What I've learned from this thread is most ranters always come up short :rimshot:

I've hit pin twice, but haven't done that since I was about 13 years old. I have lipped out once and that was about three months ago. I feel like I'm due at some point. At least, I hope so.

Hit the flag and bounced off it once. If the flag wasn't there, it probably would have gone another 4 feet. About 160 yards out.

This was on a Par 3 just a few weeks ago. About 155 yards out. Still trying to figure out how it didn't go in.

I hit the flag once and have rolled a couple within 5 feet.

My closest ever was about 18". Did that once. Have several in my playing days within 4 foot.

I thought I had one about 8 years ago. I hit one that looked like it was going right to the pin. It was on a Par 3 over water on about 140foot hole. When I finally arrived it had rolled about 10feet past the cup. I've hit a bunch of greens but never holed one from a long way out.

Never really been that close. Landed an 8-iron from 160 yards about 8" behind the hole once and it ended up about a 3 foot putt. I guess that was pretty close.

I've holed out from the fairway 4 times, but never a hole in one.

I hit my hole in one in on the fly. No bounce, pinched between the pin and hole edge perfectly.


Edit: Northwood Country Club #17 in Meridian MS.

I played competitively all through high school. I was 15 or 16 at the time.

I won a gold-finish putter in a scramble once.

Does anybody want a never-used, still in the box, gold-finish putter?

I have 2 hole in ones. The first was on my home course growing up when I was 12. The second was duringa practice round at Saugahatchee CC in Auburn when I was 16. I've also holed out for eagle from roughly 150 yards on a par 4 and a par 5. Haven't had any aces since though but someone landed short of the hole on a par 3 and the ball ended up 4 inches directly on the opposite side of the hole. It must have barely lipped out.

Par 3 literaly on the rim. We waited 10 mins to see if it would move. This was a few years back in north carolina. Par 4, went right to the hole and stopped 3-4 inches infront - was short for a par 4.

Probably like 6 feet on a par 3. I don't play much golf.

Came to a par 3, 155 yards, and had to wait while the greenskeeper moved the pin.

When he finished I was up and my ball came to rest where the hole had been.
