great question. the most satisfying would be to shoot a career low round. I think I would rather have a hole-in-one though.
I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

I'm fortunate enough to have accomplished the last 2 choices on this list ,already this season , but I think that reducing the handicap shows the hard work that an individual has put into their game to try to get better , although I'd love to brag about an ace one day too
At the end of the day ... It gets dark

Definitely the handicap factor for me. The one off joy of a career best or hole in one is great, but I'd rather have the lasting satisfaction of playing better overall.

I'm not playing near as much as I used to and the career best is nice but I can't get the scores down with the amount I'm playing. The illusive hole in one would just be amazing and the best for me right now.

I have already had a hole in one with all my friends to witness it---there was a backup on 14 at the Nations. As "nokids" says it is more luck than anything else. This year the handicap is steadily going down and that is the incentive to play better and smarter.......but is is nice to hear " he has had one"
Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

It's interesting to see such a relatively even split between the 3 choices.
I've had a couple of aces and an albatross and that moment I knew the ball was in the hole felt awesome but I'd far sooner shoot a career low round because it would mean that I played well for 18 holes instead of just having one good swing during a round (with some luck to boot!).
Still though, at this point in my golf career, I'd really like to improve upon my best ever handicap factor. I'm close(ish). Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that to beat it I'm going to need a few rounds approaching my personal best and time is running out this season.
I guess the ultimate would be to have a career low round, including a hole in one and have it be the one that knocks enough off the handicap factor to get to my all-time best.Twitter: @mfarquharson73

I voted for lowering my index to a career low. Not likely to happen this year, given my ability to get off the tee lately, and that my season is over after the first week of October.
It would be cool to get a hole-in-one, but as mentioned above, there's A LOT of luck involved.
Having a career low round, just means I played well for 18 holes. I'm more than confident, I could go out and shoot an 81 the very next day! HAHA!

It's a tough one, l could only vote on the low round since I have yet to record a hole in one. The sense of having a game where everything was clicking and blowing out a previous low round at a pretty tough course was very rewarding, but then again heading out to the same course the following day and shooting 17 strokes higher was a pretty intense reality check

Hole-in-one would be my choice.
Lowest career round and lowest career H/C factor are goals which I believe I can still achieve, annually, and don't. (They aren't that low)
If I didn't think I could achieve these I would likely give up the game.
The H-in-1 is a thing that requires skill and luck. I've hit a pin once and seen the dew trail roll right over hole and stop 10 feet behind hole."Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men...

ok, got the hole in one now. Can I change my answer to career round?
