Some great news - great for me anyway ; )
After much effort plugging away, I managed to get an Ace yesterday in a Blitz game. So chuffed. Unfortunately, one of the other players disconnected on his turn, so the game hung and we couldn't complete. I lost the XP, the awards, the skills trophies, and all that good stuff. But I did get the fantastic feeling of having got my first ace! Also, I managed to get a screenshot, so all was not lost.
So then I agreed with the others to play again so that at least we could have a complete game. On we went for another game and it was going well - nice and tight - until the final hole. I bloody went and got ANOTHER ACE!!!!
Waiting all that time. And then two in two games. Ahem....
