Only guy to drive a par 4 during an NGT round.
Only guy to miss the eagle putt during an NGT round.

I've got nuthin'. Let you know if I come up with sumthin'.

I've passed the PGA Playing Ability Test, so I'm good enough to one day be considered a golf professional.

Birdied the 18th at Valhalla. (don't tell anyone it's not a hard hole though)

Made 6 consecutive pars in my first visit to Olympia Fields.

Odds of making a 'hole in one' are 12,500 to 1.
Odds of making an 'albatross' are 6,000,000 to 1.
I have made one of each!
With witnesses to both.
Suck that! lol.

I don't have an albatross, but I have a hole in one and a 300 bowling round (sanctioned). Suck on that! :D

[Not too many people have done both of these feat, I venture, and I'll tell you that there is a LOT more pressure to get a 300 than get a hole in one, I am not sure about the odds, but it is much, much harder...]

Congratulations P ! that means you worked hard to be able to beat the bowling game. good on ya.

How am I not surprised? I bet the flat stick got it's ass beat too. Damn putter or poor putter actually.

2 Albatross (2nd shot 5w uphill 214 yards in and the other 205 yards in 3-hybrid) Both witnessed. Slammed the hole a few times on Par 3's and caved in the sides but the big 0 on Hole in Ones.

Albatross is sweetness. Hole in one would be just as sweet. Keep on throwing darts and one will drop eventually.

13 Sanctioned 300 Games and 5 Sanction 800+ Series... 852 being the highest (300 + 300 + 252). I threw 38 strikes in a row at very easy bowling alley in Colorado near Glenwood Springs practicing. I could roll with the Pro's and did in regional tournaments. Got boring and golf took over. But yes, rolling 3 bills will test your nerves, especially when everyone stops bowling to watch your 10th frame. Knees knock with nerves and that is no BS.

Broke 70 3 times. 4 consecutive birdies. 3 hernia operations, will be 4 within the year by the way its looking. And have been married 3 times. 3rd time is the charm....right....

Respect! You are right about everyone stopping and watching and the weakness in the knees: I thought I was going to faint, I felt so weak. I have no 800 series but a couple in the low to mid 700s and I quit shortly after my 300 game (I was getting hurt in my lower back slowly... probably a bad tweak in my swing). That was nearly 20 years ago, before I even started golf.

2 Albatrosses is just awesome! Congrats! I only got onto the green in 2 on par 5s a handful of times (and no resulting eagle from those, despite the 5 eagles that I have in total: 2 hole-outs from the fairway on par 4s, 2 chip-ins on par 5s and the one hole in one), so the odds of one for me are not good! ;). But, as I said, very few people have had both a Hole in one and a 300... Part of the reason why, I suppose, is that it's not the same typical demographics for both activities.

Anyway, you belong in the HOF we are talking about here way more than I do. Congrats!!

LOL! Congrats on the rounds in the 60s and all the rest!

With exception of COG and Gary, I have played rounds of golf with every guy that responded to this forum topic. (Will play with COG in a month, and Gary almost made the trip a few years ago to Orlando). And Yes, Philippe is in CAL and I played with him when I went to Pebble.

Have had back to back Eagles. 3 Aces. Played 60 of the Top 100 courses in US. Shot 65 twice as my best score (Par 72). Played rounds of golf with 7 PGA and LPGA pros.

Attended 5 Masters, Ryder Cup in 99, and 3 US Opens. And I like to cuddle...

Only guy I know who blows out his knee at the gym trying to get in better golf shape... Suck that!

I hover between an 8-11 handicap and I've played with Jay about a dozen times. Beat him by handicap probably 8 or 9 times and straight up 83-85 at a Donald Ross Course-Jeffersonville GC. He doesn't like to talk about it.
