Re: Golf 2016 - I Phil we'll never hear the Rory of the Tiger again.
I've been close to an ace three times. Two that I saw with my own two eyes, and one that I'm told lipped out of the cup by someone on the next tee, as the cup was hidden by a bunker.
The first one was with a utility wood on my first shot of the day. We started off on #10 on this particular course, which is a 170 yard par 3. The shot was okay, but the ball kept rolling and rolling, and died about 2 inches from the cup. The maintenance man was waiting for us to play the hole so he could do God knows what, so he saw the thing close up.
The second one was a mess. It was a 115 yard par 3, and I happened to blade my wedge, hitting it about a whopping 4 feet off the ground. Somehow this thing hit the stick, hit the flag itself, and dropped less than a foot away. *shrug*
The first two were on the same course. The third one was on another course, on a 180 yard par 3. Another rescue club that I hit right where I wanted, for once. There was a ridge short and to the right of the green, with a bunker right of that, and if you hit that ridge, the ball would funnel down to the usual pin placement if you catch it right. Apparently I did. I hit the shot, and couldn't see how good it was until I got to the green. Someone on the next tee told me that it lipped out, but I still had about 10 feet of work. The other two wound up as birdies. This time I managed to three-putt the **** thing for a bogey.
