Congratulations sir

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?

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.

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

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.
