Know Doubt 0 Posted March 3, 2011 I've seen one, cool as hell. #6 at Foxboro CC. Downhill, like 190 yards. It was the 'course pros' from our place and a couple of others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 1,036 Posted March 3, 2011 I came inches away. I mean ###### inches.Hit a wood on a short tee. Everyone was all....its going to go wayyyyyy over. It was a low line drive with a hook. Bounced right on the lip of the green and rolled UPHILL to settle about an inch away from the cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

supermike80 1,350 Posted March 3, 2011 Close...With a guy on a 140 yard par three. He hit a great shot and from the tee, we were SURE it went in. We all cheered, high fived..I was thinking of my drink order. We got there, and it was a few inches out. Still a great moment---but a bummer it didnt go in.

JackARoot 2 Posted March 3, 2011 I've seen two: 1) One of my Dad's friends hit one on 17 in Martinsville, IN. Pretty cool, we all saw it drop into the hole. 2) A friend of mine hit one, it was funny because it was uphill and you couldn't see the green from there. He was looking all over because he thought it went over the green ... then he checked the hole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,941 Posted March 3, 2011 I had an ace about 10 years ago in Destin Florida. 128 yds. It didn't feel like a good shot when I hit it, but it went straight at the pin. The ball bounced on the green twice, hit the stick and dropped in. 2 holes later I chipped one in from the fairway from 80 yds. out. Almost the same shot. It bounced twice, hit the stick and dropped in. I haven't been closer than 3 ft. from a pin on a par 3 since that day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dain11279 934 Posted March 3, 2011 Never made or seen one. Prolly been within about 18 inches is my closest. Did hole out from the fairway for eagle from 185 yards out a couple years ago on the hardest hole on the course I'm a member at. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tikigods 76 Posted March 3, 2011 I've had two aces. Both of them were on the same hole at the Mt. Washington (14th hole 150 par 3). The first one was in 1997 and the second one was in 2008. Both times used an 8 iron from the tee box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cbfalcon 824 Posted March 3, 2011 I've been within half a rotation. 156 yards, 7 iron. I actually thought I caught it just a touch thin. About a quarter of the ball was hanging over the cup. The only one I've witnessed was while getting ready to putt, the group on the next teebox a few feet away hit. I heard someone yell something along the lines of "That's going to go in!" and I looked at the green just in time to see the ball disappear. Pretty cool.

Big Blue 06 195 Posted March 3, 2011 The closest I've ever come was a 165 yard par 3, hit a 7 iron that was right at the pin, but a little strong. Hit near the top of the pin in the air and bounced to about 4 feet away. I was I then went on the botch the birdie putt and make par. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IMMensaMind 460 Posted March 4, 2011 an 8 iron going 150? I think I was doing that when I was 12. Most golfers I know hit their 8s 180-200. The ladies go about 150. Very few people hit their 8 iron 180-200. You either play with exceptionally long hitters (like top 2% exceptionally long), or they are leaning forward/closing the clubface. I hit an 8 about 160 if I'm using good tempo; 175 if I step on it - and there aren't a ton of people who hit it farther than I do off the tee. I'm still looking for my first hole-in-one. I've gotten close several times, and I've holed out from the fairway on a couple of occasions (nearly had a double eagle, though). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltaire 4,624 Posted March 4, 2011 Yes, My best one went under the windmill and bounced off two walls. The one on 18 doesn't count since even people with Tourette's could get a hole-in-one there. Honestly, this is what seperates you guys from me, there has never been a point in my life when I could afford a round of golf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
