    Had a similar one where I pulled it into some trees pin high. The ball went in, disappeared for about 3 seconds then from the ground level pops up and out about 10 feet in the air in a perfect little arc onto the green about 8 feet from the hole. Turns out there was a slanted rock on the ground and the ball plinko’d through the trees and dropped straight down onto the rock.

    Had one where I bladed my 7 iron. The ball never got more than twenty feet off the ground. It bounced 20 yards short of the green and rolled up and in. My friend I was with said “you’ve got to be fucking kidding me!”. I’ll take the ace however it comes though!

    No pictures on the scorecard. 

    Congrats!

    And that’s why I’m not impressed by HIO’s. I have two and both were mediocre shots on days when I was playing mediocre golf and got lucky. I’ve hit 100’s if not 1000’s of better shots than my HIO’s.

    but are there alignment concerns?

    (yes, severe)

    ha, i hit a building, dental office and it shot back onto the course and into the hole at NTC Sail-Ho in 1977…haven’t had another since!

    I’d have to get a picture with the tree

    Playing a men’s club match play 170’ par3.
    Snap hook into left cyclone fence. Reaching down to retee shot 3 & my ball has hit a cross beam, bounces out in front of the green! Made bogey & lost to a par. Would have legit felt bad to win that hole lol.

    The real pro move is to see that you missed and then say “aiming right at that tree for a bounce into the hole”. Nobody remembers all the times you were wrong but everybody will remember the time you called it

    I always wonder if I did this would I be happy or just bummed that that’s how I got a hole in one. I’m honestly not sure

    Falling upwards. Scorecard doesn’t keep keep picture and this is quite the story.

    Yesterday I was on a par 3 and hit it left into a tree that hangs over. It shot down, took the hill and started rolling right at the pin. I was like, is this going to be how it happens. Stopped about 8 feet short.

    Now that’s a members bounce!

    A hole in one is a hole in one! Congrats!!

  16. I also saw a hole in one after it bounced off a tree, on the pre-updated Golden Gate Park golf course #7 (current #3). It’s pretty much the silliest thing I’ve ever seen in golf, but it makes sense, if it’s bouncing off a tree, it’s going to have a lot of roll, which means it’ll cover more surface area on the green if it ends up there, which means it has a higher probability of going in than a normal shot.

    That’s 2 drinks for everyone and he f’n knows it.

    I see one shot and the ball in the hole. Do yall draw maps on how it got there or just write down a score?

  19. GangnamApeist

    The dude perfectly executed his 20yard pull that he’s had all his life 

  20. I almost had a similar hole-in-one story, mine stopped about 2 inches from the hole.

    Elevated green with a rock wall in front of it. Green was probably 20 feet above the level of the tee box.

    I hit my shot too short. It actually kind of bounced in the crevice of a couple of the rocks about half way up the wall and miraculously bounced upon the green within 2 inches.

    I won closest to the pin that day of our friend golf outing (3 foursomes). The win did not come without some protest though…..😉

    Wow… that is the closest to home i’ve seen on reddit in almost 10 years! I grew up 30 min from there and didn’t even know that course existed. I played the course in town though…

    Never had an ace, but I remember the pin seriously getting in the way once . Short par 4 , huge drive, just a flip wedge, middle pin, no sand in front . We all know low shots can still have spin, but this was skulled 100%……Hits the flag dead on and comes to rest 4 inches from the cup. I was 19-20, guy I was playing with worked with my Dad, and a real prick. He was on the green first, just chuckled and flipped my ball to me. I always liked to finish up my birdies, even if they were true gimmes
