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

    Cheers. If I was there, id get you a round of beers

  2. Sonking_to_Remember

    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!!

  4. Even rarer to have it stick to the pin like that

    Hmm. “Guidepoint” cup insert? Looks like some sort of magnetic 🧲 trick ball/cup.

  6. TwoBreakfastBalls

    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!

    More than half of the ball is above the cup, sorry doesn’t count.

    Kidding…congrats!

  11. ImpossibleKidd

    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.

    Yeah just go ahead and update your resume and LinkedIn profile now.

    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.

    What a glorious moment. Greek people are capable of great things

  21. thegreatindoor

  24. That’s amazing. Is your event part of the WSIA conference happening this week?

  25. Alarmed-Eggplant-604

    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.

  26. 1st rule of Hole in 1 club is….except for the local paper and titleist bag tag.

  27. CharlieFoxtrot432

    The best scenario: a hole in one with a lot of witnesses.

  28. cantsee_thelines
