Dan Clermont in Burnaby


>Nice Shot Ted!!!!

You are one lucky man. Do ya get anything for it? Name on a plaque? Local paper?

I once got one as well. It was a proud moment for me and it was a difficult one to boot with a windmill in the middle. Think it was a good 8 yards.

Hope their are many more to come.

>Thanks, Alan. The photo was taken with a cell phone, all we had with us. Based upon my past golfing performance, there's never been any reason to bring along a camera to my home course.

Best, Ted

I got off incredibly easy, Denis,...

Ted Owen, Pittsburgh


>only $37 over 4 hours. It was a really slow day at the course.

Best, Ted

Ah, those windmill holes...

Ted Owen, Pittsburgh


>can be real devils.

Plaque is coming. Local papers the next day. The course graciously gave me the flag from the pin.

I'll probably make my own display something to hold the flag, scorecard, photo of the hole, and ball.

Best, Ted

One 1 down!

>CONGRATULATIONS Ted!!!!!!!!! :~) I don't play golf, but I knmow it is the dream of every golfer to make at least one Hole In One in his/her Lifetime, and now YOU'VE DONE IT! Hope it's not a sign that your Lifetime maybe getting shorter. :~O

Now how about the $5 Stanley #1?

Todd O.

Any chance....

>...of finding a minty #1 in the cup? What, you mean it doesn't work that way? Congrats Ted. That's one h*ll of a shot.

>That's a good hit with a six iron! Outstanding placement. Do you make your own clubs?

Closest I have come is tossing one in from the about 40 yards off the green. I came pretty close once from the fairway, with a wood. Sad part was I was trying to lay up and the party ahead still hadn't toddled off the green.

>Compared to finding an inexpensive #1, a hole in one is ubiquitous. : )

Ted Owen, Pittsburgh


>Thanks, Thom. And yes, I do make them. That's the only way to control those characteristics which the manufacturers don't have time to address.

>Fantastic Ted!!!!!!! Was that by chance the hole behind your house? If it was, that's why the club gave you the flag, they knew that otherwise it would disappear anyway.(Guffaw) I'll bet that ball gets retired and mounted in a wood and glass case of custom design and manufacture with an engraved brass caption.

The hole by our house...

Ted Owen, Pittsburgh


>is a par-4, not a green I'll ever be able to reach in one.

OTOH, a greater distance from this house to the hole-in-one green would not have been an effective theft deterrant. : )

Best, Ted

P.S. Coming back through Pittsburgh anytime soon? Or how about 5-Barns?

Re: The hole by our house...

Dave Anderson Chester, NH


>No plans for Pittsburg right now unless my customers need me. I'm hoping for 5 Barns though even if I can't make it, I'll be there in spirit and I'm donating a marking knife and awl set for the hand planing contest.

Hickory shaft in the 6 iron???
