Occurred on August 19, 2022, at the Dantonia Park Golf Course. Hole number 7. Used a 56-degree wedge and a ball ProV1X.

Thanks,

I was playing with three other members of the senior club, Eddy Martin, John Hooker and Carl Thompson. This was my second hole-in-one, this one was much more satisfying as it was a par three, 164 yards. The club I used was a 3 wood. I am 81 years old, so this was very gratifying for me. The funny part of this is that nobody saw the ball go into the cup, as none of us could see that far. Once we got to the hole, we looked around for the ball and couldn’t find it. So, Eddy Martin had gone over to the cup and pointed down, and there it was. I had jumped up and down with joy and we had all gone a little bit nuts. It was something I will never forget. It meant free beer for everybody at the club.

Thanks to Golf Canada for acknowledging this accomplishment. 

On the next hole, I sank a 30-foot putt for a birdie.

Thanks,

August 18, 2022. Peasant Glen G.C. Qualicum Beach. Hole #8. 160 yards. 6 iron. Playing partners were Jim Raynard and Toby Lawrence.

Playing with Frank Marcheluzzo and Don Kaluza. 8 iron. 137 yards.

I am happy to share the good news. 

I was playing with Faye Minuk, Marya Grad and Judi Gottlieb. It was on Homenuik #9, about 115 yards, uphill. I used my 5 hybrid. I knew it was a good shot onto the green, but I did not see where it landed (mainly due to poor eyesight). When I got to the green, I did not see my ball. It was not on the green, not in a bunker, not on the fringe or anywhere nearby. I took a chance and checked the hole and found the ball!

I had my first hole-in-one in our club championship! On hole #4, 140 yards up hill. My playing partners were Sharon Marshall, Yvonne Chang and Sherry Camron.

It was one of the best days of my life!

Helen

Thank you. Second one of my life! Very exciting.

It was scored on the third hole at Glendale Golf and Country Club in Winnipeg.

The hole was playing approximately 125 yards and the pin placement was front of the green. I hit a pitching wedge right over top of the flag about 15’ past the pin and it rolled back down the slope and into the cup!

I was playing with three friends who are also members at Glendale; Doug Petersen, Bruce Rannard and Jamie McDonald.

Does Golf Canada still send out certificates for a hole in one? Pretty sure I got one for my first one in 2006.

Thanks,

Jerry

I was playing with two fellow members of the Millcroft Golf Club Senior Men’s League. It was a regular Monday morning game we thought was going to be rained out, but it turned out to be a great day. I was playing with Kirby Smith and Barry Markowsky. The hole measured 135 yards that day, and I used an 8 iron. Interestingly, I found the ball on the 13th hole, and put it in play on the 15th. Walking from the 14th green to the 15th tee, we were discussing holes-in-one. I’ve been waiting 60 years to get an “ace” and won’t soon forget it.

Many thanks for your interest, and thanks for the graphic you forwarded.  

Cheers,

Jim

Thank you so much for your email!

Last Thursday was a day I won’t soon forget. It was a special Ladies’ Day at our club as member, Wendy Hanson, arranged for a Golf Fore the Cure day. She reached out to Michael Murillo, the General Manager of Subaru of Mississauga, and a “win the car” hole was organized.

I was playing with great friends: Margaret Green, Lisa Trudell and Darlene Monkman all members at Glencairn.

Darlene hit first and I was next to go. It was hole #7, Scotch Block, the car was on the tee box and the Director of Golf, Mike Grierson, was also there.

The hole was a downhill par 3 and the pin measured at 155 yards. I used my 27 degree hybrid. The ball landed a few inches short of the green, hopped on and seemed to roll in slow motion towards the pin. We were watching it and getting more excited by the moment when all of a sudden it disappeared and that’s when the hugs, high fives and cheering drew notice from the other golfers. 

I was shaking. I couldn’t believe what had just happened! We got down to the hole to retrieve my ball, took some photos and tried to carry on with the remaining 11 holes the best I could.

I phoned my husband, who was golfing at Rattlesnake, to share the news with him and he was just as excited as I was.  It was our 15th wedding anniversary that day and it’s an anniversary to remember! We celebrated with a glass of wine that evening.

Funny story…we have a hole-in-one trophy in our house, and it travels in the family, by blood or marriage, to the person with the most recent hole-in-one. The first hole in engraved on it is from 1930. Most recently, my husband has had the trophy with three consecutive hole-in-ones beginning in July 2020 and I’ve finally been able to take it away from him. ?

It did feel like a very special gift to myself as it was three days before my 75th birthday.

I was playing with Linda Wilson and Anne Emerton. The yardage is 134 from the reds and I used a 7 iron. It is my fourth hole-in-one but my first at Duntroon Highlands. It’s interesting that a few days before on the same hole my shot hit the flag stick and sat about five inches away. I was lamenting the unfairness of this game.

