Southern Dunes, Orlando, FL
#11 - Par 3 - 166 yards
This was Ken's 3rd ace. He says he used a 5 iron but reliable witnesses argue that it was a 5 wood :)
Either way it was a pretty shot.

Mike Lewis

Shenandoah Golf Club, Gordonsville, VA
#17 - Par 3 - 140 yards
|
"After playing six years, I got a hole in one at Shenandoah Golf Club,
located in Gordonsville, Virginia. I used a Taylor Made 9 iron at the
17th green, par three 140 yard from the white tees. I usually shoot in
the high 90's, and rarely even hit the greens on par three's. It was my
first and hopefully not the last. I play in a regular foursome and I'm
the third to get their first ace."

#5 - Par 3 - 189 yards

"I hit a six iron from about 189 on the 5th hole there. I was just talking about how I thought I could use some different irons, I need a change from my MP33's and the next thing was wow, in the hole. Needless to say my irons are in the bag for another month, ha ha."

"With 4 skins riding on it and my buddy Bill in too close for comfort I chose a 5 iron into the wind. I never saw the ball go in, but the guys on #5 tee were raising hell so i guess luck beats skill 9 times outta 10."

I was not playing very well that day. When we got to the 8th hole I decided to change balls. I hit my Ping eye2 4 iron and it took one bounce into the hole. I went with a titilest pro v,for my first hole in one.

Greystone Golf Course
#14 - Par 3 - 132 yards
|
I was having a pretty good round on a perfect fall day at Greystone Golf Course. The wind was blowing about 15 mph when I came up to the 14th hole that was playing 132 yards slightly up hill. I clubbed down to an 8 iron but hit the shot thin. I couldn't believe it when it sail onto the green and rolled 15 feet into the cup. Thankfully, my father-in-law was there to offer high fives and witness my first ever hole-in-one. |

Golf Club of Avon, CT (Red Course)
#2 - Par 3 - 194 yards
|
Playing in my brother-in-law's member/guest, I hit a 5 wood. I was so hung over from the night before that I hit it, saw that it was headed for the green and went to sit back in the cart. Our opponents started screaming when they saw it go into the cup.

Bill Byrne (again)
September 29, 2002
Penn National Founders Course
#13 - Par 3 - 143 yards
|
On our annual Fall golf trip, I hit a 7 iron. This time I saw it all the way into the cup. What was better was that the hole was the closest-to-the-pin hole in our little tournament so I got to write 0 on the "Closest-to-the-pin" marker for all my buddies to see that came after me.

John Adams

June 26, 2003
Herndon Golf Course
#6 - Par 3 - 132 yards
|
I've been playing golf for 37 years and this was my first hole-in-one. What a feeling. I play in a league on Thursday nights and the 6th hole is usually into the sun, so, you can't see where your ball ends up. I hit the shot thinking the ball had rolled off the back of the green but when we got to the green and looked for my ball it was "IN THE HOLE"!!!

Stonehouse
#3 - Par 3 - 175 yards
|
We began the year by going to Williamsburg, VA in late March. It was just three of us because one of our regulars couldn't make it. The third hole at Stonehouse was playing 175 yards and I hit a five iron with a little cut. It landed, kicked two yards right and disappeared. Neither one of my friends had ever seen an ace before. They were more excited than I was. It was my third in my thirty years of playing.

Meadows Farm Golf Course
Locus Grove, VA
Waterfall Side, #8 - PAR 3 - 139 Yards
|
We had made the trip down to Meadows Farm that day unaware there was a small company outing going on, but were allowed to play. We were just right on the tail end of the last two groups when we were given the ok to play on through on this Par 3 (we were just a group of 3). With my group and two others all sitting around watching I try to casually hit my 8 Iron. Thinking I hit it a bit fat, I turned back to the cart thinking 'it figures, all these people watching and from up at 139 yards, I'm short'. All of the sudden one of the guys in my group yells "it's in"! Thinking he is just kidding me for the short fat shot I thought I had just hit (you know this guy - every group that plays seems to have a least one of these guys) I didn't believe him and was sure my ball was laying somewhere in the deeper first cut short of the green . After we pulled the cart up, I went looking for my ball, they go over and pull the pin and out pops my Top-Flite Magna. One of my best moments in golf, my first and only hole-in-one...and didn't even see it go in!

Penderbrook Golf Club
Hole: #10 - Par 3 -220 yards
|
It all happened so fast and unexpected....... I just arrived at the Penderbrook Golf Course with a golf buddy, Sunny, and we were trying to tee off, however, there was a 'backup' at the front nine holes. The starter decided to let us tee off from the back nine holes. We noticed that the back nine holes were just as crowded, so we teeded off right away. Without taking any 'practice swing' I just picked up my driver, because there was a strong wind in my face, and took a whack at the ball. The ball took a little draw to the green, and when the ball landed it disappeared. At first, Sunny and I thought that the ball rolled off to the back of the green. Well, when we got to the green and as we were walking toward the back fringe, we both took a peak at the hole just in case, and guess what................. the ball was in the cup!

