Think the AP boycott is over...if not sorry.

Allan, whose favorite hobbies have been pheasant hunting and football, said he let out a "whoop" and high-fived his friend, 11-year-old Ethan Luck, when he saw the ball disappear in the hole. But the boys didn't think much more about it.

That's what happens when you play with LUCK.

Tell me about it. I've been playing for more than 50 years and carry a single digit handicap. I play regularly with a group of about 16 other guys, all but one of whom have higher handicaps. I'm the only one without a hole-in-one. And don't think for a minute that I'm not reminded of it on a fairly regular basis.

Wow... the same thing almost happened to me... the VERY first time I ever played golf - when I was 12...

On my very first par 3 ever, I hit a shot that landed on the green, took two bounces, hit the pin and landed about 3 feet away...

I remember looking at my dad and saying “I thought you said that this game was hard”...

Of course, I never got close again.

What great, good fortune for the young man. I hope he continues to play.

I had to get in only about 3,762 rounds before I casually knocked off a hole-in-one. But who's counting?

No hole-in-one yet, but my 6-year old son has a decent swing, and has beaten me on at least one par 3 hole at the executive 9 I take him to. And no-kidding, if there is golf on TV he prefers to watch it over cartoons. And when its over he grabs his clubs and wacks plastic balls all over the place in the back yard. He once even dug a hole in my lawn and stuck in a bucket for a cup. That did not make me happy. But, if he can go Pro some day and pay off Dad’s house ,I’ll forgive him.

The only hole in one I ever saw started off as a worm burner.

was whacking the ball around with a friend, not even keeping score.

That right there means "not a hole-in-one". At least not an official one. It must happen during a round of at least 9 holes along with a witness. Non the less, it's always fun to hole out a shot even if it's on a practice range. I hope she gets hooked by the game. It's something she can enjoy well into her later years.

I have a golfing question. Often on golf broadcasts I hear an approach shot to the green being referred to as “pin high.” What does that mean, exactly? Thanks in advance.
