I figured we could have a thread on golf rounds. I'll go 1st. Played Whirlwind Cattail course today. I was hitting the driver far. Pushing 290-300 75% of...

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. 😉

The only time a HIO is luck is if it is off line and strikes some object that caroms it back into play and into the hole. Shithouse luck, I believe they call it.

Standing on a (ex.)150 yd. Par 3 hole, a person will pull the club they hit(maybe) 150. They are looking at the green and intend to hit the ball towards that green and cup. If it does go towards the green, and it goes in....HIO, that was an intended shot, no other way to look at it, esp. as "luck".

It just makes it that much clearer as to how many 'pure' shots we may hit in a lifetime. Golf.....is a bastard game.

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.

#18 really pissed me off. Three putted from 10 feet. 🙃

Yeah, one of the guys in our old quota group had one of those. It bounced off a bunker rake and took a 45 degree turn into the hole.

Still waiting for my first, but I don’t want of one of those. 😏 Had a chance at one yesterday. Smoked an 8 iron to a back flag (140) and yelled my typical "drinks!!!"

Ball disappeared from view, but when we got up there it was 5 yards past the hole just off the green. Sometimes I yell, "be the right club today!!!"

For awhile I thought I was jinxing myself so I didn’t yell anything.😐 But now I’m back yelling. 😲
Might need a new yell. Like "get in the hole you bastid!!!"

It's pure luck every time I hit the ball.😜

garyt1957 hole in one, or wife??
Congratulations on the ace!!

garyt1957

Walterjn hole in one, or wife??

They're both nice to have

Walterjn

garyt1957 so does that mean 2 hole in one, 2 wives???

Sneakylong Did it carom off a standing rake, or one that was on the ground?

When I was a teenager I watched a guy blade an 8-iron right into a standing rake. It then bounced off the rake at just the right angle and speed to roll right into the hole.

It was ridiculous.

Sneakylong yelled my typical "drinks!!!"

You definitely need to stop yelling this. It's got to be a jinx. 🙂

The rake was laying flat, just above the bunker which is just in front of the green on an upslope. Basically a trick shot. lol

rsvman2

Sneakylong So the one I watched was probably even more unlikely, bouncing a rapidly moving and rotating sphere off a standing narrow cylinder and somehow having the collision steer the ball right into the hole. It just might have been one of the most unlikely holes-in-one in history.

Walterjn so does that mean 2 hole in one, 2 wives???

They're (wives) not THAT nice to have

Walterjn

garyt1957 hahaha, I wouldn't know. I have neither wife, or hole in one!!

80 today with a double bogey and 3 missed putts inside 6'🤬

39/46 for 85. I chipped real nice, inside 10 feet many times. But didn’t hardly make any of those. I’m missing left with the armlock putter. It’s a very solid stroke but I can’t aim it. At least it was a beautiful fall day.
