 52.4kg (don't forget the .4), we get him to hit off where our best drive ends up. In this case, it was 75m from the pin.

[Dcanto]

Belated congrats liptout.

[goughy]

Yes, absolutely Lipout. Awesome, and you really should change your username now. Sorry to distract things from your achievement, just after clarifications.

[liptout]

Application received to change it to GROOVES_NOB. ;)Well done mate!

Hahaha, nice KJ... Well done. :)

Just for the record, it was in a comp yea. I don't play social golf (or practise for that matter) so everything I do on a golf course counts, including hazel rockets, and shots of the toe that behave like hazel rockets......
It won't get my name on the board, cause I'm not a member of that club anymore. But the bastards never even put it in the result section of today's paper. That I'm dirty about!! ;)

But I do love this discussion whether it counts or not... It's gold, pure gold...

[Peppas]

Congrats Lippy!

[wazandnic]

Nice work LO



It won't get my name on the board, cause I'm not a member of that club anymore.

If it was in a comp, being a member shouldn't matter. I have my name on 2 boards I am not a member at! ;)

[sms316]

Just for the record, it was in a comp yea.
In that case, congratulations. Well done.

[live4golf]

In that case, congratulations. Well done.

I agree 100% (only because I wouldn't have one to my name otherwise :oops:).


http://www.usga.org/rulesfaq/rules_answer.asp?FAQidx=148&Rule=100

That's nice, but unfortunately meaningless as Australia is under the jurisdiction of the R&A, not USGA. :p

[Lucasto23]

Well down lip out

[Hatchman]

So have you been to some that don't have a hole in one board?

Not that could list by name instantly but I'm sure there is some out of the 100+ I've played at.

[Frank]

I'll congratulate him if it was in a comp, otherwise it isn't a hole in one. If it isn't a Hole in one, what is it? Hole in 2, 3 shots? Birdie? Par?He took 1 shot on the hole so it's a hole in one. Cannot see how it can be anything else.

[AndyP]

If it isn't a Hole in one, what is it? Hole in 2, 3 shots? Birdie? Par?He took 1 shot on the hole so it's a hole in one. Cannot see how it can be anything else.
It's an eagle obviously.

[wizard_of_oz]

Sadly, I have never made a Par in my life as I only play social golf in the 2 years I've played. Well, technically I've gone over 100 rounds without making a bogey since they don't count as it wasn't in a comp.

[Buzz]

Congrats on the ace, must be an awesome feeling!

[Frank]

It's an eagle obviously. You're right there mate, it was an eagle.As far as it being a hole in one, it either happened or it didn't. The fact that it was in a comp makes it all the more better.Well done mate.

[Captain Nemo]

Well done Lippy, what course?

[Hux]

Not that could list by name instantly but I'm sure there is some out of the 100+ I've played at.

Nudgee has a book that records the Hole in Ones rather than names on the honour board - how many Hole in One Boards can they hang up?

[liptout]

Well done Lippy, what course?

Was out at Windsor mate....

Not an overly tough hole, only plays around 150 odd from the tips to the centre of the green, but it's a hole that I reckon I've wiped more times than I've pared the stupid thing!! ;)

[Ned]

Congrats to Russell, HIO on St Pats Day at Mossman GC's 13th hole today.

[benno_r]

Paging Benno_r!

You rang??

Course: Hervey Bay - open comp
Hole: 12th - 119m par 3
Club: Nike Covert Forged 9i
Ball: Nike RZN Black - Volt.

Knew today was going to be a tough round after flushing it at the range (always a bad sign). Started Wipe/1/1/1. Managed to pick up a few more points, with a bird at 8, and a pars at the tough 9th and 11th.

Pin located center green, which is blocked out with a large bunker. Flushed a 9i that never looked like missing. Disappeared behind the pot, and I had a good feeling it was close. As I got closer to the green, couldn't see the ball - figured it was in or over the back. Walked straight to the hole to see my little volt ball peaking back out at me.

Pretty stoked for my first HIO - even happier it was a flush shot not a flukey chunk.

Well played Champ!

Thanks Lads!

Though now I am running out of reasons to keep playing. Maybe a third title, and I can retire and Symbol can have his name back.

[backintheswing]

Had a par round yet?

And was your Nike covert cast CDM?

[Peppas]

Congrats Benno!

[LarryLong]

Onya Benno!

Nah, enough par rounds get shot on Ozgolf - nothing special there. HIO are hard to get around here, and don't think anyone is a 3x champ.

Coverts are half forged, half plasma welded loveliness.

MIC but not CDM bro.

Going to hit Nike up - Peps and PJ got a trophy from Callaway, so want one from Nike. Rory's claret jug will be fine.

Super stuff Benno, all that mopping is obviously helping. Looking forward to seeing what trophy you get from Nike, maybe one of Tigers old ones?

[LeftyHoges]

Thanks Lads!

Though now I am running out of reasons to keep playing. Maybe a third title, and I can retire and Symbol can have his name back.

You're nothing until you've become the true OZgolf champ (and by that I obviously mean VIC Champ). That's the pinnacle.

Well done on the HIO though mate. Welcome to the club.

[Dotty]

Congratulations, Young Benno.

