Congratulations happy birthday. I’ve had 3 Just lucky. Used to play a course with short par 4s. 2 of mine were with a driver on par 4. Lol.

Awesome stuff.

 

Be sure to reach out to the company that makes your irons and the ball you used. A lot of times they'll send you some kind of swag. Callaway and Srixon sent me some stuff when I had mine.

Happy Birthday. I'm impressed and a little bit bitter jealous. You say almost 40 years but that doesn't quite cover it. What would be your estimate on the number of rounds it took?

Interesting question that I haven't pondered. Thanks to my wonderful hard working wife, I retired at 46 in 2005 and my rounds played significantly increased. I also became a much better player after retirement. Sometime in 2007 I had my lowest handicap ever at 9. Much higher now because just don't enjoy practice any longer.

Congrats! Normally on your birthday...people buy you drinks...but if you make a hole-in-one...you'd have to buy them drinks. Are you net-net neutral on the libations then??

I bought the Gatorade at the turn. Does that count?

I'm not just jealous that you got a hole in one, i'm jealous that you're playing golf outside and it's -2 here today!

Enjoy and Happy Birthday!

Congrats! Got my first hole in one last year after 28years of trying. Still gets my heart rate up thinking about it. Now you have the fun of figuring out how to commemorate it!!!!

Congrats. My first came after 35 years. Had second within six months of it.