A funny but frustrating shot on the same day was my drive on the 15th hole. It was wedged in branches of a cedar tree about eight feet up and Linda got a photo of that too. So, I went from elation to deflation. Such is golf.

Thanks for your interest.

Fifty years; yes 50 years – that I have been playing this glorious, frustrating, amazing game! Finally, on Friday, August 5, 2022, I got my first hole-in-one! It was on the 12^th hole, (my new favourite hole) at Cornwall Golf and Country Club, 190 yards with a 6 iron! We all saw the ball hit the green and roll – but weren’t sure if it went in. So, out came the range finders – two of the guys checked and said they didn’t see the ball on the green and said confidently, “it must be in the hole, no way it went over!” With me leading the walk onto the green and the lads about one step behind; we looked in the hole…and there it was in the bottom of the cup! Euphoria, a great big yell, chills down my spine, and a big smile on my face…what a feeling!

Wow and thanks. I was playing with my usual partners, Cindi and Gary; my wife was away. I used a #3 wood. The yardage on the score card says 166 yards, but it was less than that.

Thanks for the interest. 

The tournament was the Prince Albert Senior Northern, second day of a two event. Threesome; Glen Erickson from Medicine Hat and Barry M. from Saskatoon. His wife was caddying. 

The day before, on the same hole, it was the $10,000 hole-in- one hole. I played pretty well the same shot and lipped out. We thought it had gone in because it was behind the pin and hard to see. The spotter told us it lipped out. Of course, no money the next day when I did ace it.

About 138 yards, into a wind, used a TaylorMade 6 hybrid.  I got a hole-in-one in the same tournament in 2021 on a different hole. 

Take care. 

In regard to the details of my hole-in-one, I was playing with my friend I play with almost every round and one other person we were matched up with. The yardage was 175 with the wind at my back. I used an 8 iron and dunked it straight in the hole.

On August 1, 2022, I was playing on the final day of our Club Championships at my home course of Priddis Greens (Hawk course). Hole #9 was playing 195 yards downhill into a bit of a fan. Hit a good 6 iron into a back right pin and my playing partner, Boyd Hall, also hit a decent shot, but neither of us saw either ball land due to the glare of the sun off the surface of the green.

Boyd was driving a cart and I was walking, so he got down to the green well before I did. On my walk to the green, I could see Boyd’s about 20 feet left of the hole, but still couldn’t see mine. My ball mark was about six feet in front of the hole, and Boyd told me to look in the hole to find my ball. Whoot! Ace!

Fun fact, my last ace prior to this one was also during our Club Championships and was on the very same day, August 1st, 2021, exactly one year earlier.

Tom MacLeod

It was on hole #15 at Inglewood in Calgary. It was a beauty of a 5 iron at 177 yards. I was golfing with a couple members and a teacher who taught in Morley. I’m the one with the glove on and it was my second one at this course!

Occurred on August 19, 2022, at the Dantonia Park Golf Course. Hole number 7. Used a 56-degree wedge and a ball ProV1X.

I used my 3 wood on hole #8 at Ridgetown Golf and Curling Club while golfing with Catherine Chavis on a quiet mid-morning Monday during the height of the pandemic. 

If you are familiar with our course, you know our greens are very small. We call them postage stamps!

Hole 8 is a 162-yard par 3. 

Bob Moore, a member of our grounds crew was cutting grass near the green at the time. He got off his mower to walk over to the cup and confirmed the hole-in-one as Catherine and I walked onto the green. 

I’m not sure who was more excited!

This was my one and only hole-in-one after playing golf for over 50 years!

Hole #2, blue tees at Inglewood Golf Club. Used a pitching wedge from 147 yards. My first hole-in-one. Playing with wife and her mother. Neat side note, my wife had a hole-in-one the day before at D’Arcy Ranch, her second.

I scored a hole-in-one on Monday, August 1st, at Roundel Glen Golf Club in Astra, Ontario, using a gap wedge on the first hole. The pin was cut on the front of the green, about 110 yards, one bounce with a short roll and it was in the cup. It was witnessed by Al McLellan and Ritson Linear.

Roger Prudhomme

Hey Golf Canada,

Thanks so much for reaching out about my hole-in-one. I’m an 11-year-old junior golfer at Scarboro. I absolutely love golf and was pretty excited to get a hole-in-one at my home course. My first! It happened July 31^st on the second hole. Red tees. 130 yards. I hit a 7iron. I was playing with my 8-year-old brother, Harrison, my dad, Steve, and his girlfriend, Kim.

By the way, my brother got his own hole-in-one back on January 19 in Florida at the Caloosa Golf & Country Club. 4^th hole. 126 yards. 7 iron!

Thanks again!

