It was a miserable, blustry day and 15 of 18 greens were flooded or soaked. I was the only idiot on the entire course this afternoon so it was unwitnessed by anyone else.

I was playing with my dad, and he was kicking my butt until that hole
Nice one,
bob
does holed and plugged count?
its a shame too because this reeded edge has otherwise AU details and would have made a nice type coin

I used to go out alot alone and play for practice when I was younger ... and after two very near misses, I started to fear I'd hit one with no one around to see.
20 years later, and still not one to my name. I'd take one anyway I could get it ... well, legitimately anyway.

Maybe this will be the year I get my first.
I've also spent many a day as the only idiot that was fool enough to challenge the weather. Glad to hear there are more of us. --Jerry

Honestly, it would be more gratifying to make ONE hole in one than 2 PR70's
Great shot on a glorious day, Tim.
Practice makes perfect & nobody is perfect. So, practice being nobody.
Congrats.
Quite the feeling.
40+ years of chasing the little ball and still no cigar
<< <i>Congrats. I"m with stone, a couple of 7 iron eagles on par 4s but no hole in 1s. I hit a 7 iron to about 6" on a 170 yr par 3 Saturday morning and commented that I've never had a hole in one but I hope my son is there when I do.

C'mon Jerry, which weekend is the weather a challenge in Carlsbad??
Have you played the new "Crossings" course yet ? ...got some nice hole in 1 opportunities there
I learned to golf in Illinois but the first time I played Torrey Pines was in 1982 and I was out here for a job interview. It started pouring and I was the only one who kept on playing...about a month ago my son and I Teed off in the rain..it was raining all the way to the course but we went anyway and got the round in.
I played the crossings once. It bothers me that is is my own city's muni course and costs more than many of the quality upscale public courses around. My current favorite is Arrowwood and that's the course I played Saturday. Carlsbad built the most expensive public course ever created and didn't get their money's worth in my opinion. Several of the holes are very nice but several are trying too hard to be interesting and it just doesn't come off.

Congrats...after all these years of playing, 4" away from the cup is as close as I ever got.

How about the bridges that apparently cost $3 million dollars to build (gnatcatcher or something) that make your golf cart sound like a freight train going thru???
No self respecting endangered species is going to stick around under those bridges. Thats why its the most expensive and disjointed course ever built. I thought is was fun to play though....also love Arrowwood

sorry no coin.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
That's the only holey coin I've ever wanted. Still kicking myself for not bidding. I was probably at the far end of my LOC limit at the time.

Never played golf.... Was asked to several times by friends who played, but I always asked if I could bring my shotgun...
Could pop those little white balls before they reached the green...

I used to play a lot of golf, but I've only SEEN one hole-in-one in my life. It was truly amazing. I've come within a few inches several times. Well done, even though it was 15 years ago!

Congratulations! My father in law did that on his honeymoon. He's 97 now and he doesn't remember anything about anything, but he remembers that.
Did RickO have something to do with this 'hole?'
Got my hole in one back on June 5, 1993. 152 yards, par 3, uphill and slightly downwind. Hit a 7 iron, bounced twice and dropped in the hole. I can still see that shot in my mind in slow motion. It felt pure.
More interesting is that another golfer in our outing of about 60 players also got an ace on the same hole later in the event. Could possibly be the only time that a hole in one did not win a skin....... we still joke about that to this day. The only advantage is that we split the bar bill.

Wow - now that's an old thread!
Have had 3 since then, all witnessed!
A few years ago everyone in my foursome had a hole in one in the same year! Of course, everyone at the hole-in-one party at the end of the year thought we were lying.
Doesn't matter. You know you did it and that's what counts. I was lucky with mine, it was in a tournament playing with my brother-in-law and my two best friends. Still got the plaque somewhere. Congratulations.
