Just had a hole in one!!!

NDJ4

Brought my 5 year old son out this evening for his first time for 9 holes practice in Navan and played the golf of my life! Had 2 bogeys, 6 pars and a hole in one on the 8th . Such a buzz!! We looked at each other and at the same time said "It's in the hole!". Such a fantastic moment, I'll never forget it! Can't stop smiling!

Tell him you don't like putting so always have a hole in one on the par three.

Quite tempted to retire now alright! I have so many times lately felt like firing the trolley, bag and all into the nearest lake and just packing it in for good. Evenings like that one though will keep me going for a while yet!

Yeah it was brilliant that he was there! Have been off the beer for 3 weeks now, got really strict with myself and started couch to 5k 3 weeks ago. Cut out all beer, wine, chocolate, crisps, cake etc. and have stuck to it rigourously. Haven't struggled so far and delighted with results to date. Reckon this is Karma's way of rewarding me lol

Have had 2 small bottles of champagne in the fridge for years now so decided to crack one tonight to celebrate!

That's amazing shooting regardless of the size of the hole. I have never even managed to pitch in from anywhere off the green before, have been close alright but no cigar. Yeah I'll be dragging him out to Sunday mornings competitions from now on

Really never expected to get one but delighted all the same. Definitely got lucky this evening, hit the ball sweetly but about 10 feet left of target. For a second I thought it was heading into the bunker but it went over it, hit the bank and pitched right onto the green. then 2 seconds later it dropped into the hole! Very surreal experience alright!

I was just thinking to myself reading down through the posts "Jesus he's still hyper and buzzing replying to everyone individually" hahaha

Great feat and even better to have the son with you. Congrats, only hope I'm lucky enough to get that feeling some day

Nice one OP, some buzz getting a hole in one! I got one about 3 years ago and always remember it every time i stand on that box. To do it with the young fella in tow, well that's just the stuff of legends!!:pac:
