I recently acquired a Reggie Jackson personal used golf ball. I am planning on listing it on ebay but would like to offer it to any members on here first. PM me if interested.

Final round (9 holes): +3

I played nine on Monday on our local public course. Shot a 40, drank a few beers, and had an overall large time. Golf is GREAT.

Final round (9 holes): +3 >>
OMG, i came within less than a tee length of my first Hole in One yesterday (been playing for 25 years). 135 Yard Par 3 8th hole - 9 iron. Bounced 4 inches from the hole and stopped 2 centimeters from it - and they had just watered the green! Worst birdie I've ever made. Shot +2 on the 9. Sneaked out after work. To the OP, I think you and I competed on a bunch of golf memorabilia over the past 4 years. I bet you have a great collection by now.

6 hours for only 9 holes, wow, my blood pressure would have been sky high by then. Before my golfing buddy passed away in 06, we used to play 36-54 holes every Sunday, we had a lot of fun, but never got to where we could shoot consistently under 85, we'd take an occasional dip into the high 70's, but the fun part was that it seemed like most of the times we played, it would be very evenly matched the whole day.
Besides our lack of talent, we probably didn't score much better because we were going way to fast I need to start playing again, since he died, I've probably only played 5 times or so and it's usually just because someone at the office needs a partner for a tourney.

I would love a par 3 under 160. I placed membership at the local course rather than the course 15 miles up the road. My logic was that the time spent on the road could be time playing golf. It's great for when I have an extra hour here and there. Considering that I work with young people I'll probably be there a lot once school gets out tomorrow. Either way, two of the par 3 holes are 160+ and 170+. In addition, we have a par 3 that's listed at 190 but plays over 200. It's down in a valley, protected by trees, and has a green with a tough slope. Usually an automatic 4 and not my favorite hole.

Hey, that just makes it an even cooler story when you drain one from 200 with a 4 Iron...that's be much more impressive than my near Ace with a 9.

I need to take a picture of the hole and post it. When you play the "back 9" from the blue tees it's a par 4 despite the fact that the box is typically 10-15 yards back. The kid I played with today nearly aced the 9th hole which played roughly 170. The ball went in the air maybe 80 yards, ran the rest of the way, and stopped just a hair beyond gimme range.

My Texas House resolution for my once in a lifetime shot
I lost my amateur status that day when I accepted the car so it's the closest I've ever come to pro athletics!!

<< <i>My only hole in one ever I was playing a round with coworkers in a local tourney and used a DRIVER from about 175 as I always seemed to have a knack of being able to place it very well with that stick swinging it very easy on par 3's. It just so happend to be on a "Win-a-car" hole so I won my wife a brand new Buick Rendezvous. That was a crazy day!! Even got a House Resolution from the State of Texas

That is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Great story!
Might as well show the golf cart I rebuilt with a lot of help last fall. A local course was forced to close and I was able to get a great price on a used cart. It looks good when my game does not:

It came from a private collection which i purchased. It contained many other famous people's personal used golf balls.
