Just got my first hole-in-one today So I just got my first hole-in-one today. I'm obviously very excited as I've only been playing golf for about 1 1/2 years and it was a huge accomplishment! It was a par 3, 144 yards I used my 8 iron and I kind of bladed the shot but it hit the green and just rolled up into the cup. :) my dad (who has been playing for 40+ years on and off) hasn't had one yet and was mad but also happy for me :). Anyways, for the golfers out there, share your hole-in-one stories.
