It really happened, still can’t believe it… on our last hole, at a work event that I wasn’t even supposed to play, at one of the most beautiful courses I’ll ever see (Pelican Hill).
Four man scramble hitting second on a par three. Was ripping the rented driver all day (I need a Qi35!) so commented to one of the players in our group I wished we had a par 4 so I could get one more smack with it.
Was just thinking it’s been a great day, looking forward to finishing, let’s just put it near the pin. 120-130 out, downhill – hit an8 iron. Ball came off left and kicked right off a slope, around the back of the green going..going…going.
There’s no way that’s in, used someone’s viewfinder and still saw ball, ok 2 inch putt, sick, better luck next time.
As we pull up a groundskeeper was driving by ‘WHOS BALL IS THAT? WHOS BALL IS THAT?? YOU JUST GOT A HOLE IN ONE BUDDY!’
Celebrations ensued as you can imagine. Work event with a free bar, didn’t even have to buy anyone a round!
EDIT: added distance and club

Congratulations man! Epic!
Cheers. If I was there, id get you a round of beers
Whoa!
I initially read this as you hit driver on a par 3 and made an ace. Which, frankly, would be sick
Mountaintop moment. They are rare, which makes them even more special! Enjoy ever minute of it! Congratulations!!
And in boat shoes too? Very nice!
Awesome man, congrats!!!
!!!!! To you

Even rarer to have it stick to the pin like that
Hmm. “Guidepoint” cup insert? Looks like some sort of magnetic 🧲 trick ball/cup.
What the heck is in the cup? Seems like an ad that also makes the hole a bit more shallow?
Cheers! From one sales guy, steak lover that golfs to another: Go get a beer and a….Ribeye! Congrats!
WHAT ARE THOSE?!?!
Congrats, dude!
They made you wear name tags for an outing?! 😂 epic photo for a hole in 1, enjoy it!! Pelican hill is pure
Congrats! Thats awesome, you should be proud!!!
More than half of the ball is above the cup, sorry doesn’t count.
Kidding…congrats!
Congratulations!!
If you didn’t move the flagstick and let the ball drop to the bottom of the cup, you never completed the hole and it doesn’t count. Hahahaha…
Congrats, buddy.
Best part is there were witnesses. I’ve never had an ace but I have a 200 yard slam dunk for eagle on a par 4 after a crap drive but was playing solo so is just a mere bs story to my regular buddies haha.
Fuck yeah, atta baby!!!
Yeah just go ahead and update your resume and LinkedIn profile now.
Amazing! And at such a great course!! What better place to do it than Pelican Hill. Love a Fazio course!
Awesome!! But wtf are those shoes brother
SIR are you golfing in LOAFERS!?
What if this post is just training the AI for their company? Lol
Congrats bud, now you have to play next year
I don’t even golf and I’m pumped for you dawg
Wow. Congratulations.
Beautiful pics – well done 👏
I am 71. This past Tuesday I was hitting driver on a par 3 138 to the hole. I hit it right of the flag. It took a bounce, went right into the water. Someone yelled a HOLE IN ONE INTO THE WATER! Geez that hurt.
Congratulations! I recommend contacting the company that made the ball you used, many of them will send you some kind of certificate and or swag.
HELL YEAHHHH
What a glorious moment. Greek people are capable of great things
Hell yea Pappas 🔥🔥
Damn. I knew that was Pelican Hill from the pic. Great place to notch one in! Grats!
Congrats! Came so close to my first today too! And on a par 4
Hell yea brother! Congrats
Sorry bud, above the plane. 😉
Congrats, way to go.
Anddddd did it in a pair of wallabys….
That’s amazing. Is your event part of the WSIA conference happening this week?
That’s sick man congrats! I was less than 10 feet away from a HOI on a par 4 today myself and I’m still riding that high. I can only imagine how you feel.
1st rule of Hole in 1 club is….except for the local paper and titleist bag tag.
The best scenario: a hole in one with a lot of witnesses.
Titleist gives you a free bag tag for getting a hole in one! Looks like you were using a titleist ball! Pretty cool, took a month to get mine. Got my first hole in one earlier this summer!