Thomson Doucet

The distance was 133 yards. I used my 6 iron from the white tee box. My shot looked short when I hit it, however it bounced just over the last bunker on the right and kicked forward toward the pin. It then grassed the pin and continued past the hole and up slope heading for the third tier. The ball stopped near the top of the slope and rolled back into the hole. It was a lucky shot and was witnessed by two golfers ahead of my threesome. I was paired with a couple I met at the course, Wendy and Bob.

I received a flag from the pro shop, and they took a photo. My first hole-in-one and I’ve been golfing for over 40 years Woohoo! ?

Cheers,

Yvon Legault

Thanks for the note. I was playing with one of my usual playing partners and fellow member, Conrad Hansuld. We were playing hole number 3 at Sleepy Hollow from the back tees. The pin was front left. I gunned the flag at 176 yards, but we were hitting dead into the wind. I took a 6 iron and hit a soft draw that landed a few feet short of the hole. It took one hop, then rolled into the cup.

I have been playing for decades and have come close many times, but this was my first hole-in-one. It was quite a rush! 

Occurred on August 19, 2022, at the Dantonia Park Golf Course. Hole number 7. Used a 56-degree wedge and a ball ProV1X.

Thanks,

Anisur

I was playing with three other members of the senior club, Eddy Martin, John Hooker and Carl Thompson. This was my second hole-in-one, this one was much more satisfying as it was a par three, 164 yards. The club I used was a 3 wood. I am 81 years old, so this was very gratifying for me. The funny part of this is that nobody saw the ball go into the cup, as none of us could see that far. Once we got to the hole, we looked around for the ball and couldn’t find it. So, Eddy Martin had gone over to the cup and pointed down, and there it was. I had jumped up and down with joy and we had all gone a little bit nuts. It was something I will never forget. It meant free beer for everybody at the club.

Thanks to Golf Canada for acknowledging this accomplishment. 

On the next hole, I sank a 30-foot putt for a birdie.

August 18, 2022. Peasant Glen G.C. Qualicum Beach. Hole #8. 160 yards. 6 iron. Playing partners were Jim Raynard and Toby Lawrence.

Playing with Frank Marcheluzzo and Don Kaluza. 8 iron. 137 yards.

I am happy to share the good news. 

I was playing with Faye Minuk, Marya Grad and Judi Gottlieb. It was on Homenuik #9, about 115 yards, uphill. I used my 5 hybrid. I knew it was a good shot onto the green, but I did not see where it landed (mainly due to poor eyesight). When I got to the green, I did not see my ball. It was not on the green, not in a bunker, not on the fringe or anywhere nearby. I took a chance and checked the hole and found the ball!

I had my first hole-in-one in our club championship! On hole #4, 140 yards up hill. My playing partners were Sharon Marshall, Yvonne Chang and Sherry Camron.

It was one of the best days of my life!

Helen

Thank you. Second one of my life! Very exciting.

It was scored on the third hole at Glendale Golf and Country Club in Winnipeg.

The hole was playing approximately 125 yards and the pin placement was front of the green. I hit a pitching wedge right over top of the flag about 15’ past the pin and it rolled back down the slope and into the cup!

I was playing with three friends who are also members at Glendale; Doug Petersen, Bruce Rannard and Jamie McDonald.

Does Golf Canada still send out certificates for a hole in one? Pretty sure I got one for my first one in 2006.

Thanks,

Jerry

I was playing with two fellow members of the Millcroft Golf Club Senior Men’s League. It was a regular Monday morning game we thought was going to be rained out, but it turned out to be a great day. I was playing with Kirby Smith and Barry Markowsky. The hole measured 135 yards that day, and I used an 8 iron. Interestingly, I found the ball on the 13th hole, and put it in play on the 15th. Walking from the 14th green to the 15th tee, we were discussing holes-in-one. I’ve been waiting 60 years to get an “ace” and won’t soon forget it.

Many thanks for your interest, and thanks for the graphic you forwarded.

Thank you so much for your email!

Last Thursday was a day I won’t soon forget. It was a special Ladies’ Day at our club as member, Wendy Hanson, arranged for a Golf Fore the Cure day. She reached out to Michael Murillo, the General Manager of Subaru of Mississauga, and a “win the car” hole was organized.

I was playing with great friends: Margaret Green, Lisa Trudell and Darlene Monkman all members at Glencairn.

Darlene hit first and I was next to go. It was hole #7, Scotch Block, the car was on the tee box and the Director of Golf, Mike Grierson, was also there.

The hole was a downhill par 3 and the pin measured at 155 yards. I used my 27 degree hybrid. The ball landed a few inches short of the green, hopped on and seemed to roll in slow motion towards the pin. We were watching it and getting more excited by the moment when all of a sudden it disappeared and that’s when the hugs, high fives and cheering drew notice from the other golfers. 

