The No Ace Club - How close did you get this year?

Anyone else in my boat that all your close calls seem to happen on the long Par 3’s and not the short wedge in variety? I have lipped out twice this year from 4-iron distance (210 yards).

Same.

I am a member at a shorter course...all par 3s are <120 yards so I have sand and gap wedges and I usually hit them pretty high. Unless I dunk one, I will never get one there. I am also a member at another course where they are all >170 yards and I am willing to bet I will get one there before anywhere.

Also, I have been playing 20+ years and I have always been pretty good...or at least I think so. I am currently a 3.2 GHIN and play with a lot of golfers ranging from scratch to 20 handicaps and most have at least 1 hole in one. I am by far the lowest handicap without a hole in one.

And here is the other one. This one landed & hopped into the flag, dropping it straight down. No idea how it didn't go in.

It will come.

Yeah, it isn’t a mindset or confidence thing. Today I stepped onto a Par 3 brimming with confidence, borderline swagger, that today was the day. Even my warm up swings felt magical. I then promptly shanked it into the water sideways on a hole where water isn’t actually in play unless you shank it. Good times...

Played in a charity scramble yesterday at my home course in 8somes and the topic of HIOs came up while we were waiting to tee off on #4. Out of the 8 guys, only me and one other guy have been shut out so far in our quests for HIOs. 6th hole was playing 117 with the flag all the way in the back of the green, just left of a slope and just short of another that runs off the back of the green. I hit my 54* on exactly the line I was looking at, 10 feet right of the flag. It took one hop forward and spun back, caught the slope and trickled down to the cup. Everyone started yelling "GET IN" etc., and I really thought it would. Ended up stopping about 3" short for a kick-in 2. The other guy who never had a HIO played after me and hit a PW that never left the flag stick the entire way, bounced about 8" left of the flag pin high and took off over the green and down into the weeds. Some days I wonder if I'll ever get one...

Lucky enough to get an invite to play Wygakil cc and on the 7th hole par3 I hit a poor shot right of the green and hit a provisional because I thought my first was going to be lost anyhow the hole was playing 165yds and I holed out with my provisional , ball landed a yard short of the flag

and hit the flag and did a dance and spun in the hole , I ended up finding my tee ball and managed to make a bogey , kinda sucks as I've never had a hole in one , I've come real close so the quest continues .

Don't remember if I already posted on this thread but I can use the picture above. Gap wedge from 109 yds into the sun. As soon as I hit the ball I thought it had a chance to go in. It just felt perfect. I could't see the ball at all due to the sun in my eyes. So, I had that excitement and anticipation of not knowing if it went in the hole until I got to the green. Almost!

Lipped out another one. Granted it was a night golf tournament on a par 3 course but it was still demoralizing. 2nd time hitting the lip this year, had 3 lip outs last year. It is never going to happen.

Hit the flagstick today on a Par 3 from 168. The ball was ejected dead right into the pond as a reward.

 

Life is awesome.