Ok...encouraged to do this by benno...not that I need much encouragement...and I can see he was the last guy in here to post...I had my first hole in one on Saturday.

Course: Growling Frog - stroke comp
Hole: 5th - 137m par 3
Club: TM RBZ 5 hybrid
Ball: Srixon AD333

Played the previous week for the first time with the group I was in...3 Frog members, I usually bring a group of my own mates, who on this day were in the group behind us.

Playing off 19 (136 slope), started par, bogey, bogey, bogey...and the 4th hole was a scramble with a 20 footer after hitting flush a tree on the corner near the green and bouncing back into the rough.

Pin located center green, which is wide but not deep, and protected by a large bunker to carry about 120. Flushed my 5h with a baby draw straight over the centre of the bunker. Landed about 6 feet short on line and rolled towards the hole. At this stage, I'm thinking...that's gonna be pretty close. It rolls to the pin...and then disappears. The guys in the group immediately react...2 of them had holed this one over the years...and say "that's in". I'm incredulous...I reckon it's behind the pin and that's why I can't see it. John, our 5 marker in the group, says he's got good eyes...it's in. At this point, the heart rate leaps to double its normal level. As I got closer to the green, couldn't see the ball - figured it was in or over the back. Walked to the back of the green first to make sure it wasn't there...and then to the hole to see my ball nestled comfortably at the bottom of the cup, behind the pin! It fell in backwards like a putt! Suffice to say...we all made some pretty significant noise.

I'm paraphrasing benno's post a bit here...totally stoked for my first HIO - even happier it was a flushed shot and not a scungey fluke topped or bounced off a tree...although I'd have taken it.

I turned to my group and said..."you see those blokes in the group behind us...they're mates of mine. Right about now, the conversation they're having will be something like...right, at the end of the round, straight to the car park...no talk, things on, gotta go..."

Head spun for a bit...3 jab double on the next hole...but managed to shoot a net 69 and win the comp. NTP, Eagles nest (also my first), comp win, members bonus, honour board. One of my mates took the ball and is making a trophy for me out of it...I suspect it will be something ridiculous...

As days go...it wasn't a bad one.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks mate...no...I was the one out of pocket. I was very tempted to call the wife to get a lift from someone out to the course (about 25 minutes from home) so she could drive me and my car home, in order that I could continue drinking. But...I didn't.

[3oneday]

Good one, great read, it's a great feeling and it made me smile reading this :)

[Roxgolf]

Only one. Two months ago at Long Reef Golf Club (http://longreefgolfclub.com.au/). Never played there before, it's a very nice course. I am hoping for another one next weekend. Fingers crossed :D

[Goldy]

Good one, great read, it's a great feeling and it made me smile reading this :)

Pleased to make you smile mate...trust me...I still am...

All hail the mighty 5 hybrid.

Well done.

Hmmmm....yeah, Dotty. I've got 3/4/5 in the bag...I think in another life...or possibly this one...I'm a South Korean girl on the LPGA tour....

I guess I know my limitations....take the club for the job, and don't really give a shiny shite what the others may think. I had lunch today with one of my mates who was in the group behind me...he birdied the hole...and said to me "I used an 8 iron" I responded..."well...did it go in?"

:-)

[Steve57]

Well done Goldy!

nice 1 Goldy,
hopefully 1 of many to come

14/08/1999
Mt Coolum Golf Course
Hole 10 (first hole, first shot of the day)
110m
7 iron (PGA oversized found in the bushes)

My hole in 1 story was when I was 15 years old playing in Charlies Juniors Sat comp at Mt Coolum Golf Course on the 14th August 1999.
Perfect Spring morning, hit it sweet, I thought it went off the back (cant see the hole due to front lip of green elevated)
So stoked, was buzzing after finding the ball in the hole and ended up shooting my best score that day, though had a few blowout holes.
Still got the trophy and ball mounted on it, def the happiest day of my teenage years indeed.
Time for another though

GA 16.6
Northern Golf Club Melbourne
Warm down day of the Ozgolf Vic Champs
Ok so par 3 4th playing 127m. Slightly elevated green meaning the ball could not be seen enter the hole. Got onto the ree with a 9 iron but went back to the bag after realising the wind behind me was significant. KJ sticks one to 6 foot and i jumped up and flushed one high and it carried on the wind. Cant be sure but a lack of pitch mark may even mean a slam dunk. Ben m and courty found it in the cup as kj and I were gasbagging behind!!
I was quite literally in shock as i had been swing like a busted arse all weekend. Super sweet, followed by the giarenteed hosel rocket on the 5th!!

[Dotty]

Congratulations Rickie.

ps. It could have run around the bunker, and that was why there was no pitchmark. ;)

Nice work Rickie - took a bit to knock off my NTP on 4 - from the 5th tee - which ricocheted off the tree and sat 4 foot away!

[Grumpy8]

Congrats rickie

There was a ridge? Christ, no wonder I 3-jacked the damn thing!

[Slug]

At least you didn't thin it off the tee and run it through the bunker only to land inside your ball on the green haha

Royal Queensland Single Stab today.
17th playing 117m.

PW baby draw, landed about 2 feet short rolled forward and into the cup.

They only had one NTP out today and it wasn't on 17, so nothing bar great memories.
