After twenty or so years of playing golf I finally got a hole in one yesterday. It was on the 143 yard hole number three at St Johnsbury Country Club. I tried to buy drinks for my playing partners afterward but the waitress comped them to us. Sweet all around.

Very nice. Make sure you register your feat at http://www.usgolfregister.org/press.asp. Also, if you contact the company of the brand of golf ball you used, they may give you something. Calloway give me an award plaque with the details of the hole in one. CONGRATS, tell us the details... what club did you use and how long was the shot?

Friday of last week I was 18" away from my first.
Closest yet.
It was sweet.

Congrats!

Quite a few years ago, my stepfather and I each had one (the one and only for each of us), on the same hole, about two weeks apart. Very cool feeling.

Congrats! It's a great feeling isn't it? I also had one that was 143 a few years ago.

Very nice. Never had a hole in one, but did hit a second shot in the hole from about 180 yards on the first hole once. Par four hole.

Congratulations sir :tu

I am still working on getting the ball in the hole in less than 8 strokes. How the hell do you guys do it in one? :hm

Congrats on the hole in one. Had my first and only back in 1983 on the 10th at the Parris Island golf course. Haven't been within a foot since.:tu

Congrats. I've come really close a handful of times, but that damn hole in one still eludes me.

... tell us the details... what club did you use and how long was the shot?
It was 143 yards and I used a Callaway Big Bertha 5 iron, (obviously I'm not a big hitter). Pin was about 1/3 of the way onto a slightly right sloping green. The ball landed eight or ten yards onto the green and rolled about twelve feet into the cup, it looked like it had radar.
I carry a 22 handicap and regularly play with a guy who carries a 7, (he was with me). He has had two Aces and given the disparity in our games, I truthfully NEVER thought I would get one.

Thanks to all for the good wishes.
