I tried to do a search on this.
But has anyone had a hole in one?

I had one 30 years old at a course that doesn't exist anymore, the Harry Pritchett Golf Course in Tuscaloosa.

125 yards with a choked down 9 iron. The ball landed middle of the green and rolled about 10 feet into the hole.

I have come close a few times on #17 at TPC but have not had another Ace.

Anyone else?

Hole 3 at Koasati Pines a few years ago. 147 yard 9 iron.

I would trade it for a round of even par 72 one time.

I use to play Harry Pritchett.

It seems like it had a decent front 9, but weird layout on the back.

I made a hole in one at Fort Gordon, GA in 1994.

Center Golf Course.
Second hole. 150 yards. I put a 7 iron in the hole. My brother made birdie and I beat him by one that day.

Later that week I holed out on number 9 which was a short par 4.

The place only had one par 5, but it was like 550.

They had a front 10 and a back 8.
And yes that layout was super weird.
But it was cheap. I walked it many times and it was not an easy course to walk.

I don't remember exactly what #hole it was. I think #16.

Playing golf for almost 40 years and never had one. Came very close MANY times.

Almost had an ace on a par 4 two years ago... #12 at Frasch Park. We were looking for my ball and thought the ball on the green was from an adjacent hole but no one was there and when we realized it was my ball the angle made it go right next to the cup. It stopped about 2' away... and yes I made the putt for Eagle. That would have been awesome to have my first ace on a par 4.

Had one when I was about 14 or so...5 wood off the long tees. My stepdad, who still shoots around 80 and played at the college level, has never had one.

I’ve had two on the same hole. #6 at Willowdale/Grand Ridge

But there’s a catch. First time I chunked my first shot into the water. Reteed and holed it for out for Par.

Second time, about 6 years later, same hole, with the exact same playing partners. Hit a SW just past the hole, bounced and bit and backed up into the hole. And it’s a good thing I holed it too because had I not it would’ve rolled off the front of the green.

I was doing a med schoopsychiatry rotation at the Tuscaloosa VA.

They let us play for free!

I played until dark everyday.

I put one about 3 feet away Monday. The ball bounced once and curled right around the cup.

I've been playing close to 40 years and never had one.

Have only had 2 eagles, and both were at LSU and 1 was on a par 4.

Chipped in for eagle from about 30 yards out on #5 (the 2nd par 5 on front side)

The par-4 was #14, which is the dogleg left hole where you tee off over the canal. I tried to cut the dogleg and smashed one pretty good. I didn't see it land, but how I didn't hit a tree is beyond me. It might have even hit the cart path. But it ended up about 10 yards short of the green and as luck would have it, the pin was way up on the front of the green and my ball wasn't more than 40 feet from the hole. I chipped in for eagle.

Came very close on LSU # 8, it rolled over the side of the cup and I had 3 ft. Also hit the pin on Atchafalaya #2 but didn’t drop
