Hole in One! On a Par 4! - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**byncnombmub** · 08-26-2011, 07:47 PM

Not me, but a guy hit a hole in one on a par 4 on a course from my hometown.

Bryan had reached the green once, maybe twice, he says, but on this occasion he was just trying to get the ball close enough for a chip at eagle.

"After I hit it, we all knew it was a great tee shot," Bryan said. "We had to walk over to the left side of the tee box to see it land. I didn't see it, but the guys in the group saw it land and mentioned that it might make the green."

Bryan watched the green where the group ahead was putting.

"One of the players on the front of the green raised his arm," Bryan said. "My first thought was, 'Oh, no ... I rolled it up on them.' Then all four players raised their arms and at that point I realized it probably rolled in for a one."

His fears of hitting a player fell away as he realized he might have accomplished one of the sport's rarest feats. Golf Digest says the odds of an average player making an ace on a par 3 is 12,000-to-1, and 5,000-to-1 for a low handicapper.

That's for a par 3.

That is very cool! Love reading stories like this!

We have a short par 4 at a beautiful course out here in Golden Colorado...

http://www.fossiltrace.com/Flyovers/Hole2.swf

This short 320yd downhill par 4 with a front center funneling green of sorts that depending on pin placement has yielded a few hole in ones. There's actually a strategically placed camera near the green and a TV monitor on the tee box so you can watch where tee shots land...

My home course has a par 4 that if you play straight at the green over the water it plays like a ridiculously long par 3... and there is one guy in the league that has made a hole in one 3 separate occasions over the course of 3 years. Local news did a video story on it that you can see here:

**tousuarshatly** · 08-26-2011, 08:02 PM

I hit a freaken hole in one on a par 4. Blip!

**Unamannuato** · 08-26-2011, 08:05 PM

A friend of mine was on the receiving end of one of these here, meaning he was on the green when this ball rolled up and in. The golfer, a student of his, was scared because all he could see were 4 guys raising their arms and yelling.

**tousuarshatly** · 08-26-2011, 08:05 PM

Well...........what's the story One-T?!?!!?!?

It was the first year I really started golfing. Its an uphill par 4 with an awesome view. Reads 281 from the tee we were playing. Its a tiny and tough green, the entire hole funnels everything left. So, I told my playin gpartners I was gonna go over all these trees to make the ball hit on the bank and funnel towards the hole. Well, I hit it EXACTLY where I was aimed. We get up there, I cant find my ball anywhere. I was new to golf and never once thought to look in the hole. So, I dropped and chipped onto the green. We all went to putt and when the guy pulled the flag he says, there is a ball in here...what ball were yu hitting, I say a Top Flight. and we all freak the hell out.
