Whacked the boss around the back of the head with the golf clubs once. Closest I've gotten.

Once. Green was above us so no one knew, we searched behind the green for a good while, then someone checked the cup! it was on the nearest to the pin hole also! just about won it!

Once - summer of 2006. I had a lesson a few weeks earlier and was hitting it long and straight. 178m with the wind helping, hit a 6 iron, 1 bounce and in. Haven't been within an ass' roar of one since!

Closest I have got is about 6 inches..

On the first hole of the par 3 course in Craigavon...

Someones bound to come in with something funny now about the 6 inches...

Bring it on!!

Alright...I heard you nailed Nail Loney with a 6" hole in one...saan. Although he claims it was more like 6cm

As for Golf i'm happy the ball moves off the tee as i'm prone to the odd air shot...lol

I'd say i've got around 10.

1 on a pitch and put course and 9 on crazy golf

The luck required to make the damn ball drop is fierce. I've hit the pin a couple times.

Closest I came was on a downhill par 4. Drove the green ( not a big deal on this hole) and watched in amazement as my ball rolled right up to the lip and stopped. The boys were ready with the high fives, but she never dropped. I'll never have an easier eagle putt however.

No.

I am useless at golf. Amazingly landed a ball on the grass middle of a dual carrigeway at the Spawall pitch and putt in Templeogue.

My best snooker break was 24.

And in my entire GAA career I scored 1 point (that said I spent most of it as goalie or corner back).

So - no shit Sherlock, I am pretty useless at all sports.

frank only hole you got was that wee fat thing you were riding in NY last summer

David McKeown · May 15, 2009, 11:31:39 AM

Got one once on the 9th hole at the par three course at craigavon. Was playing a few holes to warm up before a competition and hit a 5 iron into the whole. Thought Id put it into the trees when I hit it. Played like shite that tournament and pretty much since.

A hole in one? Straight in no kissing. No better feeling.

Does he enjoy it as much as you?

I chipped in for an eagle on a par 4 about 20 years ago in Deerpark, Howth (from about 90 m) - can that count?
