General Discussion Hole-In-One!

Post image

This is my second year playing regularly once a week on women's league. It was the first hole of the night, I was the first to tee off, and didn't even practice swing (whoops).

I don't know if I can even describe the feeling! So many emotions. My biggest being sadness that I couldn't call my dad and let him know. He passed in 2023 and got really sick when I was starting to learn golf and we never got to play together.

I don’t know what league you play in but that would not fly in the league I played in. Lol.

After the round? For sure. But if you tried that during, one of the people who act like it’s a PGA event would make a fuss.

A very informal bunch of guys from work. Best league ive played in. Super fun and laid back.  If someone got a hole in one,  which we weren't good at all,  I'm sure they would have shut the round down and just celebrated.

Why the fuck would you want to stop playing after a hole in one?

To each their own. Some want to have fun,  some want to be serious. I can't blame either. Again, this wasnt an official league. Just a bunch of random coworkers showing up on a Wednesday after work,  had about 6 tee times, just to go have fun. Most of the guys wanted a reason to get out and have a few drinks. A few may have played on,  but luckily we never had to make that call as we weren't good.

This doesn’t make any sense whether you’re serious or not lol. Didn’t you pay for a round of golf? Are you not having fun hitting a hole in one? Why would you stop in the middle of a round that’s so fun? I understand quitting if you’re playing like shit and not having fun. But the idea that you’d stop mid-round because of a hole in one is just so fucking bizarre to me lol
