I was with my good friends, Rob and Sandy Bisson, and my wife, Nancy Horsley. I used a six iron, and the hole was 171 yards that day. It’s my first hole-in-one. The real story is that as I was waiting for the ladies to hit, I looked down and saw a four-leaf clover 🍀. I picked it up and said to myself I wish for a hole-in-one. I took my six iron and without a practice swing just hit it. It was tracking so nicely that we all stood there watching and the excitement started. We were all saying look it’s in-line with the pin. Was like slow motion! It hit the ground and rolled 6- 12 inches into the hole. Of course, we were all screaming at this point. People on the other hole came over. Willow Park was great. Went into the pro shop and informed them and went to the restaurant. Free drinks for everyone! It was a fantastic day!

Thanks so much for the kind words.

I was playing with my brothers, John and Dave, as well as a friend, Shane Carter. Hole number 3 at Wildfire Golf Club. Approximately 100 yards to the red flag. Used my 56 wedge.

Thanks again!

Greetings from Chilliwack, B.C.!

It was a beautiful day at the Cultus Lake Golf Course. I was golfing with my husband, and it was late afternoon. My husband wasn’t having the best round and wanted to quit after twelve, but we decided to keep going. Hole #13, a par 3, was playing 138 yards from the red tees. I used my driver and both my husband and I lost sight of the ball as it reached the shadows on the green. As we approached, we didn’t see the ball and I assumed it rolled off the back. As I was walking by the hole, I looked down to the cup and there was my ball! I was very excited indeed. The first one in nearly 40 years of golfing!

I was playing with Gregg Peterson. The yardage for the hole that day was 158 yards, and I used a 7 iron.

Thank you,

Craig

Witnesses for the day were Karen Marriott (my wife) and Karen Mario. The fourth hole at Deer Valley is short, only playing 109 yards that day. As you can see from the photo, you are either on the green or in serious trouble. I hit a gap wedge since it was unusually calm. I took no pictures that day but the attached represents the layout last week.

This is the second ace that I have managed and have commented several times in the last few years that I was overdue for a second, particularly since my wife got an ace a couple years ago and we were tied until last Sunday. I waited 32 years and 363 days for this one and am now in the lead again.

Deer Valley is a truly fabulous layout, down in a glacial valley surrounded by miles of flat prairie farm land. There is an aerial video on the website that is worth watching. Although the score card shows the course not to be particularly long and the ratings don’t truly reflect the difficulty; it can eat you up. I worked as a starter/marshal for a few years and when new players asked for advice about the course, it was; don’t be left, don’t be right and don’t be long. In the case of the fourth hole; don’t be short either. 

Have a great day.

Cheers,

Dave Marriott

My husband, Doug Borgstrom, got a hole-in-one on hole #8 at Camrose Golf Course, Camrose, Alberta. He used a 7 iron. The date of the hole-in-one was July 23, 2022. He was golfing with Bob Coyle, Helen Coyle and Wendy Borgstrom. Fortunately, he was able to see the ball drop from where he stood on the tee box.  

Thank you,

Wendy Borgstrom, on behalf of Doug Borgstrom

Playing with my usual crew and the best caddie around, my service dog from Citadel Canine Society, Boomer. Shot was 148 yards to the pin from the blue tees and I used an 8 iron.

Thanks,

Gord Hay

I was playing with a friend, Tay. I also had my dog with me, and it was my birthday. I used a 9 iron from 149 yards (black tees-the tips at Goose Hummock). Nice draw into a tucked back left pin.

Thank you for your message regarding my hole-in-one at Barcovan G&CC. The pin was at the back of the par 3, 113-yard hole #2 (about 123 yards?). I hit a 7 iron. I was playing with my husband, JT Grossmith. We both now have two.

Saturday was an exciting day for sure.

Hole #17 at Whistlebear was playing 167 yards on Saturday and I used a 7 iron for my ace. I was playing in a member tournament and my partner was Chuck Meyers. The other two-person team in my foursome was Dave McKay and Mark Steenge. None of us saw the ball go in but when we arrived at the green, we noticed there were only three balls on the green. Since we knew my shot appeared to be the closest from back at the tee, the guys had me go to the green first and check the hole. Sure enough, there was my personalized Titleist #17 golf ball with “MIZE” on it at the bottom of the hole #17 cup. The celebration began. 17 was a lucky number on this day!