I was shaking. I couldn’t believe what had just happened! We got down to the hole to retrieve my ball, took some photos and tried to carry on with the remaining 11 holes the best I could.

I phoned my husband, who was golfing at Rattlesnake, to share the news with him and he was just as excited as I was.  It was our 15th wedding anniversary that day and it’s an anniversary to remember! We celebrated with a glass of wine that evening.

Funny story…we have a hole-in-one trophy in our house, and it travels in the family, by blood or marriage, to the person with the most recent hole-in-one. The first hole in engraved on it is from 1930. Most recently, my husband has had the trophy with three consecutive hole-in-ones beginning in July 2020 and I’ve finally been able to take it away from him. ?

It did feel like a very special gift to myself as it was three days before my 75th birthday.

I was playing with Linda Wilson and Anne Emerton. The yardage is 134 from the reds and I used a 7 iron. It is my fourth hole-in-one but my first at Duntroon Highlands. It’s interesting that a few days before on the same hole my shot hit the flag stick and sat about five inches away. I was lamenting the unfairness of this game.

A funny but frustrating shot on the same day was my drive on the 15th hole. It was wedged in branches of a cedar tree about eight feet up and Linda got a photo of that too. So, I went from elation to deflation. Such is golf.

Thanks for your interest.

Fifty years; yes 50 years – that I have been playing this glorious, frustrating, amazing game! Finally, on Friday, August 5, 2022, I got my first hole-in-one! It was on the 12^th hole, (my new favourite hole) at Cornwall Golf and Country Club, 190 yards with a 6 iron! We all saw the ball hit the green and roll – but weren’t sure if it went in. So, out came the range finders – two of the guys checked and said they didn’t see the ball on the green and said confidently, “it must be in the hole, no way it went over!” With me leading the walk onto the green and the lads about one step behind; we looked in the hole…and there it was in the bottom of the cup! Euphoria, a great big yell, chills down my spine, and a big smile on my face…what a feeling!

Wow and thanks. I was playing with my usual partners, Cindi and Gary; my wife was away. I used a #3 wood. The yardage on the score card says 166 yards, but it was less than that.

Thanks for the interest. 

The tournament was the Prince Albert Senior Northern, second day of a two event. Threesome; Glen Erickson from Medicine Hat and Barry M. from Saskatoon. His wife was caddying. 

The day before, on the same hole, it was the $10,000 hole-in- one hole. I played pretty well the same shot and lipped out. We thought it had gone in because it was behind the pin and hard to see. The spotter told us it lipped out. Of course, no money the next day when I did ace it.

About 138 yards, into a wind, used a TaylorMade 6 hybrid.  I got a hole-in-one in the same tournament in 2021 on a different hole. 

Take care. 

In regard to the details of my hole-in-one, I was playing with my friend I play with almost every round and one other person we were matched up with. The yardage was 175 with the wind at my back. I used an 8 iron and dunked it straight in the hole.

On August 1, 2022, I was playing on the final day of our Club Championships at my home course of Priddis Greens (Hawk course). Hole #9 was playing 195 yards downhill into a bit of a fan. Hit a good 6 iron into a back right pin and my playing partner, Boyd Hall, also hit a decent shot, but neither of us saw either ball land due to the glare of the sun off the surface of the green.

Boyd was driving a cart and I was walking, so he got down to the green well before I did. On my walk to the green, I could see Boyd’s about 20 feet left of the hole, but still couldn’t see mine. My ball mark was about six feet in front of the hole, and Boyd told me to look in the hole to find my ball. Whoot! Ace!

Fun fact, my last ace prior to this one was also during our Club Championships and was on the very same day, August 1st, 2021, exactly one year earlier.

I used my 3 wood on hole #8 at Ridgetown Golf and Curling Club while golfing with Catherine Chavis on a quiet mid-morning Monday during the height of the pandemic. 

If you are familiar with our course, you know our greens are very small. We call them postage stamps!

Hole 8 is a 162-yard par 3. 

Bob Moore, a member of our grounds crew was cutting grass near the green at the time. He got off his mower to walk over to the cup and confirmed the hole-in-one as Catherine and I walked onto the green. 

I’m not sure who was more excited!

This was my one and only hole-in-one after playing golf for over 50 years!

Cheers,

Vicki Gough

Hole #2, blue tees at Inglewood Golf Club. Used a pitching wedge from 147 yards. My first hole-in-one. Playing with wife and her mother. Neat side note, my wife had a hole-in-one the day before at D’Arcy Ranch, her second.

Thanks for the note. I was playing with one of my usual playing partners and fellow member, Conrad Hansuld. We were playing hole number 3 at Sleepy Hollow from the back tees. The pin was front left. I gunned the flag at 176 yards, but we were hitting dead into the wind. I took a 6 iron and hit a soft draw that landed a few feet short of the hole. It took one hop, then rolled into the cup.