Max Altman
July 23, 2003
Westfields Golf Club
Hole: #7 - Par 3 - 157 yards
|
Avenel GC employee Max Altman got his first hole-in-one from the Blue Tees with an 8 iron - the shot traveled uphill, across the beautiful (and steep!) gorge onto the 157 yd. par 3, bounced once and disappeared. When we reached the green, it was in the hole. Nice ovation from the work crew on #6 followed!
Westfields presented Max with a beautiful club pennant signed by Fred Couples to memorialize the event. Great day. (As reported by Max's father - Richard Altman)

Hole #10 - Par 3 - 191 yards
|
I was playing with, my buddy, Marcus in our practice round for the U.S. Amateur qualifier. Going to the tenth hole thinking about putting a good move on it, I grabbed the 5-iron and it never left the flag. Way more fun than the first one, I got to see this one go in.

Blue Mash Golf Course
Hole #6 Par 3, 127 yards (playing about 115)
|
I used a PW and Maxfli Noodle Ball (for the first time). I hit it high and straight over a bunker that was guarding the pin tucked behind it. The ball landed on the fringe and rollled like a putt into the hole. It was awesome and I shot my best round ever too! (83).

Mervin W Bierman, Dundalk, Maryland
March 26th, 2004
Springhill Golf Course, Aurora, Colorado
Hole #17 - Par 3 - 138 yards
|
No idea what time is was, but it was growing dark and cold with no wind. The plan was to hit the approach over the bunker guarding the left front to a pin in the left rear. The shot looked really good off the tee, but disappeared over a small ridge in the green. I thought the shot was (way) long. Hunting in the rough (under the pine tree, thank you) behind the green I could not find my ball. The playing partner walked up to try his 30 footer for birdie when he noticed a Strata 1 in the cup. Since it looked identical to the one I teed up, sounded good to me! Allowed me to win the match by one stroke, expensive drinks all around.

Hole #2 - Par 3 - 71 Yards
|
I used a PW and a titleist Pro V1 ball. The ball hit the green and then rolled back into the hole(I didn't see it)!! All of a sudden the guys in the group started yelling "it went in". I walked up to hole still not believing and the ball was in the cup!

Bowling Green Country Club
Front Royal, VA
Hole #4 - Par 3 - 157 yards
|
I was playing in the semi-annual "Manassas
Assembly of God Golf Tournament" when I got
my first ACE. My team was on the island green,
4th hole, and each of my 3 teammates had found
the water. The pressure was on to simply get a
ball on the putting surface. As I walked onto the
tee with my 8 iron, people from nearby holes
stopped to watch, no doubt hoping that I would hit
into the drink. My shot flew high and early
indications were that I might be putting. The ball
landed 24 inches to the left of the cup, spun hard
right, and dropped in. Friends numbering near
double digits witnessed the shot. My first ACE
could not have been sweeter.

Spring Mill Country Club, Ivyland, Pa
Hole #15 - Par 3 - 155 Yards
|
In a slight rain and breeze, I hit a 7 iron that landed in 5 feet in front of the hole. It was tough to follow the ball. This particular hole has a fountain in front. I'm not sure as to why the fountain was spewing water high in the air like the Bellagio in Las Vegas but it caused enough intermittent obstruction of our view that we all thought the ball rolled to the back of the green. It wasn't until we couldn't find it at the back of the green did I check the hole to find it in it!

I used a 6 iron. The ball hit the flagstick and dropped in. No one could find the ball until someone thought about looking in the cup. This was my first of two hole-in-ones.

Hole #5 - 196 yard - Par 3
|
Bear Creek Ranger, Walt Parker was waving groups up the hill on this #1 handicapped, 196 yard par 3 hole. With the foursome in front of us still on the green, I pulled my Cobra 3 wood and launched a shot directly over the pin to the sloped green, the ball trickled back and down the slope into the hole for my ace.

Hole 16 - 156 yd - Par 3
|
After I hit my 7 iron shot I felt I had used a little to much club, but my team mates shouted looks good. The ball never touched the green. It flew right into the hole. Wow what a rush to creep up to the hole and find that Titleist Pro V1 in the bottom of the cup.

Hole 14 - 190 yd - Par 3
|
I hit a Titleist Pro V1 with my three-iron and it went right at the hole. It landed about five feet away and just stopped. Then it started trickling, and all of a sudden it just disappeared. I think it took 5 or 6 seconds. The caddie told me he’s worked there for 14 years, and this was the first hole-in-one he’s ever seen on the 14th. It was just a heck of a shot.
