The Ledges in St George Utah 586 yard par 5 7th hole. Hit driver 8-iron from 182 in the first cut, caught it a little on the toe so it had no spin and came up short and right but took a big bounce forward onto a hill, then rolled down the hill left about 20 feet and in.

Your drive went 404 yards?

I can't relate to any of these yardages.

Elevation changes and higher altitudes can make the ball go a long way. Their website's description of Hole 7 says it's reachable in two.

182 8 iron isnt too shabby either. Thats pretty impressive in two shots, congrats.

Why is that so far fetched? You’ve never gone N4H?

The hole kinda snakes around a little so it’s 586 if you play it point to point to point not straight at the hole. Drive went over a fairway bunker and landed on the back side and shot off another 50-60 yards.

Could be Rogue X irons so it’s really a 5 iron.

The 182 8 iron is sort of believable, but how did you get to that point? 400 yd drive?

He’s playing a downhill, dogleg hole that has a carry to shorten it. Not to mention he’s at 3500+ feet in the desert making carry and roll out much easier.

This isn’t some water-logged flat course in south La with 2” thick Bermuda fairways

Congratulations, hopefully you were playing for money.

My first one on the 18th hole on day helped turn us from 8 bets down to 8 up

Congrats man.

I’ve made one in my life, at LSU Golf Course the Saturday before Katrina hit. Mine was a 205 yard 5 iron on what is now #2, it was #7 back then. Still waiting for a hole in one.

Congrats sir. The only way I could do that is on XBox. If I hit a drive 225-250 I’m happy.
