Hole in One #3

101yds and a little wind in the face. hit it 108-109, spun it back about 20ft, and i think it hung on the lip a second before dropping but couldnt really tell. It took forever!

It was my first swing of the day on the first hole of an executive course. That makes 3 on 3 different courses, with 3 different clubs, and my first since 2015.

Edit: I just realized that I got all 3 of them in the month of May which is a bit of an odd coincidence.

Nicely done.

Congrats!

Awesome!

Thx Guys. It happened on Saturday , just got bored yesterday and decided to post it. Always feels good!

My dad always told me growing up, hole in one at an exec doesn't count. :(

CONGRATS!

He was wrong.

What club did you use? How did it come off the face?

3/4 52* and pretty flush considering the spin. Its my 115 club full, and flew about 108 then sucked back.

Impressive and congrats...

but also screw you dude! :)

I've been playing for nearly 40 years and still have nary a one! Stop hoarding all the aces!

Nice work! Welcome to the 3 ace club (humble brag on my behalf).

Good job. My only hole in one I thought I lost the ball (long par 3 with water in front, flag on front edge) before I discovered it in the hole. Hoping to add to the collection soon. How often do you play?

lol my apologies! theres such an element of luck involved. My dad has been playing 30 years and doesnt have one either. When i worked in Scottsdale, I met a gentleman by the name of Dave "gravy" Thomas. he was in his 80's and a good player for his age, and had been a member at a par 3 course for decades. He has over 50 hole in ones! Had 2 in a week while i was working there, and had been in the Arizona Golfer and other publications for his ace tally. Unreal...i wonder if hes still around and what his number is at now...

Thats awesome. None of my aces were far enough to have been looking for the ball first. 130yds was the longest one so that would be cool to have happen. Ive def. lost a ball and checked the hole just in case...never found it in there though...

I dont play nearly as much as i used to, about 15 rounds a year now. I used to play like 60-100 rounds a year from about 2000-2011 though, and still practice a fair amount as i dont have as much time. Play to a 1-3hdcp nowadays but have been as low as +1 like a decade ago. My wedge game has always been the strongest part of my game, so I guess its fitting that all 3 of my aces came with a wedge of some variety.

Hell yeah dude! 2 of my best friends are at 3 and 4, and the one with 3 has one of them on a par 4, so Im trying to keep up!

PS Nice profile pic. Where is that?

There is a course I play that has a plaque on the wall behind the check in counter with three balls mounted on it.. A regular player there had a hole in one on one of the par 3's on the front then got another one on one of the par 3's on the back in the same round. Two days later he aced one of the other par 3's . Two in the same round and three in the same week all different holes.

**## CONGRATS ON ACE #3**

Great job! Chasing #3 myself!

Sounds like you are a lot better than me haha, gives you more of a chance for hole outs , hole in ones etc. Good luck getting number 4 soon

congrats....not only am I chasing #3 but I'm also chasing #2 and #1.
