Welp, I guess I should should just give up and sell my clubs now......

Friday I had a PB nine hole score of 1 over and today I got my first ever hole in one!

Ugliest hole in one I could ever imagine.... Par 3, 140 yards. I pulled an 8i to try and smooth one up to the green, and skulled the crap outta it. Ball never gets more than 2ft off the ground and runs towards the center of the green. It goes over a small mound, hangs a little right, rolls onto the green, bangs into the flagstick and drops. Couldnt believe it.

I dropped my club and just started laughing. The 2 guys I was paired up with had no idea what to say.

So this was kinda like my personal best, awesome and annoying all balled up into one emotion. Although the hole in one has way more awesome in it.

But to my headline, guess i have accomplished everything, time to quit........... Until tomorrow of course!

Congratulations?

Is this a weird game or what? :-)

A weird game or as I said on the tee after the hole in, this is a stupid game! Lol and I love it!

Way to go on the personal best and ace!

Congratulations.

Next time you'll hit a perfect shot..........only to watch it hit the stick and careen into the bunker. Like you said " stupid game!"

What kind of clubs? BST?

J/K

Congrats! There will be a long line up of guys willing to trade you for your "ugly" ace.... even longer than the line for your sticks on BST.

Ace is an ace. To be a true member of WRX, you need to change the story though......

"Par 3, 140 yards. I pulled out my 60 and figured a 3/4 swing should do, but then was like heck no, it's too easy, I need a challenge. So I bet the guys I was playing with $100 each that I could take my 8 iron, hit the ball never more than 2 feet off the ground, and dunk it in the cup. Just about then a ranger pulled up to tell us to speed up even though the guys ahead of us were totally killing the pace. I just stared the ranger down as I took my swing and walked off the tee waiting for the clink off the stick. There was no reason to say anything. I'm totally never playing that course again, in fact I might just sell my clubs because the game is just too easy and I'm done dealing with all the BS."

LMAO!

Although after everyone putted out the ranger did come up to say he was locking the gates to the cart paths (course is in a community) because darkness was quickly falling. I of course walk, but the other guys had a cart. Figured I better hitch a ride in with the ranger so I could buy the customary round for the ace. I wouldnt want to anger the golf gods after the last week they have given me. So, my "low piercing butter cut" 8i ace was also the last hole of the day....

Well at least you bought drinks..... There was a thread around here recently where a bunch of guys where whining about the tradition.

Congrats on the ace. I'd be happy to get one no matter how it happens.

Congrats,you made an ace with my go to shot lol

Based on your story, he's ready to step up to the blades....

OP, nice shot.

The closest I've ever come to a hole in one was just like that... 145 yard par 3, my ball never got 3 [s]feet[/s] yards off the ground... Hit the slope behind the pin 10 feet back, and it rolled to a foot of the hole (but not in).

Disclaimer--I hit short of the green, and it rolled up. And back down the slope. I didn't spin it or nuthin....

[i]***hangs head in shame***[/i]

Congrats on the low round and the ace. Like a lot of things in life an ugly one is better than none.

Just tell 'em you hit a perfect little stinger.

Well done one the ACE.
The shot is no worse than pushing a birdie putt only to see it break
more than you thought and drop in the hole.
Only being 1 over the other day sounds like there are more aces to come.

You've got a great thing going. A wife that's interested in the game, a cute little boy (who also wishes to play), low rounds, an ace. I want a bit of what you're sippin'.

Keep quiet or you just might jinx yourself.

Congrats.

Oh, no! You didn't complete the round? That means the ace is not official.

Well, technically. But, who cares? Congrats!

Congratulations on the personal best and ace.

You also made the correct decision to not quit golf. In 2000, I birdied the first hole of the first round. I thought about retiring for the year at "under par" but ultimately continued the round. Within a hole or two I was over par for the year and never looked back.

Congrats on the hole in one. As one of my playing buddies keeps telling me: they don't write down on the card HOW you did it, just that you did it

^^^^ This is AWESOME and spot on!!

crazy... congrats though. you sure that wasn't your putter? all kidding aside jamie sadlowski can hit his putter around 300 yards. wonder what kind of flex he uses in his irons.

Congrats on the hole-in-one. It might help you to know that if truth be known, a large percentage of holes-in-ones are more due to luck than skill.

Technically i played 14 holes so it can still be used for handicapping purposes and therefore i counter that its still official :-)

Congrats ... I don't think there's room on the scorecard to write down how ugly it was, just enough room to write down a 1.

It has been awesome. Ive been thinking that the golf gods must me getting ready to smite me and want to make my last few rounds enjoyable. HA! Either that or they have accepted my sacrifice of bringing two people (my son and wife) into the game and are rewarding me :-)

I wouldn't have thought to play it that way but I cannot argue with the results.

Nice "1", CJ.

Pretty much exact same hole in 1 as me ugliest shot but best results, I've hit so many better shots but makes it a better story one day I'll hopefully hit a nice hole in one

Congratulations!

FWIW, a guy at my club ricocheted a ball off of a tree and holed it out for an ace, so yours is not the ugliest.

The scorecard reads "1" - congratulations, although I bet the PB was more satisfying!
