When a hole in one is not
I had to share this as its too good not too.
I was playing Canadian last week. Not playing overly well but not horrid either. We get to #9. I have honors. We are playing the orange. I hit a slightly pulled 8 iron going at a back right pin. As a lefty it drifts towards the trees I cant see. I am not sure I can find it. So I wait and hit a provisional. Hit it online. It rolls towards hole and disappears. I look at my 2 buddies and say, "that better have rolled off the back and not in the hole". We walk up and I cant see my 2nd. I can however see my 1st in the trees right. So I walk to the hole and sure enough its in there. Now a meaningless shot I pick it up and proceed to my 1st. Hit a poor chip. 2 putt bogey. All I got for the ball going in, was this story.

If you had looked in the hole first instead of the trees, you could have ended up with a par:
27-2b/2
When Provisional Ball Holed Becomes Ball in Play
Q.At a short hole, A's tee shot may be out of bounds or lost, so he plays a provisional ball, which he holes. A does not wish to look for his original ball. B, A's opponent or a fellow-competitor, goes to look for the original ball. When does the provisional ball become the ball in play?
A.In equity (Rule 1-4) the provisional ball becomes the ball in play as soon as A picks it out of the hole, provided his original ball has not already been found in bounds within five minutes of B starting to search for it.

After holing a second shot for a hole-in-one that didn't count..I could care less whether I made par or bogey with that ruling...I'd be furious
I like to call it a power fade

You still hit that great shot, regardless of what the end score on the hole was

Still a good shot , but you should still frame the ball , maybe put an asterisk beside it
I think this story could only be trumped if you got a hole in one with no witnesses, now that would suck.At the end of the day ... It gets dark

Did something similar in a college tourney...
First ball landed on a flat sprinkler head in the fringe, shoots way over the green into a backyard which was clearly white staked OB.
3 from the tee & one hop in.

Something similar to... at Kingsway in the early 90's, # 4 ....a par 5 , I hit my drive OB , tee'd off at 3 and jarred my 2nd shot ..I mean my 4th shot in the hole...... by the way.. I never had a hole in one or an albatross, but I'll always remember that birdie.

Just so no one gives up hope....http://www.tampabay.com/news/tarpon-...-round/2274877. I've been fortunate to play with these gentlemen and they are still making it happen.
