Hit a pitching wedge that landed on a ridge about 6 feet past the pin and spun back into the
hole. I was playing by myself but play was slow and luckily the
gentleman ahead of me witnessed the shot and came over smiling. |

A member of the Greenwood Girls Golf

nine - a h-i-o, 4 birdies and 4 pars.
In the presence of 4 grandparents, an uncle and cousin visiting from
Wisconsin, and her parents, Kristi shot the dream round hitting every fairway, missed one green and never had a putt more than 10 feet.

I had three witnesses, Chris
Smothermon, Jack Carroll, and James Coffing to verify it. I hit the ball straight at the pin and it landed 8-10 feet in
front of the hole and rolled in. I thought at first that I had rolled off the green for this is a hard par 3 to
hold on the green. Jack said it went in and I could not believe it until I found the ball in the cup by its
lonesome. |

It was extra special because the next day I had to have a knee
operation which kept me off the links for 6 weeks. It was also special because I was
playing with my older son and an associate from work. |

Don Culmann, Paul Buergler, and John Hooten were my playing partners. The day was rather cold and
gloomy and somewhat windy. I aimed towards the right side of the green to let the wind bring it back
and as it was approaching the green, Don yelled “go in the hole”. Sure enough, the ball hit about 10
feet to the right of the flag, took two hops to the left and then disappeared into the cup. I couldn’t
believe it. Don said the expression on my face was priceless. The ace was my first one
ever. Now, I’m only one behind my Dad. Even the best golfer in my family, my brother-in-law Allen Hornaday, of ESPN
Golf Challenge fame, doesn’t have one. He may have an ESPY but he doesn’t have a
hole-in-one! - Scott Larsen |

It was looking good the whole way. I just looked down to pick up
my tee and when I looked up the ball was gone. I wasn't sure if it went in
or not. I thought it might have gone over. I told my Dad to look in the hole.
He looked in smiled and pointed down that it was in. |

1 My friend Paul Feagins and I were playing Hillcrest Country Club, not
the one in Indy, the one in Batesville, both equally nice courses. The fourth hole was playing about 160 yards from the whites. The pin
was placed back right. The green is sloped from left to right with a small creek
on the right and a bunker that covered most of the entrance to the green. Paul
pulls out a 7 iron, hits it and instantly yells out "That's Money"....and you guessed it, it was. That SOB had one hop, then right in the cup!
This is the second I've witnessed in as many years. I'm still to get mine! I think I'm becoming a little cynical....sorry I can't help it.
Anyway, props to my good buddy Paul. - Reported by Paul Richardson

1 During a four-ball tournament.
Not only was this Mark's first hole-in-one but it continued the match as they
were down 2 with 2 to play. The eventually won the 3rd playoff hole.
2 This was during the Saturday
Men's club event.
3 Three friends and myself went to Saddle Brook on May
5th. We took one guy for his birthday and the other cause he never gets to go. On the forth hole, short
par 3 about 115, Mike Youngs was playing with his brand new set of clubs. He pulled out his 9 iron which
he had never swung before and stuck it three feet in front of the pin and then
it rolled in. The ironic thing about it, he was bending down to pick up his tee and
never saw it go in. Rather be lucky than good any day. - Pete Lewkowicz.
4 This was during the Amateur
Tour of America's event. Bruce is a 21 handicap.
5 Hal Smith of Carmel, playing in the men's club at Wm. Sahm Golf Course on
Saturday, 5/19 carded a Hole in One on #14. It was 153 yards with a back right pin. He used a 7 iron which landed 6 feet short and a little to the
right, checked, and went in.
Although this was his 5th Ace since 1996, he said he was more excited about
this one than any of the others, because his best friend was playing in the group behind him and got to witness it.
Commenting on the 101 year old man in Florida who just became the oldest
golfer to ever get a Hole in one by getting his 6th Ace, Smith said "I sure hope I don't have to wait another 49 years for my next
one!"
6 I was playing in the mens club at Pleasant Run when the ace
occurred. I hit
a PW to the 134 yard 13th. It landed about a foot behind the hole, took one bounce, and came back for
the ace. - Ron Taylor
7 I would like to mention that on May 30, 2001,
on the 11th hole at Pleasant Run, Jim "Bigfoot" Clifford hit a hole
in one. It only took Jim 33 years to accomplish his 1st. We told him
"Hey, now all you have to do
is wait until you're 101 years old and you can have another."
As to buying a round - he certainly did. Everyone that was in the clubhouse and he even recruited
the gentlemen outside as this was just before our Wednesday night Navistar
league.- Bill
Klare
8 Mike was with his 7-year old son who "more impressed with his
own 3 on a 150 yard hole that day".
9 Mike hit a punch 7 iron into wind. He had just tripled the last hole and was quite chagrined as he
step to the tee.

