Hole in One
 

After twenty or so years of playing golf I finally got a hole in one yesterday. It was on the 143 yard hole number three at St Johnsbury Country Club. I tried to buy drinks for my playing partners afterward but the waitress comped them to us. Sweet all around.

Great job Gary. I have not even come close yet.

Congrats!! I hope it doesn't take me 20 years of golfing to finally get one..

Congrats. :tu

Come close a 1/2 dozen times, but no lightning yet.

Very nice. Make sure you register your feat at http://www.usgolfregister.org/press.asp. Also, if you contact the company of the brand of golf ball you used, they may give you something. Calloway give me an award plaque with the details of the hole in one. CONGRATS, tell us the details... what club did you use and how long was the shot?

Friday of last week I was 18" away from my first.
Closest yet.
It was sweet.

Congrats!

Quite a few years ago, my stepfather and I each had one (the one and only for each of us), on the same hole, about two weeks apart. Very cool feeling.

I can't even get a hole in one on putt-putt...Congrats!

Re: Hole in One
 

Congrats! It's a great feeling isn't it? I also had one that was 143 a few years ago.

Re: Hole in One
 

Very nice. Never had a hole in one, but did hit a second shot in the hole from about 180 yards on the first hole once. Par four hole.

Do it again, will ya - I wasn't looking. :D

Way to go.

Re: Hole in One
 

Very cool!

I've had a few close calls but none that actually dropped in...maybe someday!

Re: Hole in One
 

Awesome....I do not see myself ever hitting a hole in one, but the hope of it keeps me playing :tu Nice job!

Re: Hole in One
 

Congrats! I've been close a couple of times, but still waiting.

Re: Hole in One
 

Congratulations sir :tu

I am still working on getting the ball in the hole in less than 8 strokes. How the hell do you guys do it in one? :hm

Re: Hole in One
 

Congrats on the hole in one. Had my first and only back in 1983 on the 10th at the Parris Island golf course. Haven't been within a foot since.:tu

Re: Hole in One
 

Congrats. I've come really close a handful of times, but that damn hole in one still eludes me.

Re: Hole in One
 

It was 143 yards and I used a Callaway Big Bertha 5 iron, (obviously I'm not a big hitter). Pin was about 1/3 of the way onto a slightly right sloping green. The ball landed eight or ten yards onto the green and rolled about twelve feet into the cup, it looked like it had radar.
I carry a 22 handicap and regularly play with a guy who carries a 7, (he was with me). He has had two Aces and given the disparity in our games, I truthfully NEVER thought I would get one.

Thanks to all for the good wishes.