I have been playing for decades and have come close many times, but this was my first hole-in-one. It was quite a rush! 

Occurred on August 19, 2022, at the Dantonia Park Golf Course. Hole number 7. Used a 56-degree wedge and a ball ProV1X.

Thanks,

I was playing with three other members of the senior club, Eddy Martin, John Hooker and Carl Thompson. This was my second hole-in-one, this one was much more satisfying as it was a par three, 164 yards. The club I used was a 3 wood. I am 81 years old, so this was very gratifying for me. The funny part of this is that nobody saw the ball go into the cup, as none of us could see that far. Once we got to the hole, we looked around for the ball and couldn’t find it. So, Eddy Martin had gone over to the cup and pointed down, and there it was. I had jumped up and down with joy and we had all gone a little bit nuts. It was something I will never forget. It meant free beer for everybody at the club.

Thanks to Golf Canada for acknowledging this accomplishment. 

On the next hole, I sank a 30-foot putt for a birdie.

Thanks,

Good day, 

Thank you for reaching out, the hole-in-one was quite the experience. 

I was with Miguel Laurin, Phillipe Drouin, and Gabriel Laurin. We were playing golf for my bachelor party. 

Just before the golf shot, I remember saying “somebody should film our par 3’s in case someone gets a hole-in-one” but unfortunately, we did not film the shot. 

The par 3 was hole #6 and I was playing from the white markers. The yardage was approximately 130 yards, and I used my pitching wedge. My golf ball went passed the pin and then back spined into the hole. 

Thank you,

Vincent West

It was just another beautiful day at the club. It was on the 10^th hole. 179 yards to the hole. Took my 5 iron out and took a nice easy swing, ball hitting the sweet spot on the iron. From there it was history. I believe Loris mentioned to the group to watch the ball, which rolled past the flag and started to roll back. 

Phil Kavanagh and the staff were wonderful and made me feel like a star!

Once again, thank you for reaching out.

I was playing with three other members of the senior club, Eddy Martin, John Hooker and Carl Thompson. This was my second hole-in-one, this one was much more satisfying as it was a par three, 164 yards. The club I used was a 3 wood. I am 81 years old, so this was very gratifying for me. The funny part of this is that nobody saw the ball go into the cup, as none of us could see that far. Once we got to the hole, we looked around for the ball and couldn’t find it. So, Eddy Martin had gone over to the cup and pointed down, and there it was. I had jumped up and down with joy and we had all gone a little bit nuts. It was something I will never forget. It meant free beer for everybody at the club.

Thanks to Golf Canada for acknowledging this accomplishment. 

On the next hole, I sank a 30-foot putt for a birdie.

August 18, 2022. Peasant Glen G.C. Qualicum Beach. Hole #8. 160 yards. 6 iron. Playing partners were Jim Raynard and Toby Lawrence.

Playing with Frank Marcheluzzo and Don Kaluza. 8 iron. 137 yards.

I am happy to share the good news. 

I was playing with Faye Minuk, Marya Grad and Judi Gottlieb. It was on Homenuik #9, about 115 yards, uphill. I used my 5 hybrid. I knew it was a good shot onto the green, but I did not see where it landed (mainly due to poor eyesight). When I got to the green, I did not see my ball. It was not on the green, not in a bunker, not on the fringe or anywhere nearby. I took a chance and checked the hole and found the ball!

I had my first hole-in-one in our club championship! On hole #4, 140 yards up hill. My playing partners were Sharon Marshall, Yvonne Chang and Sherry Camron.

It was one of the best days of my life!

Helen

Thank you. Second one of my life! Very exciting.

It was scored on the third hole at Glendale Golf and Country Club in Winnipeg.

The hole was playing approximately 125 yards and the pin placement was front of the green. I hit a pitching wedge right over top of the flag about 15’ past the pin and it rolled back down the slope and into the cup!

I was playing with three friends who are also members at Glendale; Doug Petersen, Bruce Rannard and Jamie McDonald.

Does Golf Canada still send out certificates for a hole in one? Pretty sure I got one for my first one in 2006.

Thanks,

Jerry

I was playing with two fellow members of the Millcroft Golf Club Senior Men’s League. It was a regular Monday morning game we thought was going to be rained out, but it turned out to be a great day. I was playing with Kirby Smith and Barry Markowsky. The hole measured 135 yards that day, and I used an 8 iron. Interestingly, I found the ball on the 13th hole, and put it in play on the 15th. Walking from the 14th green to the 15th tee, we were discussing holes-in-one. I’ve been waiting 60 years to get an “ace” and won’t soon forget it.

Many thanks for your interest, and thanks for the graphic you forwarded.

