Very nice.... That looks like a slam dunk...
. What was yardage?
What club?

Slam dunk, it was.

Three quarter 9 iron into a one club wind. The hole plays 125 from those tees.

Where the pin was you have to almost play more club because you'll suck the ball back into the swell at the front of the green and you'll have a helluva putt coming back up the hill. Being down there brings 4 into play. It's a tough little hole, and I've bogeyed it more than I have birdied it. I actually saw the pro take a 7 on that hole with my own eyes.

That was back in 2008. It was my third Ace.

Here's the same hole two years ago when we had record rain in the spring...they've completely rebuilt the hole now and it's absolutely fine now.

Mine was uphill and I thought I had missed long because I saw the ball bounce. I was pleasantly surprised when I got to the green.

I've had 7 ACES in golf the last 30+ years, and 2 were over 200 yards both with a 4W, one was 235 and the other 215.

Last few years I've a lot of ACES, it's what I call my #1 girlfriend at the moment now, you know, she's my ACE.

Par 3 130. Clanked it off of the flagstick and that's where it landed. I was mad and happy at the same time. Lol
It's a good thing the ball didn't go in that hole with the pink flagstick. Had it gone in, you'd have to turn in your "man card"!!!!:D

Oh... Great shot! And, welcome to ShotTalk!!!!

I had an ace the first time I went golfing on a real field on a 176y hole surrounded by a lake .I decided then I was meant to play this game hehehe. After that, it just has never happened again. I have lost at least 20 balls on that same stupid hole since then and the closest to an Ace gas been like five ft
