How many of you have made one? Share your story......

I havent made one yet, will prob die grumpy if I dont make one as its a top priority goal of mine. My grandad made 7 in his lifetime and I have all of his trophies and balls he used.....I would love nothing more than to have my dad make one and add rhat trophy to the collection as well as my own......anyways, of you gave made one, share your story.....ivw been close as hell a number of times but that doesnt count. Ive witnessed one and I was more happy than the guy that made the shot (shitty golfer we got paired with)........anyways, share your story about yours....club, yardage, after party celebration....whatever you got that makes it a big deal

Never made one before....once I was paying a longer par 3 185-195 yds and I hit a really solid shoot about 10-15 ft away. I was so happy and about one minute later my grandpa tees up a 5 wood and his a hole in one. Only time I ever witnessed one. I didn't see it drop but couldn't see it and when we went up to the hole it was in there. Was very happy for my gramps.

My last won was on a par 3 It was the 16th hole and I hit it perfect, rolled it right up the ramp, under the windmill and into the hole. Only wished I had saved it for the last hole so I could get a free round.

I have made 2 in my life.

First one I did not even know it went in. We all thought the shot went over the green and when we got up to the green started looking over the green first. Then one of the guys looked in the hole and there it was.

The second one was during a great round. I was even par after 15 holes playing a par 5 where I almost knocked in my 2nd shot and made a 3 footer for eagle to get 2 under. I then made hole in one on the next hole and parred 18 to shoot 67.

Ive also had a double eagle 2 on a par 5.

Never had one but have been within about 2 feet a few times. I tend to fade the ball which doesn't help. Maybe one day I'll get lucky.

I have two....first was on 138 yard par 3 at Country Club of Hilton Head 3rd hole....8 iron into a 20 mph wind> next was at my home course on 200 yard uphill 2nd hole. Pin was up so it was playing like 185...hit a 4 iron...this after chipping in for eagle at 500 yard par 5 first hole.....4 under par after 2....hate to say I shot 81, but I was in a daze after that start. My buddies never let me forget. That was when I was 40 and 3 handicapp.....got the yips a few years later and would have trouble breaking 90 now at 50..in the infamous words of Carl Spackler...he'll quit the game...I did.