Thank you so much for your email!

Last Thursday was a day I won’t soon forget. It was a special Ladies’ Day at our club as member, Wendy Hanson, arranged for a Golf Fore the Cure day. She reached out to Michael Murillo, the General Manager of Subaru of Mississauga, and a “win the car” hole was organized.

I was playing with great friends: Margaret Green, Lisa Trudell and Darlene Monkman all members at Glencairn.

Darlene hit first and I was next to go. It was hole #7, Scotch Block, the car was on the tee box and the Director of Golf, Mike Grierson, was also there.

The hole was a downhill par 3 and the pin measured at 155 yards. I used my 27 degree hybrid. The ball landed a few inches short of the green, hopped on and seemed to roll in slow motion towards the pin. We were watching it and getting more excited by the moment when all of a sudden it disappeared and that’s when the hugs, high fives and cheering drew notice from the other golfers. 

I was shaking. I couldn’t believe what had just happened! We got down to the hole to retrieve my ball, took some photos and tried to carry on with the remaining 11 holes the best I could.

I phoned my husband, who was golfing at Rattlesnake, to share the news with him and he was just as excited as I was.  It was our 15th wedding anniversary that day and it’s an anniversary to remember! We celebrated with a glass of wine that evening.

Funny story…we have a hole-in-one trophy in our house, and it travels in the family, by blood or marriage, to the person with the most recent hole-in-one. The first hole in engraved on it is from 1930. Most recently, my husband has had the trophy with three consecutive hole-in-ones beginning in July 2020 and I’ve finally been able to take it away from him. ?

Fifty years; yes 50 years – that I have been playing this glorious, frustrating, amazing game! Finally, on Friday, August 5, 2022, I got my first hole-in-one! It was on the 12^th hole, (my new favourite hole) at Cornwall Golf and Country Club, 190 yards with a 6 iron! We all saw the ball hit the green and roll – but weren’t sure if it went in. So, out came the range finders – two of the guys checked and said they didn’t see the ball on the green and said confidently, “it must be in the hole, no way it went over!” With me leading the walk onto the green and the lads about one step behind; we looked in the hole…and there it was in the bottom of the cup! Euphoria, a great big yell, chills down my spine, and a big smile on my face…what a feeling!

Wow and thanks. I was playing with my usual partners, Cindi and Gary; my wife was away. I used a #3 wood. The yardage on the score card says 166 yards, but it was less than that.

Thanks for the interest. 

The tournament was the Prince Albert Senior Northern, second day of a two event. Threesome; Glen Erickson from Medicine Hat and Barry M. from Saskatoon. His wife was caddying. 

The day before, on the same hole, it was the $10,000 hole-in- one hole. I played pretty well the same shot and lipped out. We thought it had gone in because it was behind the pin and hard to see. The spotter told us it lipped out. Of course, no money the next day when I did ace it.

About 138 yards, into a wind, used a TaylorMade 6 hybrid.  I got a hole-in-one in the same tournament in 2021 on a different hole. 

Take care. 

In regard to the details of my hole-in-one, I was playing with my friend I play with almost every round and one other person we were matched up with. The yardage was 175 with the wind at my back. I used an 8 iron and dunked it straight in the hole.

On August 1, 2022, I was playing on the final day of our Club Championships at my home course of Priddis Greens (Hawk course). Hole #9 was playing 195 yards downhill into a bit of a fan. Hit a good 6 iron into a back right pin and my playing partner, Boyd Hall, also hit a decent shot, but neither of us saw either ball land due to the glare of the sun off the surface of the green.

Boyd was driving a cart and I was walking, so he got down to the green well before I did. On my walk to the green, I could see Boyd’s about 20 feet left of the hole, but still couldn’t see mine. My ball mark was about six feet in front of the hole, and Boyd told me to look in the hole to find my ball. Whoot! Ace!

Fun fact, my last ace prior to this one was also during our Club Championships and was on the very same day, August 1st, 2021, exactly one year earlier.

I used my 3 wood on hole #8 at Ridgetown Golf and Curling Club while golfing with Catherine Chavis on a quiet mid-morning Monday during the height of the pandemic. 

If you are familiar with our course, you know our greens are very small. We call them postage stamps!

Hole 8 is a 162-yard par 3. 

Bob Moore, a member of our grounds crew was cutting grass near the green at the time. He got off his mower to walk over to the cup and confirmed the hole-in-one as Catherine and I walked onto the green. 

I’m not sure who was more excited!

This was my one and only hole-in-one after playing golf for over 50 years!

Cheers,

Vicki Gough

Hole #2, blue tees at Inglewood Golf Club. Used a pitching wedge from 147 yards. My first hole-in-one. Playing with wife and her mother. Neat side note, my wife had a hole-in-one the day before at D’Arcy Ranch, her second.

