hole in one...kind of

My buddy and i would go to the local range and have competitions who could get the closest to the pin...We would win $1000 for landing it on the green and $3000 for being the closest to the pin(mind you we are both poor and lay just a friendly wager) We are ~ 120 yds from the pin. So my buddy hit his 3 shots 2 on the green (1) ~5 feet from the pin. I hit 2 (1) on ~20 feet and the other one missed the green. So with my third shot I hit the green ~3 feet from the pin. My buddy in discust calls me and ass and turns his back. As I am laughing I look at the green and only see 3 balls on it. When the only other guy at the range leaves I ran out to the green and sure enough it was in the hole. So I guess i got a unofficial hole -in- one. It bugs my buddy everytime it is brought up.

Funny thing is i did it again last month to a different buddy....Why can't i do it on the course???????

There's no pressure on the course!

A holed out is a holed out shot, who cares where it is or how it happened.

I tell you how you could take to the course ... play for $3000!

I'll tell you a great story:
I was in a practice round with a mate and we always for a bit of drinking money on skins. We always double up on par 3's... We get to the 16th hole and there's about R500 ($90) looking for a owner. I send mine into the bunker at the back and my mate pull hooks his shot into the water left. I rekon I got the money won and ripped him something bad ...

Next thing he pulls another ball and stuff me if he holes the damn thing for a par 3! No more smile on my face ...

Naturally with broken spirit I don't get up and down and he wins the money. I have never forgiven him. He rekons he did it on purpose ... yeah right!

That'll teach ya to play with scratch golfers!

I'm still dying to get another birdie, let alone an ace.

I've only got 2 birdies lifetime - one legitimately, and one not.

My first birdie, I was lying 2, 17 yards from the pin (which was at the front of the green). I pulled the texas wedge, and figured I'd lay 'er up nice, and drop my putt for my first par.
Well, fate would interfere and my ball would take a hop and carom into the cup! (I realize that this is, in fact, a legit birdie, but since it was luck and not skill, I don't really want to count it.)

My 2nd was legit - dropped an iron to an elevated green (25') and dropped a 15' putt.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.

The old Freddie Couples par, eh Graham? That takes quite a bit of mental strength to go from drowning a ball in a hazzard to holing a ball with the next shot on a par 3. Too bad you lost the money on it!
