Arch, I have made 3 hole in ones.

My second one was during a practice round before a tournament. Had I aced it during the tourney I would have won $25K but it was only worth $90 skin on the day. That same weekend during the tourney on a different Par-3 my tee shot was literally sitting on the edge of the hole on a hole where a hole in one got a Harley.

My 3rd came on the 2nd round of a 36 hole day. The first time I played this hole I used a 6-iron and came up short of the green. I was about to hit the 6-iron again this time when my buddy started giving me crap about how I needed a 4-iron to get there. I proceeded to skull my 6-iron a foot off the ground halfway there and then watched it roll the rest of the way all the way into the hole. I felt vindicated even if a little embarrassed at such a poor tee shot.

Nothing special or interesting about my first hole in one. I had been playing golf for less than a year at the time and it happened. We were a 4-some and 2 of the other guys also birdies the hole so it was a pretty good team total on the hole.
 
wow 3!!!!!


Wal, how did you react? any dancing on any of them? yelling? swallowing your chew accidently?

i'll never hit a hole in one... I have no accuracy on t-shots on par threes.... the closer it is, the worse I do

if I get NEAR a green I celebrate wildly..

I've only have like 8 pars and 2 birdies in my life.... I golf 9 holes like 2-3 year times a year since I was 18 or so.

when I got my birdies I got somewhat nude I think. and pissed those behind me off alot
 
The most interesting hole in one story went against me.

We are playing the University of Florida course and on hole 8, a short Par 3 downhill over water. My buddy came up short and splashed, so while he went for another ball I hit my shot and stuck it about 3 feet. My buddy goes "I'll press you on this whole" meaning the hole is now worth double. I mean I am 3 feet for birdie and he is re-feeing hitting his third shot, "sure you can press, in fact I'll pay you double if you get inside me". He proceeded to hole it out.

I started playing golf in 1997 on an executive course that we still play so par 3's have more experience than any other. Still I have hit plenty of absolutely perfect tee shots that never came close to holes in one. All 3 of mine were either complete misses or at least slight misses.
 
I used to play A LOT of golf in the early/mid 1990's

Only had one hole-in-one

17th hole @ a Par 3 course. Couldn't have been more than 80 yds

So it was sort of a lame hole-in-one

But I lit up that course that hot summer day.

I was @ least 7 under that day