1 This is John Delaney's second hole-in-one.
The first was in August, 1999 on the same hole.
2 Witnesses include people from Saskatchewan, Ontario, and
Philadelphia.
3 The ace occurred on the second hole of the nighttime portion
of Cricket Ridge's annual day-night tournament; witnesses on the tee were able to observe the glow disappear, then on the green see the light
of the ace from the bottom of the cup!
4 A hole-in-one was made by Anthony Rehmet of Clayton, IN
during an outing at Morningstar Golf Club Saturday September 30,2000. Hole number 5 - a
seemingly benign 150 yards, was reached by Anthony with a 7 iron. For anyone who has
played the hole, you know how rare a hole-in -one is here. The green is designed much like
an overturned bowl - and almost as fast as one too! - Steven Seibel, owner, Morningstar,
CC
5 This is Jim's 4th hole-in-one and Winding Ridge's first.
You can congratulate him at Riverside Academy most times.

1 With a brisk 15mph wind, several large trees protecting the
green, Dave decides to punch a 3 iron to the green. With his foursome and mine watching he
hits a driving shot into the cross wind directly at the hole. Watching the ball land just
short of the green, running at the hole and then disappearing we all assumed it went over
the back of the green. Of course, with further investigation, the ball was found in the
cup. To further Dave's accomplishments his foursome won the evenings total points game and
his Hole-In-One won the only skin for two weeks. To help relieve Dave of his
accomplishments he bought beers for all attendees.
2 One of the most difficult par 3 holes in the Greater
Indianapolis area is the 15th par 3 at Preswick. On Monday, July 5th, during the annual
July 4th BIG Blind Draw Choose-up, which all members struggled in 90 plus heat, Mr. Mike
Arlington, a great A Player, rose to the task and hit his tee shot 3 ½ feet short of the
pin, in one of the most difficult pin positions. It one-hopped ever so gracefully into the
cup for a Hole-In-One. A laser range finder showed the hole was 176 yards. The wind was
playing havoc and the temperature was around 93 degrees. If you have ever played Preswick,
you know what you face under normal conditions at 15, let alone with pressure. This would
be the end of the story, but Mr. Arlington, played the two par 3's at Preswick's back
nine, three under par, and never used a putter. He had already chipped in on the par 3
12th for a birdie.
3 I am a Major on the Marion County Sheriff’s Department
and an unofficial 17 handicapper. This was the first shot of a golf scramble fund-raiser
for the Mayor of Lawrence, Tom Schneider. The 7th hole offered a $10,000.00 prize for any
of the golfers that shot a "Hole in One" during the scramble. The green is
protected by a large pond to the front and large mounds in the rear. With the wind the
hole was playing a little longer than listed, about 155 yards. The shot hit the front of
the green and rolled into the hole. The shot was witnessed by two groups of golfers and
two "Official" spotters. My group finished one under par. We didn’t win the
scramble but dinner and drinks were on me! $10,000.00 - WOW !!!!!!
4 There's always an exhilaration watching a perfectly hit, high shot dropping
toward the green. That thrill is surpassed by the clang of the ball wedging itself between
the grass and the stick and disappearing into the hole leaving a 1/8" dent in the
front left edge of the cup.
A hole-in one. With a witness. And a camera. And a web site
to show the pictures.
Priceless.
5 I had my third career hole-in-one, but first in
twenty-years (since I was 16), on June 16th at Dykeman GC in Logansport. I aced the 123
yard Third hole with a pitching wedge. The shot was not exactly a classic hole-in-one as I
pulled it a little left of the hole. The ball hit the side of a green-side bunker, bounded
dead right, and fell into the cup. I'll take it.
Then, I was playing with Rick Galloway, a Real Estate Appraiser here in Logansport, on
August 18th at Dykeman where we had been laughing about my name being on the Golf
Channel's hole-in-one club the night before. Rick proceeded to ace the 157 yard Ninth hole
with an eight iron. Rick's shot was much more exact as it hit once, rolled for a short
time and disappeared. It was truly a nice golf shot.
