Wedge from about 90 yards for eagle on a par 5. Long time ago.

179 for an ace, 84 feet on a putt.
The putt was hilarious as it was a match in which my buddy stuck it to 4 feet, and I barely hit the farthest side of a large green. Then, I just smacked it over and huge up and down ridge, to watch it drop. He then missed the putt.
I know we're fighting the math here...you only get 3 or 4 chances a round at a hole in one, but 14 or 15 chances at holing out, so there's that. But...teeing it up, speaking for myself, makes a big difference in my shot quality, so you'd think that would improve the odds. Still no hole in one for me either.EliteElectric said:
215 with a 2i on #18 at the old layout TAMU in an AGC tourney. I needed 79 to advance and needed to birdie the 480 yd par 4 for a 79. Eagled it to advance only to blow up and shoot 85 the next day to bomb in my flight.
I too have holed out dozens of times from lessor yardages, including a wedge from 105 on #5 for eagle and a 9i from 140 on #16 for eagle at the old Bryan Muni in an API tourney, and still do not have a hole in one after 30 years of playing.
Hole in one's are rare and hard to get.
Unless I am in the rough or a bare spot, or some other anomaly, teeing it up doesn't really affect me too much. I never tee it up on par 3's unless the turf is suspect. But you're 100% correct on the math, there aren't that many opportunities to make a one on a golf course.snowaggie said:I know we're fighting the math here...you only get 3 or 4 chances a round at a hole in one, but 14 or 15 chances at holing out, so there's that.
