Hole in one first time in my life

Junghoon L — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 18:21:43 GMT

This is Oak Hills Golf Club, located in Columbia, South Carolina. April 19, 2026. A sunny day with the sun peeking through the clouds and a gentle breeze. My first-ever hole-in-one came on the 7th hole, a par-3 at 165 yards. The 7th hole features the most beautiful scenery on this golf course, situated alongside a large lake. I used a 5-iron to cut across the lake, tracing a beautiful curve as I landed the ball on the green. After two or three bounces, the ball rolled forward, and my heart raced as I watched it sink precisely into the hole, just as if I had putted it. I stepped onto the green, lifted the ball from the hole, and let out a cheer. I still can't believe it.

First hole in one

51bed8d515 — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 23:40:21 GMT

Playing today with 4 good friends at Thunderhawk Golf Course in Beach Park, IL. We were on hole 13 which was playing 189 from the gold tees. I was the last to hit. I was going to hit a five iron but since everyone came up short, I changed clubs last minute to a 4 hybrid. I hit the ball and it look and felt good but thought nothing of making a hole in one. As the ball landed my friends screamed in it in the hole. I did not believe it until we walked up to see it in the hole. It sunk in when I saw it in the hole. I never thought I would ever get a hole in one.

Oulton Hall - Hole 2 - Par 3

Josh G — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 18:43:27 GMT

Recently partnered with Titleist on a YouTube series where I first hit a 350 yard drive with the GT2. I was then fitted for my T150's at Woburn for a Break80 series & during my practice rounds today I punched my 8 iron under the wind and tree 115 yards for a hole in one. What an experience! Of course, with a ProV1.

Hole in One, Hole 7, 121 Yards at Top of the Rock

KScharbrough — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 05:31:53 GMT

After work one day, I played Top of the Rock with my cousin. I got to hole 7 it was 149 yards to the back and the pin was sort of in the middle. There’s a hill in this green that goes down towards the tee’s I hit the ridge and it rolled down into the cup!!! Super Sureal, I ran from the tee too the hole yelling and celebrating! My cousin isn’t a golfer so he had no idea what was happening but he soon caught on. Super Sureal. I was not as good of a golfer as I am now either so it came as a suprise! And on my way home, my tattoo artists gave me a discount on my upcoming appointment, in all just a great day!

First Hole-in-one!

Dunnington — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 03:15:46 GMT

Got my first hole-in-one today. It was an absolute marshmallow off the face of my T250 9 iron, and the Pro V1 spun beautifully right into the hole. Elated, to say the least!

I also had a virtual golf ball consultation with Titleist today that was phenomenal. I’ve played the AVX for the past year but needed more spin into the greens. After reviewing all my numbers, he put me into the Pro V1, and wow, it delivered.

What a day!

Hole in One

Matthew M — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:07:04 GMT

It was the first day of golf league. The weather conditions were not favorable. It was rainy with gusty winds. After a rough start on first 3 holes. I teed up on the 13th hole at Grand Ledge Country Club. An uphill par 3 with an elevated green with the pin at 148 yards. Made a nice smooth swing and caught it pure. Ball bounced once at front of green and disappeared from view due to elevation. I knew it should be good but rode up to the green to see no ball where I though it should be. My partner checked the hole and there it was. My first hole in one.

My First Hole-in-One with a Titleist Pro V1

Carlos — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:42:48 GMT

On a beautiful Thursday afternoon after work, I played the front nine at Rockledge Golf Club in West Hartford, Connecticut with a business colleague, Greg.

We got to Hole #8, a 184-yard shot over water to a green sitting up on a hill. The pin was tucked in the front left corner, and I pulled a 5 iron and teed up my Titleist Pro V1. I hit what felt like a great shot. From our view, we saw it bounce once on the green before it disappeared, but because of the angle and elevation, we had no idea where it finished.

When we got up to the green, I didn’t see my ball anywhere. I grabbed my wedge and putter and started walking the back edge of the green, thinking it may have rolled off or settled somewhere out of sight.

Little did I know.

Thankfully, Greg was thoughtful enough to check the cup first. He saw my Titleist Pro V1 sitting at the bottom, marked with the obnoxious blue mark I’m known for — the same mark I often get comments about when I play. Instead of saying anything right away, he walked back to the cart, grabbed his phone, and recorded the moment I found out my ball was in the cup.

It was my first hole-in-one, and I’ll never forget it: Rockledge Golf Club, Hole #8, 184 yards, 5 iron, Titleist Pro V1, on Thursday, April 16, 2026. A perfect shot, a great surprise, and an even better memory.

