How many Hole-In-Ones have you had?

I have had two! One was a Par 3 - 178yds @ The Georgia Club and one was Par 4 - 358yd downhill hole#1 @ Bears Best ATL. Hopefully another will occur soon! Playing Primm Valley Desert course Thursday am.
That's not just an ace, that's a double-eagle ace. Outstanding.
I've had 4. The first one was kind of like that commercial where the kid makes one and looks around thinks no one saw it. It had just moved to town and was at Las Vegas Muni playing by myself. I kind of skulled it and it ran up and went in the hole. I'm thinking "man, my first hole-in-one and no one saw it but me. No one will believe me." Then the group on 18 starts yelling to me that they saw it. They all signed my scorecard and we went and got drunk. Pretty cool. The other one of note was in a charity tournament at Canyon Gate a long time before I became a member. There were some nice hole-in-one prizes so there were spotters on each hole. #6 is a downhiller about 150 from the tees we were playing. I hit a 9-iron that looker real good. It was really bright out and it was hard to see where it landed. When I got to the hole I asked the spotters if they saw it. They said it was on the back fringe. My buddy said no, that was his ball. He went to the cup and it was in! It must have flown right in. I got an antique slot machine that's woth several thousand. The prize on the other par-3 was a Porsche.
I have one ... About 10 years ago at a ratty local course here called Springfield, 162 yard, No. 6, 7 iron. ... And there is a story to go with it. ... The hole was really playing 172, but I didn't figure that out before I hit the tee box. I would have undoubtedly dropped to a 6 iron and ended in a bunker instead of an ace, had I known. lol ... Also, amusing, is that I was only somewhat confident the ball was in the hole, but wasn't 100 percent sure it hadn't rolled off back of green (the hole was about as close to the back of the green as allowed by regulation). So I am anxiously waiting while Mrs. Mush tees off and dribbles one. Then another. lol

I am very erratic, but I have come within an inch or two of a hole in one on at least three other occasions -- Las Sendas (No. 14, about 160 from blue tee box), Villa de Paz (No. 16, 220 yards) and Dobson Ranch (No. 17, 168 yards). I am or may not have broken 100 on any of those days. lol

I've had one...7/9/94. Playing in a group at my home course near Marietta, Ga. Number 6 hole is a 165 yard downhiller.

As we walked up to the tee my I asked my BIL, "how many are we down", he says "2". I respond "Hell, I need to play hard". It hit 2 times and rolled in.

I've been within 1 foot several times since--but no more HIO yet.
Been close twice, but no cigar.
I had one at my home course in 8 years.

It hit the stick and dropped in.

nine at Aviara which is in Carlsbad CA just minutes from La Costa, it was 343 yards to the green, Aviara was voted number one new golf course by golf digest when it opened, the hole was a par four down hill dogleg to right we were playing white tees because it was the first time I played it. My friend who had played it before, mentioned on the tee box that last time he drove the green, I get up there and hit it on the screws down the left side it bounces and starts rolling for the green he yells its going to make it just then the foursome that was walking of the green all turn and stop and then the lady in there group starts jumping up and down and yelling its in its in we get down there and sure enouph a ace, third was bloomington golf St. George, UT #2 par three 170 yards a seven iron that hit and checked rolled about six feet and died into the cup.

Golf truly theraputic
Never had one, but my two almosts are kind of strange.

About twelve or thirteen years ago, we were playing the short par three at Desert Pines that borders the driving range to the south. I hit a pitching wedge to about one foot. Sorry to miss it, but happy to have it.

A couple of years later I come to this hole, pull the wedge and stick it to about a foot!

Haven't played there since. Just can't seem to get it in the hole.

Good Luck!