Good day, 

Thank you for reaching out, the hole-in-one was quite the experience. 

I was with Miguel Laurin, Phillipe Drouin, and Gabriel Laurin. We were playing golf for my bachelor party. 

Just before the golf shot, I remember saying “somebody should film our par 3’s in case someone gets a hole-in-one” but unfortunately, we did not film the shot. 

The par 3 was hole #6 and I was playing from the white markers. The yardage was approximately 130 yards, and I used my pitching wedge. My golf ball went passed the pin and then back spined into the hole. 

Thank you,

Vincent West

It was just another beautiful day at the club. It was on the 10^th hole. 179 yards to the hole. Took my 5 iron out and took a nice easy swing, ball hitting the sweet spot on the iron. From there it was history. I believe Loris mentioned to the group to watch the ball, which rolled past the flag and started to roll back. 

Phil Kavanagh and the staff were wonderful and made me feel like a star!

Once again, thank you for reaching out. 

Yuri Mykolyk

Thank you for your e-mail.

I’ve been sort of golfing for about 20 years and became a member at Shannon Lake Golf Club in 2021. I turned 78 on July 11, 2022 and am trying to become a better golfer as I really enjoy golfing with a group called “The Loonies” on Mondays and Fridays.

The hole-in-one came after a rough front nine and was from the blue tees as we were playing Blue/White tees that day. I used my Taylormade rescue 6 from approximately 158 yards and my ball landed 3 feet from the front of the green and rolled in.

Chris Young, Dave Clare, Dave Munroe and I were in the foursome.

Thank you,

Steve Kinsey

Thanks for the note. I was playing with one of my usual playing partners and fellow member, Conrad Hansuld. We were playing hole number 3 at Sleepy Hollow from the back tees. The pin was front left. I gunned the flag at 176 yards, but we were hitting dead into the wind. I took a 6 iron and hit a soft draw that landed a few feet short of the hole. It took one hop, then rolled into the cup.

I have been playing for decades and have come close many times, but this was my first hole-in-one. It was quite a rush! 

Occurred on August 19, 2022, at the Dantonia Park Golf Course. Hole number 7. Used a 56-degree wedge and a ball ProV1X.

It did feel like a very special gift to myself as it was three days before my 75th birthday.

I was playing with Linda Wilson and Anne Emerton. The yardage is 134 from the reds and I used a 7 iron. It is my fourth hole-in-one but my first at Duntroon Highlands. It’s interesting that a few days before on the same hole my shot hit the flag stick and sat about five inches away. I was lamenting the unfairness of this game.

A funny but frustrating shot on the same day was my drive on the 15th hole. It was wedged in branches of a cedar tree about eight feet up and Linda got a photo of that too. So, I went from elation to deflation. Such is golf.

Thanks for your interest.

This was my second career ace and much nicer than the first some 25 years ago which was a topped shot that bounced and rolled some 150 yards into the hole.

This one was on the 138 yard 7th at Braeben with a pitching wedge. The swing felt great, and the ball went high and never left the pin, bounced once and disappeared. 

I was with my friends Wally, Dominic, and Phil.

Thanks,

Tom

Thank you for your interest in my recent hole-in-one. Number 13 hole at Equinelle was playing about 165 yards that day. I used a four hybrid. It was somewhat anticlimactic as my partners and I did not see the ball roll in. We knew it was on a good line but lost sight of it coming down and on the green. I thought it had rolled through the green so that is where we looked for the ball. Eventually, we walked back to the hole and discovered it there! I was playing with other Equinelle members, Hugh Craig, Howard Spaulding and Erin Coyne.

That was my third hole-in-one. The previous two, also at Equinelle, were on number 16.

Again, thanks for your interest.

Best regards,

Victor

4^th hole. Two older gentlemen (don’t know their names). 170 yards. 3 wood.

Thank you for this opportunity to showcase my ace.

It was our Thursday Seniors Golf and as noted, it was on the 12th hole of our Mission Golf and Country Club. We are playing a temporary green for the 12th as our signature 12th was damaged in the November rain storms. The hole was playing 102 yards uphill. I used a 54-degree gap wedge. The ball landed within a yard of the pin, one hop into the hole.

Of my three aces, this is the first one I have witnessed.  The beer drinking members were happier than I.  All in all, it was a memorable shot.

Editor’s Note: Our very own Golf Canada staff member, Mary Beth McKenna, achieved an ace at the Westmount Golf and Country Club. This is her second hole-in-one!

It was at the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship Media Day, so it was quite an event to get the hole-in-one. It was at Westmount Golf & Country Club on Hole #3 from 179 yards and I hit a 4 iron. I was playing with a few members of the media (Brady Kingsbury and Gary McKay) and the host club exemption from Westmount (Angella Lee). Hole #3 is right beside the clubhouse so there was lots of excitement!

