1putt1 did it again - a hole in one on # 6 at Surf Club. Unfortunately none of us saw it go in. Here's the scoop - 1Putt1 hit a beautiful 8 iron measuring 147 yards into a breeze. Right at the hole - with a yellow ball, it looked like a couple feet short from the tee since both the ball and the pin were yellow. We didn't realize it went in until we walked on the green and didn't see his ball. Congrats - it's his 5th I believe. However, more impressive was 1putt's bunker play - OK maybe hit a few bad shots, but he got it up and down all day - including our 27th hole on an almost impossible bunker shot - and since he was my partner I was very pleased as I had a 30 foot downhill and sidehill birdie putt that I would have had to two putt - the match was on the line.
Congrats 1putt1 - it was a pleasure playing with you today.
Oh buy the way - Surf Club is in fantastic condition - I could putt on those greens all day long - they aren't easy but roll fast and true.

Thanks for your report UGP. Congrats to 1putt1 for another hole in one. You must be 1putt1's lucky charm. Surprised he isn't calling you everyday to play a round.
Congratulations 1Putt1. Wow 2 Aces in one year. ?

UGP...I was with 1Putt1 the day he holed out in October.
It was also @Surf.
But I believe it was on the back nine.
Congrats Bob on ACE#2 in this wraparound season.

Congrats 1Putt. I've played golf for 55+ years and have made just one hole-in-one. Always thought the Surf Club was a very good course. Years ago an old friend of mine (Cheryl Brankel) was the pro there. Last I heard she had an academy at Carolina National.
Holy Cow!
Congratulations Bob and thanks to UGP for reporting so generously once again!

Thanks to all. Unlike the one in October this was a bit anti-climactic since we didn't see it go in from the tee box, so no jumping around or chest bumps, LOL. This game is strange, I went over 15 years without one and then pick up two in the last four months. So virtual free drinks to all ?
And thanks to UCP for being a great golfing companion.
The up and downs from several places - bunkers and the wrong sides of the greens were even more impressive. 1putt and I will be playing again very soon - look forward to playing with many of you on this blog too.

It is a special feeling to see the ball fall. Congratulations for the accomplishment.
Congrats to 1putt1 on the Hole in 1. UGP thanks for the update on the course.
I also dont get the whole the man that gets the hole in one buys the drinks, that is complete BS to me.
Let the Big Dawg Bark!!!
Congratulations on another ace 1putt1.... very well done!!! As for the Surf Club.... our group has played here the last 2 trips in October and the conditions were great and the greens were mint!!! We are not playing Surf Club this fall but will definitely return in the future!!
