Hole in One Stories

It Did Not Seem Real

2013-05-15T16:36:00Z

It hadn't even been two weeks when we rejoined Eagle Watch after a five year absence from the game! My husband Ed, daughter Carly, her boyfriend Matt and myself were playing in a couples twilight so we could meet people. I was not playing well at all and was trying to figure out why. My daughter said, "just get up and hit the ball Mom"! So with that in mind, I grabbed my 9 iron for a 125 yard uphill shot and just hit the ball. My husband said he saw it bounce once and go in, but of course...I didn't believe him! We got to the green and Matt ran to the hole and pulled the ball out!! I was in such shock...I screamed!! It was pretty amazing!

Hole In One at NAIA Nationals Tournament

2013-05-15T06:23:00Z

Dear Titleist,

My name is Luke Arneson and I got a hole-in-one at Creekside Golf Club on May 13. It was during my practice round for the NAIA National Championship. I used a Pro V1x golf ball and AP2 7 iron with my Titleist Player's Glove. Having these great tools from Titleist I was able to get my special hole-in-one and I thank you for that. I love Titleist and put my trust in you guys for the National Championship tournament that your equipment well help me perform to my best ability. Thank you so much for the extra help in my golf game.

Sincerely,
Luke Arneson

I almost did not play that day

2013-05-14T11:55:00Z

The weather has been cold and wet this spring in Wisconsin. We had a 9:00 am tee time temps in the high 30's, wind blowing about 15 mph out of the west.When I arrived at the course I was thinking a wise person would pass on this weather today. After talking to the rest of the guy's we decided we would play because it wasn't raining. I was playing ok, when we arrived at #7, a 143 yard par 3 playing up hill and dead into the wind. I had the honors and hit a nice shot drawing over the bunker right on line, I was hoping I had enough club to catch the green. Well it bounced once and started rolling to the pin and then we heard it hit the pin and disappear. It was my 1st hole in one and to think I wasn't going to play today.

Mothers day gift

I shot my 4th ace on 5/12/13 which happens to be mothers day with my mother as my witness. The crazy addition is that my good luck charm (my mom) has been there to witness all 4 of my aces. Happy Mothers Day to all.

1st ever hole in one

2013-05-14T03:14:00Z

Hit a 7 iron draw to a back left pin placement over the bunker on hole #7 (170yards) at cave creek golf course in Phoenix AZ. 1st ever hole in one-hopefully not the last! :-)

Hole in One at 15 Years Old

2013-05-14T01:06:00Z

I was probably playing the worst round of golf in my life. I was 10 over par through 9 and I couldn't be any more mad. I go to the short par 3 and I hit it. It lands right in front of the green and I think it is a horrible shot and I will have to go up and down for par. Next thing I know the ball rolls onto the green. I am like sweet, a birdie chance. It then gets over the ridge and rolls down the side hill. I was screaming for the ball to get in. When it rolled in, I held up my Pitching Wedge in the air for a few seconds and my friends went crazy.

Another check off my bucket list

2013-05-13T21:37:00Z

It was Masters Sunday. After a long winter, golfers in upstate NY were eager to get out whenever possible. Spring just didn't want to arrive. But we are true golf nuts. It was mid 40's..breezy, felt like 30 degrees. My normal sunday group of 20 guys was down to just 12 guys. I had hit balls in my backyard when possible, and had started wearing a glove for the first time ever. That along with a tweak in my grip, I was hitting my irons great. We get to the 4th hole..pin is up..wind is into us. I shoot it with the laser.. 137yds. Had the 7 iron, then went back for the 6. When i hit it.. I knew i hit it good. One bounce..rolled for 3 feet.. then in the hole!!!! My first ace. I had my first 300 bowling earlier this year. Working on my bucket list!!!!

usual monday golf

2013-05-13T20:37:00Z

I was playing today with two strangers who were visiting south Florida on holiday. They were impressed that I was 77 years old and still a 5 handicap player. I tried not to disappoint them and shot 40 on the front 9 but did better on the back. Made birdie on hole 14 and followed it with a "one" on hole 15, 148 yds 8 iron, one bounce and in the hole. Completed the back side at 37 for a 77,,,,exactly the same as my age.. It's getting easier every year to shoot my age. I have done it dozens of times this year. Can verify on GHIN network.

2nd Titleist hole in one

2013-05-13T13:41:00Z

Clear day, I saw this one go in.
I have been using titleist since the early 60's when they were very lively but used to cut.
Thanks for the Tag

280 yards to the Bottom of the CUP

2013-05-13T03:37:00Z

It was a sunny day on the Oaks course at the TPC San Antonio. I arrived at the 8th hole, a 604 yd par 5. I hit a drive down the middle of the fairway and had 280 yards to pin which was sitting front center. I nailed a 3 wood and my Pro V1x one hopped onto the front of the green and struck the flagstick and dropped in for a 2 !!!!

The second hardest par 5 on the PGA Tour in 2012 was brought to its knees that Tuesday.

First ever Hole In One

2013-05-13T02:10:00Z

We were playing in a qualifying round of a State wide team Scramble for our mens group; California Sons-In-Retirement. I was the "C" player and we had just bogeyed the #1 handicap hole. We all knew that we had to kick it up a notch to be in the running. Another member of my foursome noticed that the course was running a second tournament later that day and had just put out a sign on the tee box advising that a hole-in-one on this hole would win a new set of club. Jokingly I said that I needed a new set of sticks and after hitting my shot we all proceeded to watch the ball drop in the hole. Even though I didn't get the new set of clubs it was a thrill seeing it drop!

Perfect

Out with my usual weekend foursome on a bonus Friday morning and having a so-so round with the putter. Reached the Par 3, #14 with a front left pin and a slight breeze in our face. My cart partner lasered the pin, 137 yards. Decided on an easy 8 iron due to a false front which brings the ball back down the valley 50 yards. Landed about 8' short and left of the flag, bit and made a slow role with the break and dropped out of site. It was like a slow motion video that we all got to watch. Perfect!

My Hole in One at 15 yrs old

2013-05-11T22:47:00Z

It was me and three other guys that I was playing against for for competition at the Roncalli invite at Eagle Run. We had played 5 holes, not playing our bests but trying to get some low scores. And where walking up to Hole 6. I don't any of us expected much out of this hole. It was a Par 4 and had a yardage between 250 and 290. It was a down hill slope and you could barely see the green, and the flag we were unable to see.
A couple of the guys had teed off before me and then it was my turn. So I teed my ball up and set up to hit it and struck the ball. It went far and drawled toward the hole nicely and all of us could tell it had went close to the green, but weren't for sure where near the green.
When we were done teeing off we walked down the fareway looking for are balls. I see one on the fringe nicely, so I walk up to it thinking it was mine. But when I looked at more closely I figured out it was one of the other guys ball. One of the guys was going to help me find it. And another guy as we started looking jokingly said to check in the hole. And so I walked slowly up to the wondering and I look down in the hole and saw it sitting their by the pin and said "it in here" and one of the guys said "no way, seriously" because we were all in shock that it had actually happened. They all started giving me hi-fives. Even the other players of the invite congratulated me. At the end my coach was proud of me and my team.
