Normal dude hits it big.  Pretty cool.

For the next AW.com golf tourney, they should see if someone will sponsor a hole in one.  From what I hear, the insurance on it, $25,000 is a few hundred.

Funny thing is, at my tourney, we stopped doing it because nobody ever gets close and we could spend the money on better prizes for other stuff.

At the end they said K.J. Choi just got his second this week.  Shows how hard it is.

Awesome.  Thanks for sharing.

That's amazing!  I can't even get one playing extra balls by my lonesome...

Does anyone in the board have one?

I have holed out on a par 4. I have three close calls on par 3's. I lipped out last week. Came within a ball rotation another time, and one other time I was playing a crappy course with my boys and the pin was leaning right. I hit a wedge and swished it in the cup on the left side of the cup and it flew out about 30 yards and never even hit the flagstick. I walked up to the cup and a ball couldn't even fit on the right side of the flagstick and a ball and a half fit on the left side where mine went in. In a well maintained course, I most likely would have swished it.

A par three in Hawaii I hit the pin on two bounces, it rolled about 4 feet away and I missed the birdie putt.

On a really short 125ish yard par 3 I hit a 9 iron within an inch.  Landed to the left of the flag stick and stuck.  Half inch to the right and it probably would have been in.

 

Never really came close other than that time.  Couple within a foot but never close to making it into the cup.  On a par 4 once I hit an 8 iron within maybe 2 inches once that I thought had a chance for a 2.

The second hole I ever played I hit it within six inches, that's still the closest I've been.

I aced the old par 3 13th hole at Skylinks December 30, 2011. 6 iron at 170 yards. Hit it pure, thought I'd sailed the green because no marks or balls on the green (it was foggy). Before I dropped, another guy came up to the flag and pointed down. So I didn't get the full experience of watching it roll in, but the results were still the same!

The reason Tiger Woods wears two pair of socks is in case he gets a hole in one.

 

(Please blame Adam - he gave me that joke.)

Self-ban.  For both.... 8)

I ricocheted one left off a house once and it ended up couple inches away.  That's all I got. 

 

[Tank]

landed about 18 inches away on a par 5, blind uphill dogleg left tee shot, but nothing ever closer than that.

 

 

 

 

 

oh wait, it was a par 3.

I hit a lake at least 100 yards away. Several times, bitches!

A buddy of mine, playing one of the resort courses in Palm Desert, hit a Canadian goose about 20 yards off the box with his tee shot.  Hilarity did not ensue

My wife did that her very first time on a course.  I have a hard time convincing her to play golf with me anymore.

[mtangelsfan]

I hit the power wire with two shots in a row at Anaheim Hills.  I think it's that long downhill par 4 right after the really uphill par 5.

 

Maybe 14?

No way! Only a professional can hit a lake from a hundred yards out!

I've only made one on the 3rd hole at Lost Canyons-Shadow Course in Simi Valley. Striped a 5-iron from 215. I don't have the best vision so I couldn't really see it drop, unfortunately.

[Thomas]

Yep, today's headline in the local newspaper. God bless small towns.

[stevestevens]

I hit the flagstick yeserday.  If I would have hit it dead in the middle it would have dropped.  It hit and bounced off the side.  Oh well.....still waiting
