Has anyone ever had a hole in one on a par 5?

["Richard"]

I was speaking to BG458 out this and he said with all the rounds that have been played world wide in the last 150 years (prefessional and amateur) that someone, someonewere, somehow much have holed the tee shot on a par 5. I told him that its possible but not probable. The shortest par 5 I've ever seen is 435 yards and because of the water it would require a 435 yard carry. Anyone know or anyone, heard of anyone holing a tee shot on a par 5?

Best I could find on Google so far is a par 4 / 444 yards hole in one.

For those of you to lazy to click the link..

The 1996 edition of the Guinness Book of Records seemingly replaced Mitera's ace with a 1995 hole-in-one by Shaun Lynch, done on the 496-yard, par-5 17th at Teign Valley Golf Club in Christow, England. That's a dogleg-left hole, downhill from the turn, and Lynch cut across the dogleg. In fact, he used a 3-iron off the tee. His shot actually traveled less distance than Mitera's, but his ace occurred on a longer hole.


WOW, a hole in one on a par 5 with a 3 iron??? I guess I was wrong ONCE AGAIN!!! Am I ever going to win a match in match play? Am I ever going to be right about a golf arguemnt? maybe I should just retire from this stupid game

yeah right!...you sound just like me....I sometimes feel that I'm going to slit my wrists after a bad game...sit in the club house and somebody will say, "we have an opening at 8 tomorrow...you in?"...I put my wrists together and say..."SURE"



though I constantly say that Golf is a stupid game...

How about the one at the bottom of the story? 517 yards straightaway!!

Any peanut butter or vaseline involved?

["Richard"]

No but I'll be sure to make sure there is penut butter, vasoline and baby oil all over the ys6 shafts you bought from me

[covanant]

After reading the Ignite thread,i'm not so sure i want the shafts anymore

["Richard"]

I never used the ys6 shafts though so its different

NO, NO and I agree!

Happy Gilmore has probably done it once or twice.

Yeah, but a Hollywood hole in 1 does not count

The funny thing about that movie was he did it a few times in the movie and it was as if it wans't a big deal. Hilarious
