Hole in one

I have just achieved my first hole in one this afternoon!! woo-hoo...on a par 3

Thanks guys! I owe the people i was playing with a few beers! we didnt have time to stop off at the clubhouse!....

I have been fortunate to have had three holes in one, the first at Colchester in 1955 when I sliced a three wood that hit a tree and bounced onto the green and into the hole. The second was at Whitewebbs Park Golf Club in Enfield where I did a Kevin Hewitt and thinned a nine iron that was going like and express train but hit the lip of the bunker in front of the green, popped up and rolled into the hole. The third was in actual fact a rather nice shot at the second hole at the Priors Course, Stapleford Abbotts in Essex, a nicely drawn six iron into a left to right breeze which pitched short of the hole and went in. Forty years between the lucky ones and the good one.

congratulations tim hope it wont be the last.

i was close this may gone on a par three at widney manor solihull, pitched five feet in front and ran 4 foot passed and like david missed the putt for birdie, gutted.

Congratulations Tim.  I think as a casual golfer you've achieved the one thing we'd all love to. 

Like a lot of people, I have come close too, twice in fact.  Few weeks ago I pitched on the green, clipped the pin and rolled past by around 4 feet.  And to keep in sync I also missed the birdie putt!  Last year I hit the pin, dropped and rolled two feet away.  Maybe one day.

Congratulations Tim! I have also had a hole in one when I was 15 or 16, it was in a comp at my home course. As with Kevin, didnt hit it that great, but it did find the green, and more importantly, the hole! Whats more, as I was underage, I couldnt buy a round!!

I must admit, that upon hitting the ball, I topped it, thinking to myself, what, how and balls I messed that up. But then I was watching it just go straight towards the pin, thinking to myself.....mmmm...its on target, lets watch it more, then it rolled up the fringe of the green, then onto the green slowing down, but straight at the pin (thinking to myself thats really on target) but I thought it was too fast...............then .... in it went!! I must admit I was totally gob-smacked!! took about 1 min before it sank in. The funny thing about this was my clubs!? I payed £420 for Callaways, however, I brought loftwedge for £20 and this was the club I achieved it with lol......pure skill I tell ya!..

it was 95 yards! the thing is that I'm a big hitter and that club suits me for short holes!
