Played Grand Bear in Biloxi today. Absolutely perfect day. Got off to a good start bogey, par , birdie, par. Then we caught up to the 8some (yes8!). Obviously things got slow.
Until hole 7, 150 par 3, HOLE IN ONE !
Never saw it go in. Hit a decent shot, saw it on the green and thought I saw it stop. When we get to the green we can't find it. I hit a draw so thought maybe it rolled into the left bunker. My w8fe says " Maybe it's in the hole", she looks and there it is. Second one in two years after going 0 for 20 years.
Meanwhile there's now 3 groups backed up as the 8some finishes 9. I call the clubhouse and the guy says he'll talk to them. We get to 10 and the guys ahead of us haven't teed off. Look down the fairway and the 8 some hasn't split up. Now the guys behind us are seething. They call the clubhouse and a kid comes out to talk to them. Passes us and says they'll wait for you and let you play through. Of course they don't let us play through. The foursome behind us are livid. They are likely not finishing. They call again. Didn't see anybody come out but the 8 some quits after 15. Things pick up a bit and we finish in 5 hours and 10 minutes.

    Mattyv. I still say they're luck. Both of mine came when I wasn't really playing well. This one was a decent shot, but came out low and didn't feel or look great but it went in.

        garyt1957 I still say they're luck.

        Of course they are. Most of us are just hoping to hit the green. The odds of finding the hole are low! I've had 4 aces and none of them were perfectly struck shots. One of them was downright shitty. I don't consider it an accomplishment as much as something that happened to me. 👍😉

            Typhoon it was ridiculous. Plus it was a bachelor party so you know they were drunk and slow

              My one and only HIO was pured and right at the flag. I thought it was too long when I hit it. When we got to the green we found out that it went into the hole on the fly.

              76 (38-38) at Heritage Harbor. No birdies. Had 14 pars and 4 bogeys. One of those days when everything performed well. Lag putted fine, but the few makeables for birdie didn't fall. Bermuda greens were slower than what we're used to.

              Just two of us today. Went out at 7:07 and were done at 10:10. Just a gorgeous morning.

              Mattyv I will be the oddball on this. My one and only came on a very well struck shot right at the pin. Two hops and found the cup!

              I still contend that there was some luck involved in the ball finding the hole. 😉

                  42/44 today. Quite happy with that after shooting 98 last Wednesday in the senior league. The only thing consistent is how inconsistent I am. Last time out the only iron shots I got onto the green were 70-80 yard wedges, but today I hit it to 2 feet from 130 and 6 feet from 150. (And didn't miss the birdie putts.) But then I double bogeyed 17 and 18, lol.
