If they didn’t play 18 its not an ace under USGA rules.
And this whole - come on it’s a kid give him a break - stuff...
Bullhockey - that’s the attitude that is ruining our society.
It is NOT jealousy on my part - he can score it a 1 on the card - fine - but propping up a kid for using a club unfit for the whole and letting him hit from the ladies tees is not teaching him golf and its not teaching him life.
And I take great pleasure in correcting your WHOLE to hole!
bah humbug to you
Not getting laid?
Well just hunt him down and beat him with a stick. That's how you learn about life!
Or maybe he was just out having fun and doesn't need an uptight rules monger to teach him how to behave like an 11 year old.
So an ace played on 9 holes doesn't count? Wrong. USGA considers it a hole in one if played at least 9 holes.
You are assuming that they only played one hole, but in the article we find that it was at the sixth hole, meaning there were only 3 left till the ninth.
The people playing in front of them got back to the club house before the kids did. You saying those guys quit at the sixth hole as well?
Mandan Municipal Golf Course is only a 9 hole course, so by your 18 hole flawed thinking no holes in one on that course can ever be counted, unless the course is played twice around.
but propping up a kid for using a club unfit for the whole
Unfit for the hole? What the hell is this crap? Doesn't ever say that you must use a 5 iron for a 150 yard par 3. They were off the tee and the driver got the job done. If the kid can only get 150 yards out of a driver he uses the driver. Kid was using his equipment properly to his ability. Now if he had whacked the ball off the tee with a putter then you might have a valid point.
letting him hit from the ladies tees
Whatever. So women aren't allowed to count holes in one? The kid was 11, of course he's gonna use the ladies tee, or do you insist that in order to count an ace he has to swing from the pro level tee?
It is NOT jealousy on my part
Yea it is.
Can't believe I got sucked into this bickering over golf crap, but now that I got a long post may as well post it.
