Congrats mate!!! I’ve only made one, ten years back, but it was a great thrill. Framed the card and the ball. Seen two more among players in my groups over the years including one my buddy called mid-air (he was scratch or near enough). Had two full-swing hole outs, one at Castle Stuart, which were pretty fun.Well today was a day I shall remember for the rest of my days. My very first hole in one. 17th hole, 125 yards over water. 51 degree gap wedge and it went straight the hole, pitched 5 feet short, released and rolled straight into the centre of the cup. Shame about the 16 preceding holes.

I’m off to get pissed now (and yes that green is in an awful state but we’ve had two weeks of sandstorms and 45 degree heat so they took a battering).
I've regripped A bronty chipmaster mk1 and have used it on a couple of rounds this week. A brilliant little club
Cheers bud. It was in the weekly newsletter and I’ve had a handful of clients text me and say I spend too much time on the course.
Ha. Yeah I’m very much in that phase still. In Doha I’m about 6 minutes away from the course but where we’re moving to for my wife’s work, I’ll be about 200m (literally) from the golf and country club entrance so I’ll be able to cut down on that commute. The only issue is that it backs on to the beach and they pride themselves on having a water hazard on every hole. So it’s probably going to be very expensive in terms of balls.lol. I could of been accused of that at one time. In the past I very often played everyday and gone out practicing on the putting green and short game area after 6pm (during Summer). I live about 500 yards from Worsley Park Marriott which is handy. My sons back garden backs onto the 7th tee, Christ the wife would never have seen me.
You could say I was addicted

I’ve sent you a pm but I’ll take some pictures when I get there.Beach, sea, and sun. I`m jealous mate. What`s the name of the course so I can have a look and let my jealousy run free. 8-)
I had a hole in one at the 14th at Ashton Under Lyne in 2005 on a charity golf day, I won a weeks holiday for two to Dubai, we went for the Dubai Cup Horse Race meeting and stayed at (I think)the Rotan hotel, cost me a fortune in spending money!Well today was a day I shall remember for the rest of my days.

There’s a stunning private course right on the loch.. invitation only if you’re not a member.. I’d love to play there.. Just onceUp by Loch Lomond for a week surrounded by great courses but not a chance of getting a round in. Still it’s not all bad and definitely inspired to return with the clubs
