I'm guessing most golfers don't even get to experience that. I have to post this one though, (courtesy of Hot_Bid's twitter): | ||

I landed the ball a bit behind the hole and it came back down the slope of the green and rolled into the cup (I didn't believe it until I saw the ball in the hole). | ||

It can be boring to watch but it can be very satisfying to play. Getting a hole in one is like the ultimate satsifaction you can get even if micronesia has a horendous round the hole in one makes up for it cause he can now say for the rest of his life he hit a hole in one some pros have even never got a hole in one. | ||

par 3 125m (something like 140yards) 9 iron (callaway X-22) It pitched like 1m behind the hole, and slowly came back to it =) I remember holding my breath the whole time, but man, this was the most excited I've ever been in my life ^^ I called everybody I know that day, just to brag ^^ That was the 17th hole btw, and i ended up doing a triple bogey on the last one  | ||

Yeah, same with me... it landed a couple of yards past the whole and slowly came back. It was a little hard to see due to the hill though and I didn't think it had actually gone in until I went up and looked. On April 06 2012 22:30 how wrote: Congrats man! That is fucking awesome, how long have you been golfing for? I first started screwing around when I was about 12, so on and off for 14 years. Only about 2 years ago did I start taking it seriously enough to take some lessons and get some decent equipment though. | ||

I've been playing for 14 years and have not gotten one (I did make a par by holing my second shot after my first went in the lake haha). Hope you get warmer weather! | ||

I remember I almost shit a brick when I made my first birdie via a chip in, but I can't see myself making a hole and one and not like... screaming and running around the course waving my polo shirt around. What was your reaction? Or since it was on a hill could you see that it went in from the teebox? It appeared like it had gone in but my vision was very poor due to the hill. The guy next to me was pretty sure it had gone in, so the whole time I was waiting to approach the green I was mentally preparing myself. When it was in there I was excited, but didn't completely lose my composure. If it had hit me all at once I probably woulda freaked out. Something interesting about the experience of getting a hole in one: when you walk across the green and approach the cup to get the ball, you get this feeling like the tee isn't actually as far away from the green as you used to think. | ||

I've been playing for about 10 years and have had probably a dozen lip-outs or shots within half a foot, so it's still eluding me (although I've holed out from the fairway on a par4 for eagle 3 different times.. kind of a hole in one =p) Totally jealous! | ||

Great job on the hole in one, I've hit the flagstick multiple times in competition but never hole in one : / Holed out some pitches though. The hole was rated 133. It was up a big hill, which makes it more like 140? It was cold, which makes it more like 145? And I hit it up rather high, which sucked away a few yards. It also landed behind the hole and then came back. It really wasn't a short shot for an 8 iron. | ||

Great job on the hole in one, I've hit the flagstick multiple times in competition but never hole in one : / Holed out some pitches though. There are some good players out there (non-competitive players) who hits 140~150 yards with 7 iron, and still score amazingly well. Though that is not always the case | ||
