One of our early players out this morning made a hole in one on our 295 yard Par Four 17th hole.
Hole in ones are rare but making one on a par four is extremely rare. We'll be putting up a story about it on our blog.
I'll post a link once it is up.
This is also called a Double Eagle or an Albatross. They more commonly happen with someone making a 2 on a par 5. I've made three of these myself while I have never made a Hole In One yet!

I always hope that if i ever get one it's not on league night cause that would be expensive!

I was playing with a member at a member/guest event at an exclusive club on Long Island when the member hit a beautiful shot on a par three headed straight for the hole. As the rest of us are cheering "Yes!" he was screaming "No!" for fear he would have to buy a drink for everyone on the course,if he made the hole in one, as per the club's traditions.
The ball stopped about 2 inches from the edge of the cup.
Congrats and pretty cool on that shot. Could ya'll tell at the point of happening, or did you have to go up to be able to see

I was working and only heard about it. You can see the flag but not the putting surface from the tee. There's a big bunker short of the green that you have to fly it over.
An hour later we almost had another on the same hole. A guy's ball ended up 5 behind and just to the right of the hole. With the slope on that green, his ball had to hit the hole or at least skim it on the way by!
how does a cool golf thread degenerate into a bash me festival in ONLY 5 posts...
FYI,
I've never aced one, been close.
But since you asked ,
I have had double eagle...
and sadly, I'm not a great golfer but I love the game !

I just can't figure it out either, Wheel. I mean, how could that possibly happen to such a reserved, modest and humble guy like you.
I understand it is a huge deal, though, especially on a par 4. I also understand the guy hitting said shot is on the hook for drinks at the 19th hole...
