Today I was trying out a couple of new clubs on the golf course(not the range) when I did something that I've never seen. On a demanding(206 yd) par three I hit my first shot a little left and it rolled into a bunker. I teed up a second ball and hit it towards the pin and really didn't pay attention to where it landed. When I drove down to the green, I didn't see a ball, so I looked in the hole, and there she was. The ball had flown directly into the hole because there was a divot at the very front of the cup. The funny part is the club I used(Taylor Made hybrib) won't be in my bag this year.(can't hit it high enough)
I recall a couple of times watching the pros play the "Island Hole", (17th at TPC?) when they put their first ball in the water and then had a hole in one on their second ball for a par on the hole. Amazing!
By the way, count me in for another golfer with zero aces though I came within an inch or less twice.

Seven of my hole-in-ones were made on holes that no longer exist. The golf courses do, but they have been redesigned over the years. I've made them with every club from a driver(persimmon) to a pitching wedge. By the way, I'm back using a regular putter so I guess I'm a posting fraud. Good Luck
Belly- That is one I would like to play. I did read however that Pete himself says his best course design is Teeth of The Dog in the Domenican Republic.
My favorite experience was the Old Course at Saint Andrews. Ugly by American standards but you could feel the history as you walked it. Gave me goose bumps to tee off.