Thanks for the note. I was playing with one of my usual playing partners and fellow member, Conrad Hansuld. We were playing hole number 3 at Sleepy Hollow from the back tees. The pin was front left. I gunned the flag at 176 yards, but we were hitting dead into the wind. I took a 6 iron and hit a soft draw that landed a few feet short of the hole. It took one hop, then rolled into the cup.

I have been playing for decades and have come close many times, but this was my first hole-in-one. It was quite a rush! 

Occurred on August 19, 2022, at the Dantonia Park Golf Course. Hole number 7. Used a 56-degree wedge and a ball ProV1X.

I was playing with three other members of the senior club, Eddy Martin, John Hooker and Carl Thompson. This was my second hole-in-one, this one was much more satisfying as it was a par three, 164 yards. The club I used was a 3 wood. I am 81 years old, so this was very gratifying for me. The funny part of this is that nobody saw the ball go into the cup, as none of us could see that far. Once we got to the hole, we looked around for the ball and couldn’t find it. So, Eddy Martin had gone over to the cup and pointed down, and there it was. I had jumped up and down with joy and we had all gone a little bit nuts. It was something I will never forget. It meant free beer for everybody at the club.

Thanks to Golf Canada for acknowledging this accomplishment. 

On the next hole, I sank a 30-foot putt for a birdie.

August 18, 2022. Peasant Glen G.C. Qualicum Beach. Hole #8. 160 yards. 6 iron. Playing partners were Jim Raynard and Toby Lawrence.

Playing with Frank Marcheluzzo and Don Kaluza. 8 iron. 137 yards.

I am happy to share the good news. 

I was playing with Faye Minuk, Marya Grad and Judi Gottlieb. It was on Homenuik #9, about 115 yards, uphill. I used my 5 hybrid. I knew it was a good shot onto the green, but I did not see where it landed (mainly due to poor eyesight). When I got to the green, I did not see my ball. It was not on the green, not in a bunker, not on the fringe or anywhere nearby. I took a chance and checked the hole and found the ball!

Thank you. Second one of my life! Very exciting.

It was scored on the third hole at Glendale Golf and Country Club in Winnipeg.

The hole was playing approximately 125 yards and the pin placement was front of the green. I hit a pitching wedge right over top of the flag about 15’ past the pin and it rolled back down the slope and into the cup!

I was playing with three friends who are also members at Glendale; Doug Petersen, Bruce Rannard and Jamie McDonald.

Does Golf Canada still send out certificates for a hole in one? Pretty sure I got one for my first one in 2006.

Thanks,

Jerry

I was playing with two fellow members of the Millcroft Golf Club Senior Men’s League. It was a regular Monday morning game we thought was going to be rained out, but it turned out to be a great day. I was playing with Kirby Smith and Barry Markowsky. The hole measured 135 yards that day, and I used an 8 iron. Interestingly, I found the ball on the 13th hole, and put it in play on the 15th. Walking from the 14th green to the 15th tee, we were discussing holes-in-one. I’ve been waiting 60 years to get an “ace” and won’t soon forget it.

Many thanks for your interest, and thanks for the graphic you forwarded.  

Cheers,

Jim

Thank you so much for your email!

Last Thursday was a day I won’t soon forget. It was a special Ladies’ Day at our club as member, Wendy Hanson, arranged for a Golf Fore the Cure day. She reached out to Michael Murillo, the General Manager of Subaru of Mississauga, and a “win the car” hole was organized.

I was playing with great friends: Margaret Green, Lisa Trudell and Darlene Monkman all members at Glencairn.

Darlene hit first and I was next to go. It was hole #7, Scotch Block, the car was on the tee box and the Director of Golf, Mike Grierson, was also there.

The hole was a downhill par 3 and the pin measured at 155 yards. I used my 27 degree hybrid. The ball landed a few inches short of the green, hopped on and seemed to roll in slow motion towards the pin. We were watching it and getting more excited by the moment when all of a sudden it disappeared and that’s when the hugs, high fives and cheering drew notice from the other golfers. 

I was shaking. I couldn’t believe what had just happened! We got down to the hole to retrieve my ball, took some photos and tried to carry on with the remaining 11 holes the best I could.

I phoned my husband, who was golfing at Rattlesnake, to share the news with him and he was just as excited as I was.  It was our 15th wedding anniversary that day and it’s an anniversary to remember! We celebrated with a glass of wine that evening.

Funny story…we have a hole-in-one trophy in our house, and it travels in the family, by blood or marriage, to the person with the most recent hole-in-one. The first hole in engraved on it is from 1930. Most recently, my husband has had the trophy with three consecutive hole-in-ones beginning in July 2020 and I’ve finally been able to take it away from him. ?