My second HiOne, an incredible coincidence!

Saulo B — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 14:50:07 GMT

Ordinary autunm sunny Sunday morning, with my friends, #17 hole, 125y, the wind blowing against my Prov1, I hit a punch with my 7 iron. The ball touched the pin and disappeared in the hole. It was my second HiO, and the most incredible coincidence, it happened in the same day (4/26), but 11 years after the first in 2015!

First Hole-In-One

BCrist — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 14:13:58 GMT

I am a retired NAIA golfer that played five years at the University of Pikeville. I was playing in the shootout at our local club. I had been playing ok for the day until I lost a ball on hole 7 and ending up making double. I knew I was out of having any chance of the money. In frustration I tossed my ball on the tee on the short par 3 8th that normally plays about 130 yards. I always hit a pitching wedge on that hole. I took zero practice swings and just hit the ball out of frustration. I hit it ok but it never left the flag stick. As the ball was landing there was a loud thump sound. The greens were a little soft so I assumed that I flew it long and it plugged on the back fringe. One of my playing partners started saying that he thinks it was in the hole. There is a running fountain directly in front of the green in the pond so it was difficult to see where my ball had landed. As we walked to the green you could see the top half of the ball inside the cup against the flag stick. I immediately ran back to the cart and grabbed my phone, took a video of whole thing, I hit the flag stick and the ball fell to the bottom of the cup so it wasn't plugged in the lip or anything of that nature. I then began calling all my old teammates and friends about it. I ended up making a some money off that shot. So far it is my only one, and hoping that it isn't my last.

Side story: I am now an assistant coach at UPIKE, and I got to watch my younger brother make his first hole in one during our home tournament to basically win the 54 hole tournament for our team. I believe I was more excited for his first hole in one than my own. His hole in one was in Prestonsburg Ky at Stonecrest Golf Course on hole 17. I gave him a number and we talked about what he needed to do to try to make birdie because at that time we were trailing by a shot a two. It was his third to last hole for the tournament and as soon as he hit it, I knew it was pretty good. It is about 200 yards that plays about 25 to 30 yards down hill. It landed on the front right of the green and rolled in just like a putt. He had almost zero reaction and I began going crazy, jumping around, hooting and hollering. That was one of the coolest experiences that I have ever had on the golf course. We ended up winning that golf tournament by one shot as a team, and it ended up being the difference for us winning that tournament.

The first picture is from my first hole in one, and in the second picture is of me and my brother after the team had won our home tournament in the fall of 2025.

Hole in One - Alessandro Giampaolo

AGiampaolo — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 04:16:40 GMT

Hello, my name is Alessandro Giampaolo. I work at a golf course in Las Vegas and after work I went to go play a sunset round. I made a hole in 1 on hole #8. It was 155 yards. This hole in one is my second . The craziest of all, I was playing alone. I did have my phone recording as I walked to the hole hoping the ball didn’t go in because I had no witnesses but when I got to the green, I didn’t see a ball. When I looked in the hole, my titleist Pro V1 number 22 was in the cup.

Attached is a screen shot from the video.

My first ace

Cary G — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:12:11 GMT

On April 23, 2026,I was playing hole #17 at Forest Hills Golf Course in Cornelius, Oregon. The flag was set up 107 yards from the tee. I teed up my usual Titleist Pro V1x ball and hit it with my #7 cally epic star hyper rescue club. The ball flew straight at the hole, landed about 2 yards short of the hole and quickly disappeared into the hole!!! That was so exciting! #17 is an elevated tee and everyone in my foursome roared when they watched it disappear in the hole.

CHECK THE HOLE FIRST IF YOUR GUT SAYS YES!

Rich D — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 22:05:33 GMT

After 44 years of playing golf I finally got my first hole in one!! I was playing with 2 other guys in my golf league at Twin Lakes Golf in Clifton, VA. We were playing the Oaks Course and Hole #12 was playing about 120 yards into a strong wind.

My playing partners went first and both were short and left with one in the bunker. I went last and hit my Titleist T-200 9 Iron on a good line but none of us saw it land due to the blinding sun that day.

I drove the cart and dropped off my buddy Chris. I proceeded to be the first to get to the large green. and saw no golf balls. I thought OK its either in the hole or somehow it rolled off the back. My GUT told me to check the hole first as I knew I hit it well and BINGO there it was!!

My takeaway.....TRUST YOUR GUT!! :-)