This was my second hole-in-one, with my previous ace coming on hole #8 at Whistle Bear in August 2019.

Thank you,

Golf course:

– Copetown Woods Golf Club, #4, Par 3

– Was playing 165 yards that day

– Used my 7 iron

Playing partners and witnesses that signed my scorecard:

– Anton Marcano – Golf Canada member

– Veber DeMelo – Golf Canada member

– Adam Lucia

Backstory:

– When I took the shot, it was tracking for the flag, landed just before the flag then disappeared. My friends and I have seen this all too many times before where you think the ball is close but are often deceived by elevations, slopes on the green, the sun in your eyes and distance. So, after shooting, I moved 10 yards to the left and said, I don’t see the ball – my one friend said, “I think it’s past the flag” – I then said, “got to be honest, I am getting excited”.

It’s my first hole-in-one! I’ve had many eagles before but never on a par 3 🙂

John

Thank you! 

Distance was 173 yards. Club was a 6 iron. Guys in my group were Tom Butcher, James Armstrong and Joe Armstrong.

Thanks again,

Jon Horbach 

The hole was 98 yards. The club was a 56-degree sand wedge. I hit the ball about 15 feet past and it spun back 15 feet to drop in the hole. Played with my wife, Dorothy, and friends, Shelley and Dave Fell. The ball on the ground was Shelley’s tee shot.

I achieved the ace on July 15, 2022. The yardage on the third hole was 84.

I used my TaylorMade 6 iron. We were playing a two man match play we were already down by two but this was for sure the turning point as we went on to win the next five holes and closed out our opponents on 16 to win the match.

Thank you for the hole-in-one graphic.

Made my first ever hole-in-one July 16th, 2022 from the blue tees on the 372 yard, par 4 8th hole at Muirfield Lakes Golf Club. My shot was witnesses by the four gentlemen putting on the green I rolled it into. Figured I was good to hit without risk of hitting anyone being that far back and it being straight away. I knew I hit a great drive, nice left to right high draw with a bit of wind at my back (obviously) and saw some arms go up after it landed and honestly thought they were upset that I rolled it up close to them. I didn’t know it went in at that point. It was only when I drove up to the green intending on apologizing for hitting it up to them that they told me with excitement that it was the greatest thing they’d ever seen…it rolling right in there. The one guy, Bob, said he had just finished making a 30-foot birdie putt and jokingly said I stole his thunder. Haha. My two playing partners, one of whom who works for the course, didn’t know it was in either as they teed it up from the whites. 

Gladly paid for beers after the round and got them to sign my card. 

Regards,

Mitch

It was a ping g410 6 iron. The 8th hole was playing 160 yards to a back left flag. It is all carry over a pond and waste area. Playing with my regular Friday group; Bill Cartwright, Doug Kester and Mike Ellam. My first ace at 74 years old.  Yes, I’m also still able to bend over and get the ball out of the cup. Doug went ahead of us (he had a cart) looked in the hole then off the green as if I’d missed just to fake me out. Great to have golf buddies, isn’t it?

Thank you so much for reaching out and acknowledging my hole-in-one.   

I was playing with two women from my Wednesday Business League. The hole in one came on the 8th hole. It was 113 yards with a slight breeze in our face. I used a Taylor Made M2 7 iron. One bounce and it went in the hole. I was as surprised as anyone. Yes, I did honour the tradition of buying beer for everyone in my league

Thanks again for reaching out.

Thanks for the congrats. Here’s the story:

A 132-yard par 3, elevated green. You can see the flag from the tee box, but not the hole because of the elevation of the green. I hit a 9 iron and landed my shot just short of the green. The ball one-hopped onto the green and disappeared from sight. I knew I was close so, when we got up to the green and couldn’t see my ball, I thought hmm. Looked in the hole and there it was! Amazing feeling!

It was Valley Ridge Ladies Night with a shotgun start. I was the first to lead off my group on our starting hole #7, and I sunk it. About 120 yards with an 8 iron.
