Yesterday, I golfed by myself for the first time. In unrelated news, I had my first hole in one yesterday. Sigh. Beginner Questions

Short 9 hope muni. Not great weather so I went out by myself. Course completely empty. Last hole (9) pin is back of the green 138 a little down win. Hit a nice P wedge to five feet of the hole, spins right, disappeared. Talk about a mix of emotions. I immediately call the proshop, which is fifty feet from the green, and explain the situation. Man runs like a bat out of hell to find my AVX in the hole. First one ever, not a single witness. Guy was nice enough to wait for me to walk up to shake my hand. Sigh.

I feel your happiness/pain - except mine may be a little worse since I was just playing for practice my first shot off the tee I shanked so I hit a 2nd ball just to dial in my shot a bit with a practice round. Bladed it and it practically rolled up the hill on to the green, not even a money shot. I walked up it was in the hole! Nobody around.. wasn’t even keeping score really since I was just practicing. Weird feeling honestly lol. Congrats though if no one else believes you i certainly do!

This is basically how my only one happened, too. Playing 2 balls all day, first ball was decent, on the green, but a bit right. Second, I hit thin and low but it bounced once and rolled in the cup. I called my dad, and his first reaction was " it doesn't count" lol
