ALLEY CAT | Played golf this morning and got my 'first hole-in-one' ever. I've been playing golf since age 12, but never had a hole-in-one. My sister-in-law in Nebraska has made two over the years, and I've been frustrated to listen to her brag about it Superstition Springs Golf course, hole #12, the 161 yard par-3. Hit a 6 iron into the breeze,,,hit on the front of the green and rolled its way into the hole I bought a set of Lynk Prowler irons from Brad Grubb in Texas about a dozen years ago, and have been using ever since. Thanks Brad for selling those irons to me!! |
DublinOH | I'd be a damn shame if you had actually shot a hole in one and no one believed you because of the date! |
Drew | And then this happened!

IF this isn't an April Fools joke, we have a saying here in Texas, AC. "Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn now and then.." Just kidding, congrats Old-Timer!

garysss | Congratulations on finally getting it in the hole on your first try. LOL 😮 |
Landscape Doctor | AC shooting a hole in one with his assistant. |
padroo | Would AC lie? |
Simonsez | Strange that AC's story aligned with April fools day. |
ed monahan | I don't believe him the other 364 days of the year (other 365 this year). lol I warned all of you the other night about April Fools and Alley Cat stories. I, on the other hand finally had my only hole in one about 3 or 4 years ago. We didn't get to finish the round, due to heavy rain and lightning. My oldest son was with me along with two other guys that I always play with but they were walking up to the front tees and didn't actually see it. I also bowled a 300 back in 1981. HONEST |
ALLEY CAT | Monahan knows me well... Portions of the story are true , , . . . .
??? maybe the ball stopped 1/2" from dropping in...the toe of the golf shoe kicked it in > no putter used |
hemidan | Ed ! I haven't had a hole in one in 38 years.lol. |
ed monahan | HD, how can you remember what happened 38 years ago? |
BradleyG | Larry, Glad those Prowler Irons worked out for you. I used then to prop open the hood during car shows. The 9 iron worked best for the hood prop.
|
ed monahan | He would probably put a hole in the hood with that horrible slice of his. lol |

Thanks again Brad for selling those Lynk Prowler sticks to me,,,,they have cut down my handicap score down to a 5, from a 8. Monahan has requested that I play a Cincy course with him,,but his playing partners have told me that he "tees up the ball" when in the fairways, which isn't often that he is in the fairways. Usually his shots stray into the rough where the jackrabbits and squirrels hang-out. They also told me that he doesn't count all of his strokes for the score card. I just can't accept this type of sports behavior, so have declined his invitation. |
hemidan | Ed ! We were at a car show when my father was living, and he got caught staring at a young woman who was poured into her jeans. Some people started to agitate him about his staring at his age (85) My father (RIP) graciously responded " I can remember when, I just can't remember why" He lived to be 92. lol |
ed monahan | I tee it up on the green, also. You don't get sunstroke in the woods, keep that in mind. You usually have your handicap based on 19 holes not one hole. 5 my butt. lol |
hemidan | Almost anybody can get it in the hole the first time! Just put a little hair around it. lol |
