Hole-in-1

You have great friends !

Wow...Ms RP..Thks for sharing such a great moment in your
Golfing experience...It was I am sure one of the Highlights
of your life...certainly a moment to cherish at that time.

Just curious to know..How long have you played the game...
When you achieve the feat??
If I can remember at that time.. The boss of Pan-West was
Dato Loh.. He is a very nice, generous and magnanimous
gentleman...His son is my class mate Andrew Loh who was
managing the Golf Business at P-W,
Unfortunately, They have sold all their shares at P-W and
now P-W is managed by a new Owner.

Actually I had mine last year.
The moment was GREAT when I saw the ball landed and disappeared into the hole.
Here is how:

Windy, Pond infront with fountain ... Waiting for the flight in front to clear the green.
Pluck some grass to gauge the wind direction.
Hmm ... Head wind, a little bit of left to Right.
Place the "P" club back to the bag. Choose a "9" iron instead.
I hit it and told myself ... not a bad one. Turn my head away ... Flight mates as usual shouted "Good shot" and ..... one of them shout "In .... the Hole" . I quickly trun my head back and ... saw the ball rolling slowly and disappeared.
Hi Five. My wife was in my flight. I zoombie after that.
One lady came by and say that we are noisy and affecting their putting. Well Who cares ...
Later I realise that beside my wife's birth month, the other two flight mates birthday are in the same month of Sept
Sept 21 ... a day to remember. Praise GOD.

Hi VR, When I achieved the feat, I had played golf for about 2 yrs. Dato Loh's a very nice and generous man who I have a great deal of respect and it's because of him that all golf purchases (clubs, balls, bags etc) were done at PW. Now it's all changed and I feel it's going down hill. Dato Loh's no longer involved with PW but with MST

Well done BGLee! There's so much euphoria and no words can describe the feeling! Were you able to carry one your game after that?

Bro BG Lee...Congrats on the HIO...Care to tell us which
golf course were you playing when you achieve the feat and
What was the reward from the Golf Club?

That's great!. The $500 from Palm Springs bought me lots of stuffs at the pro shop as I must spend it there on that day and cannot be accumulated! Lots of stuff was given away to my flight mates and monetary reward was given to the caddy!

Do you know that if you get the golf insurance from AIG, the HIO cash reward is S$1K?

I wish to relate a Hole-In-1 incident as mentioned to me
by a fellow Golfer some time back...

The incident happened in a Charity Golf Event and the Hole-
In-1 prize is a car... A participating Golfer had a Hole-In-1..
Unfortunately, the weather turned bad and it started to rain,
There was a delay.. and this guy was unable to complete his
scheduled 18 holes due to the falling lights( darkness).

The golfer submitted his score to the ruling Official and
was subsequently informed that he was not able to claim
the Hole-In-1 prize as his score card was uncomplete!
He was told to come back the next day to play the
remaining holes.. which he duly did and thereby able
to claim the car.

Is this in the rule of golf for claiming a Hole-In-1 prize in
an Official event? Or just for claiming purpose require by
Insurance Company?

Any one can confirmed this?

Hey, markie....my HOI happened at Palm Springs Batam and I asked the caddie what club I should use as it was a blue pin placement, he handed me a 6i (at that time I didn't think that was the right club, but I trusted him). I wasn't aiming for the HOI but thought if I can get the ball to the back of the green and that would be good enough. The ball flew slightly to the right of the pin, stopped on the green and rolled into the hole....Hurray!!! my flight mates (4 of us) and 2 caddies were shouting, screaming and jumping! They could see the shot so clearly as we're on an elevated tee-box while it took me a bit of time to know what was happening! After that, I could play...the rest of the game (luckily only 2 holes left) was a washout but I didn't complain!

Back at the clubhouse, news traveled fast, Palm Springs not only gave me a certificate but also 500 sing dollars worth of golf products as well as F&B to celebrate....the feeling was out-of-this-world I also had another $500 from my insurance as well!

The interesting thing was that 2 days before the game, I was attending a friend's HOI party at her home and I told her that I would be next to achieve a HOI and promised her that she'll be the first I'd call if it happened When she heard my voice on that day...she screamed! It's uncanny

sista RP, think u r still very excited over it. u use 'HOI' throughout
CONGRATS!!!

You bet, esw...when I need to 'think happy thought' before a game, I take my mind on a trip to HOI land...

I do know that to record a HIO, the game must be a legitimate round...otherwise it makes a mockery of it. You may already know that the official will also inform the golfer that if he claimed his prize of a car, he would lose his status as an amateur. This means that he would be deemed a Pro and not allowed to participate in club tournaments. I can't remember how long it would be for him to go back to amateur status. If I won the car, I honestly couldn't care less about not being allowed to take part in club tournaments!

so sister.. sounds like u speaking from experience of being a HIO winner ah??
