Well....
This thread is for ALL of our near aces this season. With as much golf as we play... we're bound to have several additions to this thread.
I've never had a hole in one, although I've witnessed 5 or 6 (all but one at PGA and Senior Tour tournaments). If you have made a hole in one... stop reading, you are not allowed in this thread!! LOL. Let those less fortunate that you have a little space on ST, please. (If you've made more than one, please jump in the nearest lake)
I came REALLY close two days ago.... and this thread is about sharing those near aces.
Playing a nice little course near home just north of the Indianapolis suburbs with my son, a few other realatives, and their kids who were in town for the Indy 500. 8 of us.
Little Par 3, about 140, pin in the front. No wind, as trees surround the hole.
Instead of jumping on a nine, I hit a nice solid :smilie_wi 8 iron. It's right at the pin the whole way, and hits C L O S E. One, hop, it spins back, and disappears behind the flagstick for a moment.... and then it emerges. We thought it was trickling in for a moment or two as the green slopes back to front, helping my shot towards the cup. From the tee it was hard to see exactly where I ended up, but I was two feet behind the cup, with a ball mark about five inches to the left of the hole.
Damn near slam dunked it!!
Please post the stories (may we all have more than one!) of your 2008 near aces.
Cheers,
Bryan
